These people should get around more. A couple of days ago I had a pretty good brat with kraut, nice and hot. Service was prompt. The game was lousy, but the food was OK.
Back in my college days I worked in the financial aid dept. at a Louisiana state college. One of the worst jobs I ever had. Rampant socialistic attitudes, incompetence, and having to deal with students who were fed up with the student loan system. Not unlike working in the welfare office. No one ever got a raise, no matter how hard they worked. And when summer hit, you were out of a job. Much better to work at some warehouse like Wal-Mart or McDees.
As long as the beer is cold, I don’t think the Stadiums have too much to fear. Stadium food is almost as good a Circus food, and that ain’t saying much. Whoever thought that a basket of chips covered in nasty chilli with liquid cheese was going to be good? C’mon folks, liquid cheese???
A few years ago a friend told me that he was at a football game and he was in line to get some coffee. He watched as a female employee was, how shall I describe it, picking her nose. He ordered the coffee, and she picked up a cup, putting her fingers inside the cup. He bitched about it immediately, she argued with him. The manager sauntered over to see what the problem was. The female was a minority, and the manager basically backed her. Ugh!
In my experience, I’ve found the service at any sports venue to be the worst of any food service I’ve ever patronized. The employees are consistently and appallingly incompetent and seem to lack basic human skills. I suspect they work at these venues because they’re the cheapest labor available, and unqualified to work anywhere else. Well, God bless ‘em, at least they’re working.
Yankee Stadium food concession stands screen for the most rudest,dirtiest,arrogant,obnoxious and loudest people they can find......and then hires them.
