Fresh bread off the line before the slicers 'beautiful '.
The roll line ( where I was mainly ) always smelt good and taste not bad either.

Hi Dave,
Thanks for responding, as someone who has worked in a large bakery operation.
Now the bread wasn't bad tasting , it is good bread. I have had it, but many years ago and it seemed fine to me, as far as eating the bread product.
My question is, why couldn't I smell that fresh bread smell outside of the bakery ?
My experience over the years, has been that if I'm outside of a bakery, but close to it, I can smell the fresh bread aroma, which I love.
But I never could in this case.
At the bakery you worked at, could you smell the fresh bread aroma...outside the place you worked at...say 50 feet away ?
Now, this bakery was a good sized brick building, couple stories from what I recall.
Most bakeries I've used were in comparison, small buildings. Could this be the reason...that I couldn't detect any fresh bread aroma, due to the fact that this was a large building, with probably a number of sections/rooms in it ? My thinking is that due to the large, solid (brick) construction of the bakery...was that any aroma would have difficulty emanating outside of a building, that has a number of sections/rooms inside the building.
I'm just curious, as....no kidding.... this has been a mystery to me, over the years.
I'm not a baker, just a guy who likes baked goods.
Any thoughts ?
Les
