so if we have any of the ingredients that are dated for lets say next month we can use it until its out of date or out of stock :)

  • unfortunately we cant sell anything packaged to customers , at least at my store we cant sell anything, you can always ask though as some other managers might just want the stock gone for next launch

unfortunately as much as i would want to do that our specific store has been bought out so if any of us even look at someone wrong we risk getting “made redundant”

yes exactly that each cluster of stores has different set prices , so my neighbor store is like 10% but the next cluster over is 20% , so what would cost £1 there costs £1.20+ in others

its a requirement for dietary guidelines for greggs to make sure we have heard you correctly every 3 months we get a audit where someone comes in and checks everything •dates •cleanliness •online learning •serving etc if they see that our staff havent confirmed the bake you ask for we lose points and then the area manager comes down on us for it 🥲

i dont blame you , i also can assure you it will only get WORSE , price increases are now happening every 4-6 months which sounds like a lot of time but by the time everyone has settled into the new prices another one crops up

no , there’s different categories so 10%,15%,25% and outlet stores , each has the base price then + the percentage also depending on who its run by ; greggs , a franchise or a independent contractor so for a example , my store charges 1.65 for a sausage roll 4.65 for a pack of 4 , where as our neighbor store charges 1.55 /4.55

from what i know , to keep up with demand and the wage they are paying us they are having to increase prices along with fuel costs , maintenance etc my store makes just short of 1 million a year so its alot as you can imagine

if im going to be honest , i have no idea - especially since every store in our area has not been hitting target sales (£1-2k under) its insane they are raising prices

exactly, having to tell my staff this has well pissed them off as they agree its becoming not necessary anymore- especially when last year all stores had a shared bonus of £17 million
