Record Sales at Scottish Chippies
Scotland Records Highest Annual Sales at Chippies & Petrol Stations as Valentine’s Day Arrives 💘
New figures released this morning have confirmed that Valentine’s Day remains the single busiest period of the year for both Scottish chippies and petrol stations, as men across the country once again go all out to treat their partners to an evening of luxury and romance.
Retail experts say the annual surge actually begins on the evening of February 13th, when thousands of Scottish men suddenly experience a simultaneous moment of realisation commonly known as “Aw naw… it’s the morra.”
From this point onward, shops nationwide enter what economists now refer to as The Panic Buy Window.
Petrol stations report record sales of slightly crushed roses, heart shaped cards selected entirely based on how quickly they can be read, and last minute boxes of chocolates that were definitely not sitting next to the till since Christmas.
Meanwhile, local chippies experience unprecedented demand as partners are treated to what industry insiders describe as Scotland’s answer to gourmet dining. Popular romantic orders include single suppers shared in the car, chips & cheese mysteriously half eaten before reaching home, and the deeply intimate gesture of offering someone the last onion ring.
Relationship experts claim the tradition dates back generations, when Scottish courtship rituals involved proving devotion by braving horizontal rain, standing in a queue for 30 minutes, and successfully carrying multiple chippy bags without spilling vinegar.
One chippy owner explained,
“Ye can tell it’s Valentine’s straight away. Folk ordering things they normally wouldnae, extra sauce, a second sausage… pure romance.”
Despite criticism from abroad, locals insist the tradition remains deeply meaningful, with many couples agreeing nothing says love quite like sharing a warm chippy in silence while one person holds a bouquet bought beside the screenwash and de-icer.
Authorities have also reminded the public that buying flowers before 9:55pm on the 14th is technically allowed, although studies show only a small percentage of Scottish men are willing to take such unnecessary risks.
