“Bloody outrage”: Cafe roasted for stingy vegemite toast

A Sydney cafe is being dragged online after a customer shared a photo of a piece of toast with a very stingy spread of Vegemite on it.

An outraged customer shared a photo of the “very disappointing” piece of toast on the weekend, which sparked hundreds of comments from equally offended Australians. The criminally offensive piece of toast was purchased at a popular eatery in Newtown, Sydney. 

The photo shows a piece of almost raw sourdough, with a buttered middle and hardly any vegemite in the centre.

“Vegemite on toast from a cafe,” the disappointed Reddit user wrote, alongside a sad face emoji. 

The photo sparked a flurry of anger in the comments.

“That’s just un-Australian and needs to be called out,” one user raged.

“It’s barely toasted and the butter doesn’t even make it to the edges. Let alone the issue with the Vegemite,” another fumed.

Another added: “That’s bloody outrage that is!”

Despite the overflow of support, there were some who questioned the type of person who orders toast from a cafe.

“OK, that’s terrible … but who tf is ordering vegemite toast from a cafe?” one wrote.

Mostly though, people just saw the “abysmal” brekkie offering as an opportunity to roast Sydney prices and services.
