Over priced canteen
Can't believe some of the prices staff get charged in the canteens no wonder so many people either bring in their own lunch or go out for lunch.

Re: Over priced canteen
This should be in the MC forum.
Very confusing for us delivery posties who haven't seen a canteen in years and don't have hours to while away in them anyway.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Over priced canteen
This is the canteen in most DOs - and the stock level is about right as well

Re: Over priced canteen
Sat in our canteen at work now on my lunch break...
There's only about 5 people here, and most of them have brought their OWN dinner in with them...
I give it 3-6 months and OUR canteen will shut at night.... (it only opens between 0000 and 0200 on nights now - useful when your meal break starts at 0200)
Never any fresh food there - somebody was caught tipping some water into the Baked Beans to "moisten them up" last week.

And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.
You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Re: Over priced canteen
Last saw food like that in our Canteen about 10 years ago, when I worked mornings...
Now the night crew get left with all the left-overs (if there's ANY)
