A shop assistant in Guernsey has been awarded 40 sausage rolls for 40 years of service.
Fifty-six-year-old Kevin Parsons started working at the island’s Alliance supermarket in 1984.
Bosses marked the anniversary by giving him a certificate, a tropical-themed mural for his home and a sausage roll for each of his next 40 shifts.
Mr Parsons, who was described as an “Alliance celebrity” by bosses, said “words can’t express my appreciation” for his gifts.
This sounds bad, but in Britain it is an honor unparalleled to be bestowed upon oneself the sum of multiple sausage rolls. 40 is approx $3.6 million.
Can a yank get a picture of one of these culinary masterpieces for reference?
They’re a carefully guarded national secret with strict controls on their export and depiction. We’d not what the Americans stealing the idea and then calling the “dogs in jackets” of some such.
40 years is almost a lifetime. That’s almost straight from school/college to retirement.
In a better reality: “Besides this huge bonus we have also made a big payment towards your retirement fund to make sure you are set for life.”
“Eat these unhealthy things quickly and die so we can hire someone for less” ~ manager probably.
Yikes.
