I'm catching up so a bit out of sequence this week....
Why the flipping hell would you take individual orders from a table to the kitchen when the kitchen could cope so much better knowing they need to cook 16 rashes of bacon, 7 sausages, 7 portions mushroom, 6 tomatoes, whatever eggs......etc.
I have stayed in some right dives in my time, mainly when I was younger and too scared to complain, but I can't get over how they scrutinise the whole room for a single hair! Glad I don't have the responsibility of a B&B these days. One room I stayed in I had to buy an Airwick solid to make the smell of the room more palatable, haha these fussy types would have had a fit. Agree about the breakfast though, he was supposed to have designed the spreadsheet to make it easier.
I think they are over fussy & over critical cos they are in competition with each other and want to find something wrong, like the lady this week who stood on the sofa to get to the top of a built in wardrobe to look for dust.
I understand them being uber picky I just don't understand why they don't preempt a certain amount for breakfast service. I appreciate protecting your margin but the approach from some of the B&Bers, irrespective of the direction from the production team is curious....
If you have experience and you know that you have 8 for breakfast you can easily get long lead items on the go so that you just need to cook the eggs.
