Fans were absolutely shocked when they heard the price of Dev’s sausages on an episode of Coronation Street this week.
Avid watchers of the popular ITV soap didn’t just watch a classic episode of drama-filled neighbourhood action on Coronation Street this week, they witnessed a ‘daylight robbery’ right before their eyes.
To understand just how much of a blow this was to Steve – the poor bastard who was ripped off by Dev – we need to get a bit of a backstory into what I am now calling Sausage Gate.
It all began when Nina told Steve she hadn’t had the meat delivery that day in the cafe. I think Steve must have got up on the wrong side of the bed – the side without a cooker – because he was fumin’!
The man just wanted a big juicy sausage butty!
Steve was offered veggie alternatives, including a veggie breakfast with ‘beans, tomatoes, mushroom, hashbrowns, egg and two vegan sausages’.
He was absolutely flabbergasted there was ‘no bacon?!’
When offered a mushroom steak, Steve flipped his lid: “That might be all fair and well for your flippin’ trendy hipster types with the weird beards and sandals BUT I NEED A SAUSAGE DON’T I?”
Anyway off he toddled to Dev’s famous corner shop to grab a packet from the freezer for Nina to cook up for him at the cafe – because a big sausage ‘is the building block of his entire day’.
Everything went from bad to worse when Dev revealed the price of the eight pack of sausages: £5.28!
That comes in at a whopping 66p per sausage, and fans are quite simply unimpressed. Someone needs to call Rip Off Britain.
“No one tells Steve McDonald that he can’t have a sausage sandwich”, one said. And that’s the end of that.
