I was in Cafe Nero this morning and noticed someone had left almost a FULL muffin and a 3 quarter full mug of coffee, plus half a cheesecake at the table. These are not cheap items, for a slice of cake in Cafe Nero it costs over 2 pound.

I'm just shocked that people could be so wasteful when paying money like that. As Barbara said once on The Royal Family:

"Oooh Denise, how the other half live".

Have you considered they might not have been enjoying it?

I don't see why people buy things they don't want.

It's a possibility but it's still wasteful. It can't have been that horrible.

They want them when they buy them but if they taste bad they won't eat it just cos they have paid for it.

Obviously they thought so cos they left it.

More like they have money to burn.

So if you buy a sandwich then think it tastes bad would you finish eating it?

I would never pay a silly price for something that looks like it would taste bad.

That's silly. How can you know what something will taste like until you try it. A lot of things look appetising to the eye but are foul tasting.

Fair enough.

Maybe they left for an emergency.

If that were me I'd shove it in my mouth really fast

Or wrap it in a napkin.When my grandad was 90 my mam would often find half eaten sandwiches and cakes wrapped in napkins in my grandads pocket. He always said he got full up too easy.

My grandad is like that too. If I paid good money for food I would always try and take it home for someone else if I didn't want it.
