    She needs to set the kitchen up the way that works for her not for him. And I would stand up to him. But she has to learn that or everyone will run over her for the reat of her life.

      He means well, and he puts the effort in - I'll give him that. He just needs a vast amount of professional mentoring.

    • @joanne4850
      @joanne4850 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      No he isn’t a liar. Nicky brought the new guy to him to be interviewed so Mark assumed the job needed filling.

    • @TomCro73
      @TomCro73 ปีที่แล้ว

      Keep in mind this isn't a documentary. Mark's shown he's cost conscious over his payroll headcount, yet no drama about one of the new hires being let go. Probable that the producers weaved the whole situation together, from two different hiring campaigns.

      I noticed that too. I guess it’s because the south west is a natural southerly direction for those of us in that region and the nearest coastline for this landlocked region! Put it this way, on the first sunny weekend of any year you’ll find more Brummies in Weston-super-Mare than you will in Brum!

    • @TomCro73
      @TomCro73 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I hear it started when several of my fellow Brummies won nice boats on TV quiz shows in the 1980s... said region offers very finite scope for the thrills of open water, so they'd convoy to the coast with friends. The tradition outlasted the prizes, alas.

    what I found strange was that the people working with the food in the kitchen would touch the food with their bare hands - was it the norm back then, how old is this program?

    • @TomCro73
      @TomCro73 ปีที่แล้ว

      Roughtly 10 years. Meantime some kitchens mandate gloves - false sense of security. Bare hands, you knew to wash any time you touched anything other than food/utensils. Noteworthy that there was no Covid in the days before santizer and "PPE"!

    Mark really needs to work on just doing his job and working FOR the employees. As a boss you should be trying to make their lives as easy as possible and your employees (or the people you're managing) should be working to make your life as easy as possible. If everyone did that, everyone would be much less stressed, much more happy and productive

    I’m a picky eater. But my parents didn’t force me. I almost flunked home ex, because I wouldn’t eat broccoli. I didn’t eat cauliflower till I was pregnant with my2nd born. It was in a frozen dinner, I was starving soitried it. I love all that now.
    I didn’t force my kids to eat something,I said Try it, if they didn’t like it I’d say what can We do to make it better? 🧈 or a sauce?
