I read there are more Greggs shops in the UK now than there are McDonalds. Good to see them doing well. If I go into Greggs I'm always struck by how nice and friendly the staff are.

Piers Morgan probably gave them so much publicity and they didn't have to spend a single penny on it. :clap1:

Piers Morgan: "Vegan sausage rolls at greggs??? RAAGEE"

*people at home*
"Oh weird, I'll have to try that lol!"
*off to Greggs*
"One vegan sausage roll please!"
*nom n...*
"YUCK! Blergh! This is disgusting! I'll need a real sausage roll to take the taste and memory away! One sausage roll, please!"
*nom nom nom*

Thus, doubling their sausage roll profits :omgno:

Well it can't be down to the sales of its festive bake...minging.

Cherie 08-01-2020 11:26 AM

I really dislike Greggs, my local independant bakery is far superior, but great they are sharing the profits with staff

Crimson Dynamo 08-01-2020 01:23 PM

Pretend you got food poisoning and sue them - you can't reheat and sell food after hot-holding it (the things they keep them under to keep them hot the first time).

I got SO much free food when I worked in a kitchen because things that are still in hot-hold at the end of the night have to get binned :hehe:.

Good for them, it's not like the managers knead the dough.
