It's a pretty darned poor show.Jenny Eatwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16664664803454422811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-69058227366527837662011-03-07T20:42:15.977+00:002011-03-07T20:42:15.977+00:00Sorry to laugh, but it is funny.

My pet peave is to order something from the "specials" board, only to find out they don't have it. A little training on the use of a blackboard duster perhaps?Wally Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05992375461165449990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8548083804110806782.post-80540745180159982472011-03-07T18:52:39.935+00:002011-03-07T18:52:39.935+00:00So does this mean the farm cafe buys in cheap eggs...So does this mean the farm cafe buys in cheap eggs and beefburgers from elsewhere but giving the impression they come from the farm shop?

Shops are open 24 hours a day these days so its no excuse, especially when it is something non-perishable that they could have big stocks of. Another pet hate is waiting staff that know nothing of the menu etc. My friend is one of the directors of the Food And Wine Academy that sponsored the finalists on Michel Roux's Service programme recently and what he said is so true - we just don't have the culture here of good customer service. It doesn't take big wages for people to be polite but we just accept it don't we?! Well done for saying something to them!Lisa-Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03150130990478203351noreply@blogger.com
