Scots sandwich shop to add £1 'seagull insurance' as greedy birds pinch customers' food

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A Scots sandwich shop owner is hoping to introduce a £1 'seagull insurance' on all purchases as the greedy birds pinch food from up to 30 customers a day.Owners of the Cheesy Toast Shak in St Andrew's, Fife, say they have to give out free replacements to dozens of customers each day.

The matter is costing the business hundreds of pounds every day. Owners say they are seriously considering the gull insurance as the hungry birds continue to swoop in and attack customers before stealing their newly-purchased food.Kate Carter-Larg, 35, said: "The gulls are super aggressive and actually terrifying.

We are a family run business and I can't just sit and watch a sandwich get stolen and not replace it, so I'll always give another for free.

But it is really an issue and it's been costing us a lot of money - people are even left bleeding after the gulls swoop for the food!"We get old women emailing us saying: 'I've nearly rolled my ankle because of seagulls', we have children crying too from it.
