i bought a sandwich that was supposed to have bacon in it and i didn't notice till i got thru most of it.
I take it back to complain i wasn't being aggresive then the bish walks all over me. This is at the student union shop. I said the sandwich also tasted bad. So she takes the piss. WELL YOU KNOW WHAT? i am pissed off and my stomach hurts i need to do something about but what can i do? I don't think sueing works as well as it does in the US so thats not an option .
But either calling health and safety or complaining about her general attitude would be good (she's just pissed cuz she's 40 her hubby is poor and she works some place where everyone who comes in is most likely gonna be earning 10x what she gets ....................
I feel sick i'm calling health & Safety

1st rule of University.
Never piss off or otherwise fuck with the catering staf.
ever.
They have a pretty hard job, dealing with a whole lot of immature little brats who all think they are some how special becasue they made it to university, and in 10 years they might make a lot of money and be in a position of some power. And thats only the comerce students.
They also have to deal with these brats while trying to keep them happy supplying food of high quality at half the price its really worth, while dealing with University beuracracy.
Everynow and then they will make mistakes. 90% of the time is minnor, and considering the job they do acceptable.
If you go and whine about it they will treat you like the whinning brat you are.
If they make a genuine mistake (like put a coackroach in the maccaroni cheese instead of a dead fly) and you approach them with it in a mature and respectful manner then they will gladly fix it, and you might even get a smile.
But whinnig about no bacon in a bacon sandwhich to someone who has probobly made several thousand such sandwhichs is a bit pathetic.

Sorry Moppie but its their job to give whats ordered and paid for. I understand you dont need to give them attitude but I see no reason not to ask them to get it right and for them not to take their frustrations out on the client.

Dude, it's a f*ckin student union sandwich. The servers have almost as few braincells as their typical customer. Deal with the lack of bacon. Your heart will thank you.

what has health and safety got to do with the fact that you didn't get any bacon?and what makes you think that you need to sue someone for such a trivial slip-up?
It's no wonder that food service people get an attitude towards their customers when their customers treat them badly.I am sure you have met some prize idiots in the course of your job,but bear in mind that food service people are in a much better position to get revenge.Be nice to them,unless you like the taste of other peoples spit.

When they have to feed sevral thousand ppl a day you can't expect the same level of service you would get from a cafe that only feeds a few hundred.

Heres what you do. Post your address here. I will personally mail you some bacon. Several rashers in fact. I cannot guarantee it's state upon arrival, but you will have bacon. Then this poor, harassed woman can get back to her job of making food. And everybody's happy. ;);)

Get what you are given- Something I will always remember my Grandfather telling me- and it sticks :)

Excuse me?! It wasn't me with the issue to begin with, but I'll take it from here. Its precisely the attitude of "My job sucks so I'm going to take it out on you" that’s fucking over businesses now. Everyone who agrees with that assessment, send my 5 bucks out of your wallet and I'll tell you to go to hell too.
If the server is an asshole fuckwit then it should be brought to the managers attention to either have his attitude adjusted or have his ass canned.
You want to allow crappy service? Put a sign up that says “You’ll get what we give you an like it!”. Otherwise, fuck you and give me what I pay for.
Note: You does not refer to anyone here - its generic to the server

WARNING: This is NOT directed towards any one person, but rather the large, and ever growing group of stupid people who bitch and moan because their shit doesn't stink but everyone else's does.
That's not my point. True, some people aren't right for any sort of service. But when you have to put up with customers who are fuckwits and act like 2 year olds with crap in their diapers, you aren't going to smile and entertain their assinine complaints.
If the sandwich didn't taste good b/c of something rotten, then bitch and moan. If the sandwich didn't taste good b/c there was mayo on it and you didn't want any, but you never said anything, and you just can't stand the taste of mayo... too bad. Scrape it off. It won't kill you, I promise.

Yup - that sounds about right. I direct you back to the first line in the post (which I've been basing all my opinions on)
i bought a sandwich that was supposed to have bacon in it and i didn't notice till i got thru most of it.
The order was wrong. Assuming (yeah that word) that is all he pointed out, he should have been treated properly and had the situation remedied in an acceptable manner.

Perhaps this applies here

The fact remains they have several thousand mouths to feed- they are entitled to at least one slip up- you approach them with a bad attitude- they have every right to throw it back in your face- Get what you give- you give a bad attitude- it'll rebound back at you. And for gods sake it is a piece of Bacon- I mean if it means that much to you I will buy you a pack of 12 rashers and send them fast post to you- they should arrive fresh on your doorstep.

There was a similar incident happened a few years ago to the editor of the Auckland University Magazine "Craccum".
He went made a fuss in the Magazine, and even wrote several nasty and often false articles about the cafateria.
The staff responded by suggesting he spend a day work in the cafe.
He accpeted the offer, being from a wealthy middle class family and having never had to do a days real hard work expecting it to be pretty easy.
He was wrong. Totaly wrong.
He came out in such a state of shock he published a special one page retraction of all his previous statements, and in every issue of the magazine for the rest of the year he made a point of printing something that made it clear just how big and hard the job of really was, and making sure that students showed a little more respect to the people who actualy keep the univserity running, like the Cafateria and grounds staff.
Iv worked in a cafe that served about 2-300ppl a day. The one largest of 4 at Auckland uin serves over 10 times that number per day. Its not a job I would want.
Iv had bad food, things missing from sandwhichs etc and Iv accepted it and left it.
However Iv also had a pile of food that had something in it shouldnt have, I pointed it out and it was quickly and efficiantly replaced.
Making a fuss over a missing piece of Bacon to someone who has to deal with extremly large numbers of young immature customers is not going to get you very far, unless you have the wit and charm of a US president. However if you find a forgin object in your sandwhich then by all means tell them about, and Im sure you will be delt with correctly.
