‘Seagull insurance’ £1 added to bill as birds steal food from St Andrews’ Cheesy Toast Shack (www.fifetoday.co.uk)
 
 

cross-posted from: https://feddit.uk/post/16138208

A sandwich business in St Andrews looking to bring in a £1 'seagull insurance' on all purchases - as the birds steal food from up to 30 customers a day.

The owners of the Cheesy Toast Shack say they currently give free replacements to dozens of customers each day - due to seagulls swooping in, attacking people and stealing their newly-purchased food.

The business says this costs them hundreds of pounds a day - and are 'desperate' for a solution. The owners are now 'seriously considering' adding the gull insurance on every purchase to try to cover the losses caused by the winged menaces.

...

Kate and her husband, Sam, 39, have made various attempts to deter the gulls. From playing birds of prey noises, to buying a bird of prey kite on Amazon - the couple say they have exhausted almost every option, 'apart from shooting them'.

Kate admitted: "The bird noises were not the vibe we ideally wanted down at the beach, and the bird kite we bought didn't do anything - people will sit under them and the gulls will still keep attacking, we have been lost for what else we can do."
