I'm just watching the programme and they ran a quickie on Cinnamon Swirls as sold by Starbucks.

 

Apparently in store the calorie count is very different from the on-line calorie count, quite dramatically different, a lot lower in-store.

 

Now a customer pointed this out to Starbuck who said they would change the in-store labelling. Now this was a year ago and still no change (I wonder if they are trying to sell more swirls??). Watchdog contacted Starbucks who apologised and said they would rectify the labelling.

 

Now, you hear this a lot on TV, companies apologising for something or other. What I would like to see is someone turn round to them and say, "I don't accept your apology, now what are you going to do"?

 

I bet they don't have a response to that!

 

The real question: Who on here eats cinnamon swirls on a regular basis from Starbucks and have you seen a weight gain? 

 

If you get a home food delivery from ASDA, check the plastic trays they use, apparently some are really, really, really, dirty!

 

 

I've recorded it cos we do have Asda ...but luckily I always pay to have it in carrier bags  

I don't use coffee shops, never have, and never will   You're right with the Asda crates  

And it's the phone thing that pisses me off!  I'm on TPS and it did stop them for a while. But.......I've never had as much spam mails until I put my CV online with agencies looking for a job. I want these agencies looked into but have been on the Watchdog website but can't find anywhere to air my grievance.

As probably a lot of phone numbers are being taken this way too

I would think that not all stores are the same and they only featured this because of a whistle-blower. I make a quick shop on my way to work each morning at 7am. I see lots of people in-store picking and packing.

I too used TPS to stop the carpy calls, like you it did not work. Now I have unplugged my landline hoping that after a few months they think it's a deadline.

I did spend some time messing them around though. 

I'm watching.

All though you probably guessed that. 

Looks like another interesting one next week.

I should say, that, that spam only comes to my dedicated jobsearch mail address and good for Google, actually it filters it straight away but I'm convinced that some (maybe all)  of these agencies and the offshoots of them are selling our numbers on

 With my amazing powers of deduction, I had realised that.
