[Albion] Yet another Amex food complaint

[HeaviestTed]

(service = plonking foodthing in a small puddle of lager)

This sums up the food service at the Amex like nothing else possibly could, the last time I was there I bought a match day guide at the Sodexo kiosk, had to ask for a new clean one after it was put on the beer soaked puddle, do they not have any cloths?

A “match day guide”? Ffs

What the feck is a match day guide?

My problem isn't that they're vegan, it's that they're dark chocolate. I defy anyone to be able to tell the difference between a vegan dark chocolate KitKat and an regular dark chocolate KitKat.

It is exactly the same with respect to cow's milk and cat's milk.












What?

They are good but incredibly over-priced - even for a football ground. Same sausage rolls (and pies) were a couple of quid cheaper at Plumpton races last season (will check again on Monday).

When you can buy a box of 6 sausage rolls from piglets direct for £21 at retail prices it shows the huge mark up that Sodexo must have. I understand that you have to turn a profit but this is just a rip-off and why I won't buy them. Maybe they have to do this to cover writing off the cost of the vegan kitkats that must be going out of date soon.

Not really incredibly - about standard for event catering, pub prices etc.

Here we go again…

I do wish the great British public would try better to understand Foodservice and the Hospitality sector in general. Comparing it to Food retail is almost like comparing it to Fashion ie they’re completely different really.

Maybe we need Greg Wallace to do an Inside the Operator to better educate everyone

Exactly………also, buying food at the ground is optional Prices are fine - it’s the quality of some of it that is questionable imo. Sausage rolls remain fantastic Palace charge £4 for a Greggs equivalent

 

[Oh_aye]

It would appear to be a quite superb looking double fried chicken burger, with lettuce, cheese, mayonaise and a hash brown.

Not sure about the Palace Colours box it comes in tho

I literally spent 15 minutes trying to figure out what they are called last night when I wrote it I’ve drawn a complete blank - what are they? I’ve got hundreds of the bloody things for the boy.

Have you never heard someone shouting “Programmes” when selling them outside a football ground?

It wouldn’t surprise me if they are called something else now, telling us customers to enjoy our match day experience

Brochures!

Prospecti, to be pedantic.

@ManOfSussex you ought to have a basic grasp of Latin if you’re… supporting the Albion…

 

[Crispy Ambulance]

Prospecti, to be pedantic.

Oh I say (in Dan Maskell voice).

 

[Gwylan]

Prospecti, to be pedantic.

To be even more pedantic, the Latin plural of prospectus is prospectus. But the usual English plural is prospectuses. Prospecti is just wrong .... as any fule kno

I've read some funny old posts on here in my time but "I spent 15 minutes trying to remember what a programme is called" is right up there!

Happens to all of us, I’m in my late 30’s and couldn’t for the life of me remember my age the other day.
