A Sydney bakery has been slammed online for an ‘outrageous’ surcharge which has sparked a social media storm.

A photo posted to Reddit revealed the Vietnamese bakery, Sydney Pork Rolls, has a list of surcharges for the addition of extra ingredients such as salad, chilli, meat, ham, egg, pate and mayo.

When purchasing a banh mi from the store in the inner Sydney suburb of Haymarket, the sign informs customers extra salad will set you back an extra 50c, while extra meat and egg is an extra $1.50. An extra bag will also cost customers another 10c.

But the charge that tipped commenters over the edge was an extra 20c to cut a roll in half.

“This is a joke!” one user commented.

“This pricing is getting outrageous, all in the name of inflation,” another said.

“The cost of living continues to soar and this new surcharge in the store is a prime example,” commented another.

“They should ask ‘would you like to cut it in half?’ like a fast food worker upselling (by) asking if ‘you want fries with that?’”

However, some Reddit users defended the shop and the extra charge, saying: “Getting it cut in half means the two halves are wrapped and packaged separately. It’s completely reasonable to charge extra.”

In any case, the George Street store is a popular one among Sydneysiders, with rave reviews and often appearing in lists of the best places for banh mi in the city.
