r/Greggs

I'm talking about stuff that can't be sent to outlets, TGTG erc...

Last night I threw a full, unopened box of fruity flapjacks, EIGHT unopened packs of red onions, three unopened packs of mixed leaf, two unopened packs of sliced tomatoes amongst other things... a couple nights before a full box of brownies... why do they send so much in?

It's like the protein milkshake things, they keep sending them in but we only sell one a day if that... we have a pile of them in the back in the corner almost to the ceiling, all going off within the next couple months... same with the ginger and turmeric shots, we throw more than we sell... I feel like this is the most wasteful company I have ever worked for.

Thankz

Hi guys, I recently applied for a student transfer and I am trying to run up on this through My Greggs. I am aware I need to get on the People’s Team page but I’m not sure how to actually get on to it as I can’t find it on the My Greggs website. Can anyone help me please as I need to get this sorted ASAP and am quite worried that I will be jobless at uni!!!

I have worked in 3 different shops so far and they all have different problems. In most of them I have dealt with:

Catty insecure supervisors who think they are better then everyone else.

Lazy bosses who make you do all the work

Gossiping from the team members

Colleagues who make you do all the work whilst they are round the back having 2 hour breaks

I could list more but I'd be here too long.

i’ve been with the company for just under a year and recently stepped up to responsible person, and at the same time we’ve had a new shift manager start who has been our acting shop manager in our real shop manager’s absence. Within the past week or so, I’ve had two shifts changed without my consent and at very short notice and have had phone calls asking me where I was, one shift was changed to an earlier time literally the night before and nobody was made aware, and I was scheduled in for a different day this week that I was meant to have off without my permission. What can I do about this? I’ve now got an unauthorised absence for something almost entirely out of my control and this is the worst time for me to be making that sort of impression

My pin keeps being removed from the till by one of the managers but the store manager keeps putting it back on I often do a close with a team member can I just keep my pin on the till or does it have to be toggled on and off I know the keys are handed in when not in use but what about the pins on tills

I'm going back to college on the week starting the 1st September and thus I asked to return to my contracted 12 hours (I have been working up to 30 in the holidays) as I cannot balance more than that without falling behind severely in college.

The rota for that week has just been shared and I'm doing over 22 hours. That's 10 hours over what I'm contracted. Can I actually do anything about this?? I will have to quit if not, which sounds severe but my education and A-Levels are way more important than my career at Greggs.

Been working here for months and still have no idea lmao

I’ve been asked to work the opening shift tomorrow, get in at 5:30 to open at 6:30
What should I expect? How do i get in the store if it’s not open for an hour while i’m there?
just any tips and advice would be fab

can anyone tell me which regions sell corned beef bakes? I’ve been wanting one for years lol

tia x

I didnt show up to my shift on the 24th and 25th july after being sick, and when i did my return to work i got coaching and counselling
i called in sick again yesterday and now im supposedly in trouble.. will i be fired for this

for context in the last year ive been off 3 other times than this and my manager has been told i was out drinking, which i did during the day but was home earlier as i had work, just woke up really nauseous due to the heat

I literally froze and kept repeating the same thing. I asked him to repeat the question like 3 times aswell. I’m an anxious person and I literally had 2 hours sleep. It was my first interview so atleast there’s that. He told me if I get it I should hear back the latest Monday which is relatively quick. The thing that made me feel way less confident is the fact that he is interviewing 8 people today so I know I don’t stand a chance. Pls make me feel better and tell me that Greggs isn’t that good lol

What should I wear (I’m 16 and a girl) I don’t want to be too casual or too professional as it is only Greggs
What kind of questions in the interview ?
What are some things I should add to help me score higher?
In your personal experience, are Greggs good to people my age?

Please any help would be appreciated thanks

Should I speak to my manager surely it would show?
