Up at the working men's club you can get a jumbo chicken salad bun amongst others for £1.00 exactly, and they are worth it, take some eating :)

Errrrr....... nothing :(

Sodexo has the contract for our canteen and hospital shop.... but i can get a plastic cup of dirty water for 60p....
Oh sorry.... just remembered that it's called the Soup of the Day :cry:

This is how petty they are..... they charge an extra 12p for the polystyrene boxes that you get your takeaway meal in.... it's a completely separate charge.... implying that you can have the food to takeaway without the container :grind:

Needless to say i have a tupperware box at the ready.. and informed the canteen supervisor of my plans today.... she laughed and said 'Go on then Kink.... bring it in'....
My manager seems to think there's going to be trouble from the Sodexo canteen manager..... can't wait :naughty:

Ah good old Sodexo, life of the cheap food suppliers (Yes that's cheap food sold for much more than it's worth). They do my works canteen also, 44p for cerial in a morning!

Once went on a corporate race day with meal included to my horror guess who was doing the catering - Sodexo

one of my pet hates is those polystyrene cups that they serve coffee / tea in...

You know the ones... they keep the drink at superheated mouth burning temperatures for about a week and a half....

My local petrol station uses them... so I keep a cup in the car lol..
