Young staff?

I didn't pay attention to their ages at the table.
Saw staff of all ages in general though.

So then the new filling station at tesco is a card payment only kiosk with no shop Won't be going there....Circle K on the Dunmore Road can have my trade.

Just went past two stations, Circle K - 1.30 ppl for petrol. the Tesco place 1.21. Some difference, probably won't last.

I know it's cheap but i'll never go in there,personally i never use the self-serve checkouts in supermarkets either ,i think we should be protecting and creating jobs not taking them away from people...

1964 in Waterford from the University of Wisconsin Milwaukee Harrison Forman Collection. I thought I would share, there are a few more photos of Waterford from that time in there

Food is very poor. You'll want to eat before going there or you'll leave hungry.

Staff falling over each other, yet impossible to get a server. Went through about 7 different servers throughout the night, rather than just one server for our table like most restaurants would do. Very clueless, forgetting food, one server said "im only bringing out the food not getting drinks" when i asked for another drink.



Some staff not wearing masks. Little or no social distancing. Packed to the hilt!

The manager was more focused on looking important than actually managing the place.


There was one table in the corner reserved for what I presume was off duty staff but there was about 10 of them having a massive pissup there.
I don't blame them really, as all the staff there looked under wicked pressure and had no real leadership. But it just looked bad.

With a bit of luck it won't be open for long

how come?

Saw the reviews on Google....well I would tell the manager of that place perhaps not to look at them anyway. It's like 1.7 out of 5 stars. I haven't been there yet but I wonder is it really that bad?

In the interests of accuracy your post should have said closing for three weeks because of Covid restrictions.

In my defence, when he posted last night, he alluded to it ‘closing down’

He then put up a further post later clarifying the 3 weeks.

So at the time, my post was accurate.

Cheers for your concerns though.

Don't suppose you can link to a list of who voted yes/no/abstained?

I've googled it and checked https://www.oireachtas.ie/en/debates/votes/?debateType=dail but can't see the list anywhere.

got it a few weeks back

It was ok and nothing out of normal fast food places

My wife really likes their chips.

Its like a decent quality fast food burger, which you can customise a fair bit.

Its decent, mind blowing certainly not. I wouldn't be craving it or anything but happy to have another food option in Waterford.

If we could get a Bunsen burger down from Dublin that would be a great addition to the burger scene in Waterford.

Bear Grills hamburgers are the best in Waterford imo.

I had wowburger for the second time yesterday and its a decent burger nothing special,the chilli fries were nice too,and i see they are starting delivery on JustEat today.

Bear Grillz/The Phat Cow is a nice burger but way overpriced,€12 for a takeaway burger made in a converted bell lines container is a bit much.

They certainly were working as a pop up in the kitchen there at one point. Not sure if they are sill there.

They were a food stall for a good while.
