That was daft, you could have just not bought it and they would have got it without you having to part with a warm £1 80.

They would say no and tell me to **** off out the shop if I just wandered in and asked them that.

Mathew, you shouldn't say that, there are mothers on the forum.

I heard that our local Co-op donates their food to a homeless charity.
More businesses should do it. Majority of the food is still good and clever cooks can still use it for days.

It's just a thought, but I'm assuming you are a clever cook?


Any tips for for an old alky?

Thats definitely a good idea. I used to work in Peters years and years back, and stock that was left at the end of the day had to go in the bin, with an inventory list of whats gone in the bin AND they sent random inspectors round to check the bins to make sure we ween't giving the food to homeless people. Its just spite. pure spite.

They seem to have been bought out by someone else now. Karma, unless it was just the company rebranding and changing names or something

All the Peters round here changed to 'Cooplands' anyway..

Makes sense don't it, they ain't the only company to do it...start an online campaign not to eat the gravy bakes.

Apologies for interpreting this double-negative as a campaign to boycott the company. And apologies for responding to someone swearing at me with hostility xx

[DouglasS]

To be honest I read it the same way Shaun and Sherzy did the first time. It was only after re-reading it I understood what you were saying.

By everyone not eating at Greggs would eventually result in the homeless getting nothing.

Also they wouldn’t keep baking food if no one was buying, and so buying the food results in them baking more, so seems a bit pointless

I love Greggs

The chicken bake is amazing.

Maybe just not go in after the last bake comes out into the cold shelf?

[Marsh.]

Yeah boycotting will result in less food anyway or possible store closure.

Not if you boycott the last time the baked items come out the oven..it's probably prity easy to find out the timings and stand outside a greggs in an area of high levels of homelessness with a leaflet and words of advice and encouragement. Would greggs really shut because of the homeless?..no, get a grip.

They would probably end up paying to feed the homeless to stay open.

That's not what I said. I said if people are told not to go in because if they don't buy the food it goes to the homeless, they won't make any money and the store will close.

And I said greggs would end up paying to feed the homeless rather than have their shops close...so a gentle leaflet protest outside thier shops at half five on a friday night would be a beginning..it's win win.

They'd keep an unprofitable shop open to feed the homeless.

POPPYCOCK!

Not everyone is as heartless as you..

If greggs already feed the homeless and people strated protesting people not to buy the last bake of the day so all that food could go to feed the homeless then greggs pr would pick up on it and decide that rather than look bad and heartless by opposing the protest they would probably just bake some more stuff and deliver it to the homeless.

They care already, and losing the last bake of the day ain't going to bankrupt them all of a sudden, bloody shops every 50 metres in some places.

Why you have to sensationalise everything I will never know.
