[Albion] West Upper closing at 17:30

[LamieRobertson]

Can you have a word about the fires in Hawaii too?

Not sure whether i am being whooshed here…but yesterday i ended up a couple of yards from the ramp leading to the platform …either that or face several cuts from brambles in an attempt to use the railings closer to the existing bike racks….a very small investment in the gap between the existing racks and the ramp would solve the issue…and yesterday isn’t a one of…..shrug.

I’d say so. In the WSU the stewards were checking water bottles as staff weren’t taking the tops off

Our tops were left on in WSU … first time since bottle top-gate started!

Not whooshed at all. Just taking the pee out of people drawing false equivalence between justifiable comments about our match day experience on a football forum and natural disasters. It’s possible to be irritated by one and sad about the other simultaneously.

smartarse

 

[Official Old Man]

oh for heavens sakes, yes indeed context is everything

OK, I got a bit carried away earlier. Apologies all round and points taken.

that’s fine, no problems with me.

I agree with earlier commenst that the kids serving in WSU could do with an old head watching over staff, stock levels and guiding the ship.

The kids serving weren't slacking, and having a screen to watch the game whilst queueing makes the experience much better.

[Weststander]

Possibly but the ones in WSU seemed to know what they were doing just didn't seem that happy to be there ! The guy that served us took half his serving time just taking the two bottle tops off ..... hmmmmm.

Saw similar in the NS. Very, very laid back staff spending minutes with each customer. Is it the cannabis gen?

 

[el punal]

Apparently it was because all the staff had a train to catch . . . . oh, wait a minute . . .

 

[dazzer6666]

Yes, I was struck by the lack of leadership too. You’d think that every outlet would have someone with a bit of authority to gee them up a bit. I ordered a pie. As it was handed to me, I asked for a serviette as there were none on the counter. She then went off round the back and started asking people, and ripping open random boxes to try and find some — to the exasperation of people behind me in the queue. For the rest of the day I was conscious of being pointed at by the angry mob: "There he is! The bastard who asked for a serviette."

Serviettes are ALWAYS on the shelves with the ketchup and stuff, not surprised everyone was angry with you

 

[Norman Potting]

Saw the same in the NS, their moment of glory.

As as aside, I went for a loo visit 10 minutes into the second half, the NS concourse was a third or more full. Very happy punters boozing. Confirming masses go to games more for the craic.

Chap next to us departed at half time and never returned.

On a positive note this was my first match post covid 29th Feb 2020. Left it very late to get tickets, found 2 on line and discovered they were 2/3 up on the East stand looking right down the half way line.

Yep, serviettes are probably the one thing we have too much of.

Assuming you Luzzed them on the pitch after the club endorsement

A friend’s daughter works in a kiosk at the Amex. Apparently Sodexo are obsessed with trying to minimise waste (and thus maximise profit) and the managers are encouraged not to cook too much food in case it gets thrown away. Any shortages of food are usually down to a manager being worried they’ll get in trouble by prepping too much which isn’t sold.

And a good win to watch

Did you give it miss all that time, due to fears over the virus?

Aren't they on a fixed price contract?

 

[Easy 10]

All I feel I end up doing on a matchday is queuing for something I don't end up getting. Be it transport or catering.

Its getting REALLY f*cking old.

 

[Napper]

In addition , it’s Nice there’s now 1 outside toilet so we can all enjoy yet another ridiculously long , slow queue

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

That's what l would have thought.
