Kopek Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 If Leece were doing 'tasting menus' that would be a sign of poor management, being run by non professionals who are more influenced by Facebook and last nights 'Nigella' than catering to their core clientel???

There is an ill wind blowing through the IOM retail and hospitality sector. Lack of money from customers reining in on buying extras. Increasing staff costs, increasing fuel costs, increasing taxes and the price of the raw materials and products going up hugely. This winter will see a huge amount of businesses off and each one is an employer who will then release staff back onto the job market. In the meantime we’re looking for 15,000 more idiots to come here to flood the job market to pay for the IOMG a pension bill. I don’t actually think government has a clue. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 so do we accept a reduced GNP and not try to find a way through this??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our GDP doesn’t rely on the real economy. It relies on VAT arbitrage on spending that washes through the IOM. This is what IOM government fails to realize. These jobs and businesses aren’t directly linked to our economy other than when it isn’t doing well when they will offload expense onto the state in terms of benefits and support.

Went to a pork themed tasting menu there one evening. Seven pork based courses was a bit much, I made a bit of a pig of myself. Also had trouble getting them to understand that although we booked the accompanying wide with each course we also wanted to order bottles of wine as well.

Kopek Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 You really think that our Govt doesn't realise the importance of VAT??? So they can increase Income Tax and buy our way out of this slump??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole of Peel and the west have become jumped up with a superiority complex which will soon bite them in the ass. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopek Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Old GITS, only used it as a lunchtime special so a pig out would not be for me! as i say above, these fancy ideas often come from non professional management who think that they know what the customer requires based on their facebook trawling!!!!

The most arrogant owner/manager I’ve ever had the misfortune to come across. Can’t understand why it lasted so long. It was fantastic when it was Sampphire.

I can only assume they enjoy shouting at waiters so much, they want to take it up as a career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People will still want to go out to eat but government have to step in and help. Currently they would rather swan off to London and Canada than resolve the problems that are coming their way 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are a lot of hard working owners struggling to get by and making sure staff get paid regardless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are some great employers out there who care about their staff and customers and are welcoming. Those tend to be the ones I frequent and always will as long as I can afford too.
