Chicken Balti Pie

[swindonseagull]

Sold out 25 minutes before half time,same as last home game,not impressed

That is 20 mins into the game......would you not have been better sat in your seat supporting the team, than queing up to fill your gut?

 

[Mr C Gull]

Where do they get their staff? The chap serving me said "I fink were sold aht" I asked him to check, whereby he wandered, down the front of the kiosk, then around the back without speaking to anyone, then he came back and said "Yeah, none left innit".

The two goons in the pie and pint kiosk in the WSU were worse, i can assure you. I was actually looking around for a hidden camera, as i thought that it was a wind up. They took an absolute eternity to serve anyone and had devised possibily the most inefficient way of working together, where one rang up the purchases and then passed the money to other one who opened the till. I want to know where they find these people and whether they actually interview them first, most have a complete inability to even communicate in the spoken word. You sell pies and pints, it should not take more than 10 seconds to serve someone.

Only way to speed things up would be to add a commission element to the hourly wage. The more people you serve, the more money goes through the tills, the more you get paid. Simples!

Commission, now i would like to see them try to calculate that. Matey would have his shoes and socks off trying to count with his twelve (webbed) toes.

Good point, well made!

I assume this explains the amount of abnormally smelly farts waftng along the queue to the station after the match.

I was of the opinion that there was some sort of sewage leak somewhere, but your point makes more sense. Horrific smell whatever it was!

 

[Captain Sensible]

At half time in the WSL they only had Veggie Burgers and had ran out of all pies at 2pm!!!

 

[The_Real_SussexSeagull123]

Love the pies!

It was seriously stinky for sure.

There does seem to be alot of inconsistency between stands and even between kiosks in those stands. I can only go by what I witnessed which in the WSL most northern kiosk ALL hot food ran out at 2.20pm. I spoke to the catering manager for that kiosk, he was about 20 years old and told me they never seem to allow enough pies before games but if I come back at half time they would put some more on! We are only a third of the way through the season so they might get it right by April?

FYI i was dying for a piss,needs must and all that,so buying a pie when game is on makes people non supporters,oh do f*** off.

Wonder what that translates into in terms of lost revenue, running out of hot food 40 minutes before kick-off. £2K? £5K? £10K? Add in the people that never make it to the front of the queue at half-time and the club is losing revenue hand over fist. Oh well.

still didnt get balti pie tonight said they weren't doing them was in east. I asked for 2 pies and 2 cokes and then went to pay with smartcard and was told they weren't excepting them. luckily had cash on me and said thats £10.50 after about 5mins of trying to explain that a pie and soft drink is £5 so two of them is a tenner he finally said "oh just give us a tenner then" let's hope they haven't been taking extra money off poeples smartcards.

oh shut up! stop showing off

 

[Sir Norman Gull]

I also paid with my smart card in WSU and had a Chicken Balti pie which was moorish!

Was in WSL tonight. Had a Balti pie & beer before the game, bloody marvellous again. Half time the queues were pretty grim so I walked round to the South. Shorter queues & a second Balti beer deal. No problems using the card. I love this stadium.

 

[dgh123]

Had a balti tonight in WSU and imo it just is not as good as the chicken and ham one!

 

[Beach Hut]

Had my first pie ever tonight - stake and ale and it was very good quality

 

[I am the Walrus]

Tried the chicken balti tonight it was good but not as good as steak and ale.
