Sausage roll anyone?

Tuesday, December 04, 2007

I've just done some Christmas shopping. It was traumatic. I then needed my lunch. However, having given away my lunch to the Salvation Army in exchange for my work Christmas party ticket, I had no food. I decided a Gregg's sandwich was the way forward.
I went to the Greggs by the side of the markets (Exchange Street) as the queues are usually less than the one on Angel Street. Not today - the queue was very long. Once at the front, I chose a sandwich and for good measure asked for a sausage roll. No sausage rolls were ready. The lady said it would be a few minutes. I recalled a sign in the Angel Street branch that says that if no sausage rolls are ready when you ask for them, you get one free next visit. I queried this and was met with "we don't do that". So here's the question, is anyone else aware of this policy? Has anyone actually got a free sausage on their next visit? Let me know.
Obviously, I've already fired off a query to Greggs head office for the official standpoint on this policy.

Edit: My bad, apparently. Margaret has emailed me back from Greggs head office (full points for quick response from them) to advise that the 'free on next visit' policy was a limited time only promotion. And to ensure I haven't been put off Greggs, she's going to send me some nice vouchers. Result.
