 I was gonna say Meal Deal industrial complex but I don't think that's a thing outside of the UK. Or maybe not as much of a thing

 Pret's been too greedy but managed to get £700 million in debt while the execs cash in.

“Pret CEO handed near-£4m bonus in year staff pay was cut.
Pano Christou also given 27% salary rise in 2021 as chain took more than £50m in government support”
