Greggs for a cheeky sausage roll or steak bake every now and again.But have you ever wondered what it's like to work there?Well wonder no more, as one former Greggs worker has spilled the beans on what the job entails - and it doesn't sounds fun.Writing for Grimsby Live, Christian Brayford dished the dirt on life inside the famous bakery chain.And he admitted that the free food and drinks you get for working there really aren't worth it.Christian, who worked at the chain back in January 2020, says he was a shift leader - meaning he was in charge of cash handling, staff management, dealing with complaints, ordering stock, and banking at the end of the day.Talking about the long hours, he said: "The working hours could be extremely demanding."You had to be there at 4am on some shifts, and usually you wouldn't leave until after 6pm or later."And when you arrived for work, it was absolutely freezing."It was probably colder outside the shop than it was in it - without the exaggeration."Christian says this was back in the early hours of January, so says the morning were particularly 'icy and brisk'.However, he claims you weren't allowed to wear a jumper and were instead provided with a Greggs hat, Greggs T-shirt, a kitchen apron and a hair net (all staff regardless of the length of their hair had to wear one).Christian says you'd start the shift by putting the delivery away - saying that Greggs had two deliveries a day.One of these would be in the morning and one in the afternoon."We would spend time on the delivery and preparing for breakfast - ensuring enough trays of bacon, sausage and omelette were prepared for the busiest part of the day," he said.He also says this is when the bulk of the sandwiches were made - although.
