Morrisons will be handing out free hot cross buns to every customer that enters any of its 491 stores across the UK tomorrow
There's no catch, conditions or minimum spend, it's simply all in the name of kindness, with Morrisons hoping that customers who claim Friday's freebie "will pass it on to a neighbour or a loved one" and "re-connect".
I'd rather see homeless people benefit from this generosity than us in fairness!

I went. Didn't get any buns. But they had masses of holes from the doughnuts for free but it turned out my pantry is already full of them.

Made special journey to Hartlepool store, none there either. Went at 2:30 pm, no sign of buns and no indication there ever were any!

None at my Morrisons but my Waitrose was giving free samples (Chocolate orange and Apple Cinnamon) - sampled enough to get a good taste. Free Waitrose One Range Ice cream and cake sample as well - still doesn't make up for the loss of my free coffee :wink:

that moment when you come across your hukd doppelganger :confused: also this is nothing more than a ruse that Morrison's likes to playing on hukd members, there's no free buns just a guy with a counter recording the amount of idiots coming in looking for free stuff, we're nothing more than a staff room joke

Hot! I'm long term unemployed with 7 kids. This will save me from going to the food bank AND save eating in to my personal beer & fags allowance. Thanks O.P. :sunglasses:

I went to 32 stores and got 64 packs for free, thanks to my big, floppy hat.
Actually, the one store I went to knew nothing about it but they were selling them two packs for a quid.
But they didn't look very nice so I stocked up on Fruit Corners instead :smiley:

We use Morrisons a lot, they are our closest SM, there was no sign of any in Tewkesbury, so if this is a con I will be going a little further in the future & it will cost Morrisons more than it will cost me.

Yeah nothing at my store when I visited this morning.
Sounds like made up nonsense. Only two people confirmed they've had any and that's delivered orders.

None offered on Paignton when we went at 10.30 unless they were hiding somewhere with them. But then again I'm not over keen on them anyway

In our modern age I think we've come to underestimate how efficient word of mouth can be in communities of people that aren't fixated on smart devices. Somewhere that's doing a free food giveaway is going to pass round very quickly, especially as there's at least one homeless person outside most supermarkets

Stratford, London branch isn't doing this offer.
Not surprised as many of the offers Morrisons advertise aren't available at Stratford for some reason.

really ?
so lets run down now and spend 40 notes on stuff you dont really need for the slightest chance to get a 4p free bun..?
your getting scammed and you dont know it..?

Yah, I received mine today at 6:30 with special delivery. I think I am the first customer in UK to receive such free gift.

When I worked at Safeway (now Morrys) the hot X buns were made in store,rather than from factory.
You just stick a bag of hot X bun mix into the dough inside the large spiral dough mixer.

You'd be surprised at how much the homeless can get sitting out in the streets begging. My step-dad a retired taxi driver when he was taxi'ing sometimes treated a specific homeless guy hot drinks now and then and the homeless guy bragged that he got around £80 a day from begging. He ignored him after that. You have to wonder what he does with all of that?
I know this doesn't speak of all of them but some can really take advantage.

One bun hopefully to make it fair and not spoil it for others.

Hmm.. some could be! Sadly the genuine homeless ones won't have a smartphone or tablet or whatever to keep them up to speed who and where is giving out some free food..

I doubt any independent baker will lose their usual hot cross bun customers just because Morrison's is handing out a freebie hot cross bun to customers for one day!
And think of all the lucky factory bakers who will be making a fortune in overtime, making enough hot cross buns to satisfy the demand from Morrison's! Best get in there early, then!
There's a Morrison's next to my work, so I shall be there at 7am, 8am, 9am, 10am ...

Bet they have limited amounts per store and will quickly run out.
