Who wants a nice watch, or a car, or even a bonus when you can have a *free* sausage roll for the next forty shifts?
With the way food prices have been rising, it's a no-brainer!

Recognising that sausage rolls are not everyone's choice a Time Off in Lieu of Sausage Rolls policy has been introduced
You can leave 30 seconds early for 40 shifts or with the agreement of your team leader take 20 minutes off in one day.

We used to joke that even on days off there’s still toil.

Mr Parsons said "words can't express my appreciation" for the gifts.
I'll bet. He probably wanted to shove them up the boss's arse.

The Co-op on the Channel Islands sells a Ginsters sausage roll for £1.59
Greggs are about £1.50 or something. Might be a little presumptuous to assume that he's going to get a *cooked* sausage roll every shift, but let's push the boat out and add an extra 20p for heating it in the oven and £100 for the mural (assuming it wasn't hand-painted by one of the other dogsbodies for free)
So, for 40 years of unflinching service in arguably the worst part of the retail sector imaginable, he's received a gift to the value of approximately £168, or 8 pence per week. Fuck me.

No employer "owes" any kind of gift.
So trying to work out a monetary value of one serves no purpose. Especially when the recipient was plenty happy about it.
You joyless bastard.

I got more permanent things...
But not for arbitrary "years worked" reasons. Got 'em for meeting project deadlines or beating them.
I did work for a mil contractor though, and they don't tend to do shit gifts.

Not legally no.
IF he was happy about it, fair enough.

The way they're taking about him... and the way he looks...
He's not a bit forrest gump it's he? Perhaps actually it's been a kindness employing him and he REALLY loves sausage rolls and will appreciate that recognition and picture far more than a bonus etc like others might?
I mean i love getting outraged with the best of them but am trying my best to find this a feel good story.

You may have a point.
His badge is far too high on his shirt. And it's squint.
