You gotta give me at least one rant a week, right? It’s been lean times for eating out, I know. But I’ll be reviewing Tedford’s in February as well as a trip back to Made in Belfast with the Strongman and Barnes next week.
So it’s back to the good, the bad and the downright ugly.
First the good. Thanks to CS in Liverpool for this food-related funny, billed as the “world’s funniest complaint letter“.
Next, the bad. There’s a small chance that I’ll be heading to East Midlands on a press trip Monday week. If such an event occurs, there isn’t a hope in hell of my current soberness holding up.
And finally, the downright ugly. Asda. Yes, the food might be cheap. But whoever decided to put those four ’serve yourself’ tills in the West Belfast store should think again. We stood for 10 minutes yesterday to buy one item. All four people using them had to call the supervisor over on numerous occasions. I can’t help thinking that it would have been quicker to have the supervisor on a till. In fact it would have been. Sainsburys’ scanner system works quite well. Asda’s self-service tills? I’d rather be stuck on a desert island for the rest of my life the cast of Eastenders as my only company.
