Default Baguette now! Offer ends on Sunday 18th.

Sorry, I just had to get that terrible but obvious pun out of my system. Thanks to lottyxx for a top spot.

Exclamation

Not at all happy about the fact that my name, email address and postcode are printed on the voucher, though!

My print off didn't show the voucher either. All I got was a page of writing!



Remember if you don't need it then it isn't money saving is it??

I managed to print 6 off the initial email attachment. I suppose I could have printed more, but didn't, as I won't be able to use them all in time.

Have just had the voucher refused in Greggs Maidenhead...
Deleted expletive behind the counter said it was a photocopy (which it wasn't) and it should be in colour. Told him we don't have a colour printer and even if we did we could have copied it on a colour copier.

Waste of bloody time!

Default Greggs voucher

If you're having printing problems try hanging your mouse over the voucher and a print icon should come up and just click to print from there.

Prawn baguette - worst £1 I have spent this year. 17 small frozen prawns, cheap mayo and perhaps an eigth of a leaf of lettuce!!

Leave well alone. Put me off Greggs and their processed pies and rubbish sandwiches for life.

Cheers

No problems at all, printed voucher off at 11.30am and was eating my baguette at 12.15 !! Yummy as well, we don't have prawn baguettes in our branch but we have most other types. They are always made fresh and the rolls are lovely and crispy, cant wait for tomorrow now

I had one refused as well today. They would only accept a coloured coupon. Told them what you told them, but they wouldn't accept it. Such idiots! It didn't say on the terms and conditions that it had to be coloured!

Thumbs down bad bad bad

This has to be one of the worst ever deals!

What company expects people to print off vouchers they are supposed to, online, and assume everyone has a colour printer?

Sorry, but this isnt the first company to use this retarded excuse to refuse vouchers.. Yet, look at the voucher? Small print there is not!

I will visit a few greggs tomorrow just to see which i can argue with!
