Kevin Parsons received a certificate and a mural from the Guernsey store.
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?
No.
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.
we've had pigs in a blanket for decades, m8. your mi2 has failed you.
That is entirely correct. You Americans are far too clever for us simpleton Brits. Pigs in blankets are exactly the same thing as sausage rolls. There is no need for you to investigate any further at all.
We actually accepted it as part of the technology transfers for Lend-Lease.
Wait, really?!?! That looks amazing!
So sausage rolls are like the bearer bonds of Britain?
They did the math.
