A Sydney bakery has been lashed online for charging customers a 20c surcharge just to cut their lunch in half.
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.
However, the one surcharge that had customers smoking online is the extra charge for cutting the banh mi in half.
At the bottom of the surcharge list, the sign states a “request to cut your roll in half” will cost an extra 20 cents.
Users on Reddit were quick to express their disbelief at the extra charge.
“This is a joke!” one user commented. “This pricing is getting outrageous, all in the name of inflation,” another said.
“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?’,” another declared.
However, some Reddit users defended the shop, saying the outlet was well within its rights to charge extra for the service.
“Getting it cut in half means the two halves are wrapped and packaged separately. It’s completely reasonable to charge extra,” one user commented.
