Just wanted to get a thread going about the dining rooms where you work. Lately it seems, because of the recession or
"economic slowdown" ( for those who are in denial) the quality of food had gone from bad to worse.
I've heard various accounts of in some houses, the employees are eating cold sandwiches. I know of some people who eat all day long during work (which
would make me hurl at the thought of constantly eating on breaks) and then there are dealers who bring food from home and do a pot luck with others and share
what they brought.
It's a hit and miss for me. If I eat a solid breakfast at home, then I'm okay until the middle of the afternoon when my stomach growls. I don't
like the idea of having to brown bag it, especially when the corporation I work for claims to really take care of their employees. So I wind up eating rice (
which is always in a rice cooker) and some veggies. It appears that the bean counters are telling the big brass "save money, cut down on your food costs
and feed them whatever...they'll eat it". To my management's credit, they do eat the same stuff that we do, but I know they're thinking the
same thing...."I'm hungry, might as well eat something, hopefully it won't talk back tome later in the day"
So..........what's it like where you're at??? Good, Bad, Medicore?

Our TDR is pretty nice. They remodeled it a couple of years ago, I think they said it cost a million dollars for the remodel. Nice ambiance, ALOT of free
stuff, salad bar, cereal, ice cream. The line is hit and miss, but you can get any sandwich grilled to order. They really try to get creative, sometimes too
creative on the line. Breakfast is really good here, though. It cost $2 to enter the line.

The Bellagio was the classiest TDR, when I worked there. Nothing comes close to that cafe like setting, let alone the quality of food served. The food served
at my current employer, I wouldn't serve to the homeless even tho they tout themselves as within the top 100 best companies to work for. They don't
dare charge for the food, as they would go broke from lack of customers.

The EDR where I work is decent. If there is steak on the menu, you have to eat early. Otherwise housekeeping will eat all of it and you'll get stuck with
baked chicken. The best food I had as a dealer was at my break-in house the Golden Gate. For our breaks we were given a coupon to eat at the deli. They have
great French dip sandwiches and good pastrami. When I sat box, I was given a coupon for the cafe. I could order a porterhouse steak or prime rib. The worst
food was at the Golden Nugget. Baked chicken and mashed potatoes everyday.

Where I work, we have to pay to order from the menu or we can buy what is on the line for 2 dollars.
It is very hit and miss as to quality. Mostly it is bad very bad. Yesterday the soup was essence of cabbage. That is a giant pot of water with a few small pimentos floating in it and small shreds of cabbage. Needless to say both pots they put out stayed full all day.. not one person took a bowl. |

When I worked at the Bellagio, many a time I would hear about how bad the food was. I told them, they need to work for one of the many toilets that feed their
employees with disgusting leftover slop that is one step away from the garbage. Health food? You have to be kidding. If anything, you were concerned about
getting ptomaine poisoning. Yes, Starbucks, you really are blessed.

I just think that people need to care more about what they put in their bodies. Most of the food that you get in the EDR are processed and made as cheap as
possible....Eewww...

starbucks wrote: You apparently have never worked for the many !*@! houses that use the employee dining room as their garbage disposal. I know what you mean when speaking of the Wynn or Bellagio, but the bulk of casinos offer nothing in terms of healthy and minimal in terms of edible food. Most are like going thru your refridgerator and cleaning out the leftovers from last Thanksgiving. Shame on those casinos that reap millions in profits but show no class when thinking of its employees.
