    Default Concessions incompetence

    The concessions were absolutely poor today.

    I went to the NW one wanting to get a hot chocolate, I got in line 5 to 7 min into the half. When halftime ended, the line moved 1 person, same with the next line and the line next to that.

    Sure it was opening day, but that is not sufficient excuse for the utter and absolute incompetence that is serving one person in 20 min

    Afterall it is drinks and fastfood, not a gourmet meal

    no they shouldnt, because they will get your order and as they hand it to you someone else will take it from their hands and give it to someone else.

    Hell, they couldn't even work the cash when I was paying with cash. If they're going to try to charge me $78 for two chip butties and two soft drinks, I'm going demand more fries in my sandwiches.

    Never go to the northwest concession stand. That stand was the worst stand all of last season. The people who work there are f*ckin' retards.

    I smuggled in a gronola bar, and an apple. I kind of expected some opening day concession confusion. But man I wanted a chip butty, I took one look at the line and headed back to my seat. Good thing I did, I guess.

    That's the last time I wait in line for cold hot chocolate, concessions like our team get worse every year.

    I painfully watched the girls shaking while pouring my beer. What's the deal? They can't give them better jackets? I guess it's 1st day and they didn't know how cold the wind off the lake could get.

    You're all making the same mistake!!!

    Don't buy stuff inside the stadium, it's a guaranteed improved retail experience.

    E.G. I got the half rack of ribs and a frosty beer at The Banknote for the same price as a BMO Shit dog and craplager, with good service.

    They seem to be able to pour the $13 pints pretty quickly though.

    The concessions were terrible for us as well. We waited well over 20 minutes for 3 items. It's funny because they have about 5 runners per cook it seems but all they do is hand food to the teller. So even with 30 people behind the counter it makes no difference...just brutal!

    The Chip Butty's were good, back to real bread instead of the hot-dog buns. But if it had taken much longer to get them from the concessions before the game i might never had seen the game...hmmm, you know, that might not have been so bad, at least then i wouldn't have had to put up with Drew Carey taunting us in 224...

    The specialty stalls (like Mr Greek) work better.

    The general concessions are a horror show. The people working these concessions seem to have never worked in foodservice before, and never worked together.

    One beer girl had to look up my driver's license in their fraud book. I tried to explain that Nova Scotia is a real place, but she wasn't buying it.

    being in 127, i don't really got much choice, it's either that general concession stand if i want that kind of stuff or food, or go across the upper concourse or beer garden... not too good of ideas there :P

    last year it wasn't that bad though, the lines actually moved last year...
