Staff Training

Most people seem to think that catering work needs no intelligence at all and any body can do it with no training whatsoever.

merlot yes she knew fish fingers n chips and jacket potato

Did she recognise the other things you ordered or was it just the poor Ploughman she'd never heard of?

Lacking in general knowledge is one thing, lacking knowledge of your job, is sloppy IMHO

vq it wasn't 'dish of the day' it was an item on the regular menu.
Yes the food was fine

It always amuses me at supermarkets when the gormless young person at the checkout asks me what a particular vegetable is.
They're usually so pleasant with it though that I just smile and tell them and hope they retain the information for future reference.

It would have been wise to tell the staff what the dish of the day was.

Was the food good when it arrived? If not don't go there again.
I watch Pointless on the BBC and see some people very lacking in general knowledge.
