Newsbox

This place do indeed charge ridiculous prices and I think they just make the prices up depending on how they feel. They once tried to charge me £1.20 for a packet of polo mints… are you having a giraffe? They are open to a bit of haggling though so you can usually get the prices down, but not by much.
I would probably avoid this place at all costs, but when there’s nowhere else open and you just want a loaf of bread then I guess it’s useful. but prepared to pay for the convenience!

Whilst you expect to pay a little more for your crisps and bottles of water in these 24 hour city centre stores, the extent to which the weasel-​like staff at this particular Newsbox go to in order to extort your cash is beyond a joke, especially if you visit late at night. In general, they will look at what you’ve bought, think up the highest price realistically possible for it, then commence the fleecing. I’ve been quoted £1.49 for a Kinder Surprise before, 89p for a bag of Maltesers, and the same for Brannigans.
They do have to put up with a lot of wretched drunkards, and I expect a good deal of shoplifting, but it’s a pretty shocking way to treat stone cold sober and above all, regular customers. It’s only the fact that they still sell plain Squares that keeps them from a more scathing criticism.
