    I don't agree with quotas (either towards men or women) in any positions. But I would strongly advocate an equal opportunity to apply!

    I read a study recently(based in the USA) whereby men had no problem voting for women, it was actually women who had a bias against voting for other women

    I noticed today that the Danish PM is a lady also.

    Yes, she was the one in the Mandela remembrance ceremony "selfie" story a while back - and she's married to Neil Kinnock's son.

    Got a nice sandwich made up a while ago and the feckin eejit cut it in half but not diagonally. :mad:

    With a knife still covered in butter leaving a butter line along the cut. :mad::mad:

    Of course being stereotypically Irish I said 'thanks', went and paid for it and then decided to complain afterwards on a website. :pac:




    I just wanted to talk about sandwiches, sorry.

    Seems like the Spar in Leopardstown could be doing the same, if this thread is genuine.

    Here's the title.



    And here's the reply from the OP


    That shop is fairly close to my office, and I head up there for lunch the odd day.

    The staff profile is:
    Owner - Irish guy in his 50s/60s.
    Manager - Eastern European guy
    Till staff and deli staff - Chinese girls.

    Been working out here for 3 years now, manager hasn't changed but there been a good few staff come and go - always Chinese girls.

    20% of the worlds population is Chinese, it's hardly surprising is it?

    And others should be able to say it's a load of discriminatory shyte, and that the language used is stupidly inflammatory.

    What kind of idiot thought to put a sign up in public with that sentiment, let alone language.

    I believe, I know many will be outraged on this point, but I believe in a perfect ratio of bread to filling. A fleeting, subtle, mythical goldilocks transfusion of sandwiche ingredients working in perfect harmony for the betterment of the lazy, unprepared deli-bar-fly.
    I reject the eternal upward graph of additional ingredients to refreshment.

    Also maybe as a society we have been too slow and apprehensive to embrace the triple decker sandwiche.

    I think the usual line is that they 'declined to comment'.

    I think it would be an interesting experiment now for a middle aged, white, Irish man to dress up as a chinese woman and go into the shop and apply for the job. The results would be very telling. To fool the shopkeeper the applicant could pull their eyes wide and speak in a high tone, girl voice with east asian rhythm. On getting the job, and while being secretly filmed the applicant could reveal themselves demanding of the shopkeeper if they still had the job. And results on youtube. That'll be the sorting of it.

    I agree, but its his own business. People can chose not to shop there if they dislike the shop, but no one should interfere on how he does business (unless he impacts on their natural rights).

    The majority of them are in China though, not Leopardstown (which wouldn't have a very large Chinese population - apart from Spar) :pac:

    I'm not complaining about the shop BTW - I've rarely had any reason to complain about the service, and the girls that work there are normally quite friendly as well.

    Just always thought it unusual that it was only every Chinese girls working there - most retail businesses out around here have at least one Irish student working in them! Seeing where they advertise for their jobs then it makes a bit more sense.

    You are more likely to get a job with a reference from a friend that works there.
