Yes, this is what has prompted my question.
If there was availability elsewhere, just wondering why it is an issue?

I also heard we hadn’t ordered enough from someone, as we hadn’t sold many vs Watford.

Apologies for the link to the Argus…..more adverts than actual “news” :annoyed:

Chicken Balti pie was excellent……..when we eventually got them. Asked for two, server puts two veggie pies in front of me. Told her they were the wrong ones and repeated we wanted the guest pie, she didn’t know what that was. I pointed to the helpful and clear ‘guest pie’ sign on the cabinet about a yard behind her. :)

The mobile bars + small kiosk in the North are shut also.

I assumed that along with the TVs it's a futile attempt to stop people congregating on the concourse. If it is it's not working!

Staffing issues more like……it’s the same in hospitality everywhere. Hopefully be better once the Uni students arrive in the next couple of weeks.

It’s a difficult job without the correct training :)

I don’t eat at the Amex, but the last time I bought a pie was about 3 years ago and I didn’t realise I had been given the wrong pie until I took a bite, I’m not sure what was in this pie but it definitely wasn’t the veggie pie I asked for. :annoyed:

From the Argus comments.

If the Chicken Balti is so popular maybe they should sell it as a regular pie rather than a guest pie.

We had plenty of pies in the East Upper. I'd go as far as to say we had 100's of pies. In a new tactic the caterers have introduced a covid protection screen that comes down between the till and the customers, thus protecting the staff from non mask wearing fans. Problem with this 'screen' is that we cant be heard and the staff are unable to pass out the pies. Another area had the shutter, I mean protective screen, up and so the 4 staff could pass out the pies but in order to help the fans keep fit and active, they done so at a very slow speed, thus saving many fans their £10.
Yes, the East Upper was a complete shambles with queues of over 40 minutes.
