Wetherspoons For Waterford

Weatherspoons is a supermarket pub, it'll close the small trading pubs like the big supermarkets done to the local corner shops. I'd rather pay more for an atmosphere in a local owned pub. Low priced alcohol draws a certain type of drinker.

I wouldn't i was blaming foreigners or blamings the welfare, I do believe the system is wrong, we cannot get staff because the job is tough, that is if you do it right, and the benefits that are available are too enticing to quit 190 a week and what ever else comes with that to break your back to clean rooms for what 300?? on a 30 hour week, Ive seen it so often i hear it so often, Can i do the FIS?? Can i do x amount of hours cos i get X and O's and that's a fact cos we are asked it 2 out of 3 applications.

Obviously i was meant to write"I wouldnt SAY i was blaming foreigners or blaming welfare"

Proper wages? you need to quantify what proper wages are? Most places in hotels or bars people starting off come in on minimum wage, but this is changing only very slightly. These industries thrived on the influx of the first wave of foreign workers who came in with little English and strong work ethics but i know from experience and anecdotal evidence that these workers now don't need to do this type of work and most of the Irish were already not interested in this type of work, the welfare option is so much better than back breaking work on minimum wage, some hotels are still paying staff per room which i don't know who they get away with it in this day and age it really should be illegal.

The only Irish applicants we get are people who want to show the dole they applied for a job cos they never turn up for interviews, the rest of applicants are from Indonesia and the likes and that's not even joking, other than that your left with 16 17 year olds that only ever baby sat upto that point and need training in which is long and labourious increasingly so, which brings me back to the original poster where i came in is that the workers either just aren't there or they don't want to work I know this as i work in the industry we are left with very young people who litterally need babysitting which is very difficult in a fast paced working environment and then when your dependant on them they ring is sick its so difficult at the moment I've never known it so bad

again, we ve completely flummoxed ourselves, we ve suppressed labour markets for decades, rapidly inflated the cost of living, most notably in property markets, all to the point of people being unable to meet their most critical of needs, this is in fact inducing highly complex social and mental health issues, most are experiencing rising anxiety levels, this is truly where the system is not just failing, but actually collapsing...

its not too long ago we were saying we would be working far less hours, and largely living a life of leisure, baring in mid, historically, humans have worked far less hours, 3-4 per day being most common, something has gone catastrophically wrong!

funnily enough, that rising tide has a tendency to turn into a tsunami for some, that ship has sailed a long time ago now!

standing on your own two feet is near impossible now for many, we re in serious trouble, yes kids are spoilt nowadays, but their parents are probably more stressed than ever, something has to give, and soon

Frozen chips. Enough said.

Off your head if you think it's €4 for a pint in Alfie's.

Chalk it down.

i agree completely about young people starting there, hotels in that area pay their staff pittance and that's one of the reasons they are having so much trouble getting and keeping staff but to add insult to injury there are a few very well known hotels in the area if not all of the hotels in town that pay staff the minimum wage and deduct uniform and food and you cant even say to them no i will bring in my own food, its an absolute disgrace and should be banned the Irish Hotel Federation have a lot to answer for for allowing this to happen or not demand that minimum wage staff shouldn't have anything deducted from their wages so family run business's can line their pockets its immoral.

Our generation must take the blame really not the kids themselves, we raised them this way what other way do we look at it??

As for frozen chips

Everywhere i know use frozen chips bar most chippers

Geoffs dont use frozen chips.
