I was recently in England and I was most excited about trying Gregg’s vegan sausage rolls (I’m not classy, but I was very happy with them). Each time I got one, they came in this bag.

Is it just that each size bag highlights one of the baked goods that fits inside it or do they have different bags for every type of item?

It’s not important, but I work at a german bakery chain (so similar work, but very different cultural milieu, if panel shows are to be believed- I get the vibe that Gregg’s is like a bakery crossed with a Waffle House, but I didn’t actually witness any shenanigans), and I would be so fucking annoyed if I had to get a specific bag for each item.

    I think the vegan one is green because vegan

    I’ve never seen them grab anything other than a single size bag for everything and I’ve eaten a lot of Gregg’s over the years

      Ohh, that makes a lot of sense. I feel pretty silly for not thinking of that now.

      I think I assumed the vegetable bake was also vegan, because they didn’t have any anywhere I went, so I didn’t realize that it has a cheese sauce.

    The vegan one is just green just because vegan…

    They only use one bag for all products and this key is on the back to help people identify each item.

    Sometimes people do a Greggs run to get stuff for a few people and this shows the pastry finishes and shapes so that products can be identified if they are carrying a few bags and they get mixed up.

    I’m sorry, Greggs pastries, particularly the vegan and regular sausage rolls, are the saddest things I have ever seen in my life. Cold, so much pastry, so little filling, what the hell?! You be shot for trying to sell that nonsense in Australia …

      If you want to buy me a plane ticket to Australia, I’m sure I could learn to turn my nose up at cheap, filling, and quick vegan food too.

        I would argue that filling is not one of the attributes of Greggs offerings … I’m so sorry about this situation, I’ll lobby my local member of parliament to see if I can get our government to provide some sausage roll aid drops to what is clearly a humanitarian crisis in the UK
