I'm not keen on that personally

What would you advise people to do instead of this sandwich technique? Would you prefer that the person just blurt out the criticism?

In tutorials on assertiveness and constructive criticism, the "sandwich technique" is commonly advised as a way to soften the criticism, to assure the person that you don't hate them.
