https://news.sky.com/story/row-over-new-greggs-vegan-sausage-rolls-heats-up-11597679 (https://archive.ph/5Ba6o)

A heated row has broken out over a move by Britain's largest bakery chain to launch a vegan sausage roll.

The pastry, which is filled with a meat substitute and encased in 96 pastry layers, is available in 950 Greggs stores across the country.

It was promised after 20,000 people signed a petition calling for the snack to be launched to accommodate plant-based diet eaters.


But the vegan sausage roll's launch has been greeted by a mixed reaction: Some consumers welcomed it, while others voiced their objections.

Cook and food poverty campaigner Jack Monroe declared she was "frantically googling to see what time my nearest opens tomorrow morning because I will be outside".

While TV writer Brydie Lee-Kennedy called herself "very pro the Greggs vegan sausage roll because anything that wrenches veganism back from the 'clean eating' wellness folk is a good thing".

One Twitter user wrote that finding vegan sausage rolls missing from a store in Corby had "ruined my morning".

Another said: "My son is allergic to dairy products which means I can't really go to Greggs when he's with me. Now I can. Thank you vegans."

TV presenter Piers Morgan led the charge of those outraged by the new roll.

"Nobody was waiting for a vegan bloody sausage, you PC-ravaged clowns," he wrote on Twitter.

Mr Morgan later complained at receiving "howling abuse from vegans", adding: "I get it, you're all hangry. I would be too if I only ate plants and gruel."

Another Twitter user said: "I really struggle to believe that 20,000 vegans are that desperate to eat in a Greggs."

"You don't paint a mustach (sic) on the Mona Lisa and you don't mess with the perfect sausage roll," one quipped.

Journalist Nooruddean Choudry suggested Greggs introduce a halal steak bake to "crank the fume levels right up to 11".

The bakery chain told concerned customers that "change is good" and that there would "always be a classic sausage roll".

It comes on the same day McDonald's launched its first vegetarian "Happy Meal", designed for children.

The new dish comes with a "veggie wrap", instead of the usual chicken or beef option.

It should be noted that Piers Morgan and Greggs share the same PR firm, so I'm thinking this is some serious faux outrage and South Park KKK gambiting here.

I fucking guarantee you if the Civil Service and council scrapped ALL WFH overnight you'd see productivity go through the fucking roof.

Nah, you'd end up with the dregs who can't get jobs elsewhere.

A data area in the Australian Public Service mandated 5 day a week in office and all the good data analysts left to go work for Pricewaterhouse Coopers and KPMG. Job security not as good as public service but the pay is infinitely better and the private sector let them WFH.
All that remained were Jeets who weren't able to produce anything of value.

One word: unions. They demand their workers are lazy because less productive workers in their minds means more people need to be hired thus they get more members and more subs.

Fun fact: there are a lot of job cuts at unions at the moment because the economy is in the shitter but you have to hunt to find news for it, like all the bullying tribunals that happen for people who work directly for the unions or high level members being arrested for corruption.
 
I can do my BAU in about 6 hours in a heavy, busy night. Guess what I do in the remaining 5 working hours I have? I'm putting together a run book on how to do my job for when I'm off. I'm doing SOPs on the processes and I'm compiling a lost of client contacts and special instructions because my predecessor was a lazy cunt who never bothered to do shit

People with this "I'm gonna bust out my workload then do fuck all" types: tell me you never did a job that needed showering after without saying those words.

I'd argue the epitome of laziness is never looking to help or improve on anything and focusing solely on doing as little as possible as fast as possible.

Sooner we take that away from those people the better off everything will be.
 
You sound big mad that other people don't write documents that no one else ever reads.

SOPs? What a waste of time. No one reads those in office jobs.

If you need to rely on a cheatsheet for an office job, you're too retarded to function in society.

I work in engineering you spastic. Everything I do is highly technical and specialized. We don't have a surplus of staff knocking about because most retards used to wfh haven't got the balls to work there, so having a run sheet means when I'm off, I'm not walking back into a shit show.

You sound like you work an easy job in marketing, recruitment, HR or the public sector. Enjoy it while it lasts, you're fucked when AI really takes off.

For someone who complains about the civil service, you have zero understanding of how healthcare actually works.
Do you think that whatever promises a politician makes about health get magicked into existence?
You don't think that clinical advisors or clinical governance exists?
That there aren't doctors and nurses who have to add input into health system decisions?

If you're an engineer, you're obviously a bad one.
A few years back many automobile mechanics started calling themselves engineers and so did a bunch of jeet coders.
I'm leaning more towards you being the latter.
