    • @superflatjellyfish
      @superflatjellyfish 3 роки тому +1

      Completely agree. Takeaway restaurants are used to cooking food to stick into a box for up to an hour so they know to adjust the cooking a little to allow for, say, vegetables continuing to steam in the box. Restaurants don't appear to have figured that out though they seem to be catching on, and at least have taken off menu items that simply don't travel well.

      My dad once worked on a project for BP. In one night out the BP host took them to a ludicrously expensive restaurant, where they booked an entire room and bought the most expensive wine for everyone. My Dad had never seen anyone throw money around like that and found the whole experience very uncomfortable, the meal wasn’t even that nice and the cheap wine that the host rejected for not being good enough (in favour the much more expensive stuff) was perfectly fine, but put it down to the company's culture.
      He mentioned it in passing to one of the more senior people in BP, commenting that he found it odd, and apparently the man was furious. Turns out this one guy was breaking the rules. BP was happy to show people a good time on nights out, but this guy was clearly taking the piss. I think they may have even sacked him over it.
