sells crisps, wraps, sandwiches with various fillings and soft drinks tasty foods friendly staff

So I was an airplane mechanic; propellers and governors specifically, I fueled airplanes, and I do home remodeling (like actual building, not buying pretty couches.) Why is this important you ask? Because I am a blue collar gal who likes good food for a great deal.

That is what you get at Greggs. You can get a sandwich and a drink for 3 quid and for that price, it isn’t half bad. They have sandwiches, baguettes, pasties, sausage rolls and an assortment of donuts and cookies. All have been made fresh daily so when they are out of something, they’re out. You can also grab a bag of chips and a soda. Maybe they have soup too.

The service is quick and you often have change enough in your pocket to get a filling meal here. One note is go when they open (11am?) for the best selection. At about 1pm, there may be only an overcooked sausage roll and a tuna&sweetcorn sandwich left.

You can find a Greggs in most shopping areas which is convenient. You can also eat your food while you walk somewhere, such as back to work. Novel? Maybe only to my fellow grease monkeys who are often busy and need quick fix meals. We aren’t ashamed to walk down the street stuffing our faces. We would be more ashamed to have a sandwich or meal in hand that is “foo foo.” My kind will also enjoy the 2 for 1 deals they have on their various pasties.

Don’t worry, white collar folk can enjoy the occasional switch from Pret a Manger to Greggs as well… it is like when a white collar folk crosses in to unfamiliar territory and succesfully installs a wall shelf (you know for like, candles and stuff.) It’s a similar satisfaction which makes them feel rugged and tough.
