Anyone else experience the absolute shambles of the concourse catering at the Derby game?

It was a cold day, so I opted for a hot chocolate pre match, well thats what I wanted only they had none. I went to a couple of the other outlets only to be greeted with the same response. The game was about to kick off, so I jusy left it and thought they'd be replenished at half time.

Came down a few minutes before half time to beat the ridiculous queues, still to find no hot chocolate. So I ordered a tea and asked for some sugar. They couldn't give me any sugar (and I quote from the young lady who served me) "We only have sweetner sachets due to management losses". I questioned how on earth there could be losses by selling products at prices which are being sold from anywhere around 300% - 500% above their purchase cost. She was as bemused about it all as I was.

After i'd left the counter, the same young girl had the task of leaving her counter to enter the concourse to inform people that they were out of various products. I felt quite sorry for her that she'd been put in that position by her clearly very shit employers.

Marvellous.
 
Same happened to me

No hot choccy, for the coldest evening of the year
Some people asked for (and were served with) a nice cup of tea - only to return to the kiosks a minute later becasue there was no milk available
I asked for a white coffee, only to find that there was a) no sugar, b) they'd actually given me a black coffee, for which there was no milk, and c) the feckin' cup had a leak so ended up all over the seat next to me

All this for a reeuced 20,000 crowd, rather than the usual figure for a Saturday game

Absolute steaming pile of turd

Why do people put milk in tea?
Try it without, it's much better.

Tea or coffee with milk in is like sucking the pus from a nasty, infected bed-sore on Satan's arse

Observed this happening in the East Stand, was that where you were (info for purposes of raising at the FCC meeting) ?
 
My girlfriend applied for a hospitality job at KP. Same employers as catering.

After various broken promises, hours wasted during 'training', she never bothered turning up for a days work.

They are a total joke.
 
No hot chocolate, no milk, chains?

It's so bad it's just like the dark days of the early 80s.

No I was in the West Stand. I had friends in the East Stand who confirmed it was the same situation over there.
 
I was in the South Stand

The seats were cold as well.....
 
i'd go to a cafe for a coffee/tea/hot chocy/pie, not a football ground...
I was in Costa the other day, the football was laughable!
