    Never heard of 'fat hamsters', but the pub I worked in were quite strict about giving between a 5 and 10% head (which I never did).
  • Why not complain? i complained to little chef and got a voucher!
  • write to the boss - local 'spoons sometimes goes short of even basic items (sausages?!), despite being v close to a massive tesco's..
    Long time away from MSE, been dealing real life stuff..
    Sometimes seen lurking on the compers forum :-)
  • Maybe they didn't get a delivery of tomatoes that day because the tomato lorry got stuck in the snow!

    thats probably what happened - the tomatoes were so late they just could not ketchup....

    boom boom!!

    Write to your local M.P. Failing that, take the case to the European Court of Tomato rights
  • Drop a line to HQ.

    While a missing slice of tomato is not the end of the world, you did not deserve to be laughed at.

    If tomatoes weren't on the delivery for some reason (possibly snow) then the staff wouldn't have been allowed to source them elsewhere. Common practise at most low priced food outlets where prices margins are very tight. Certainly not an issue exclusive to Wetherspoons.
    I worked for Wetherspoons in the past and despite some customers been lovely -they win the prize as far as I am concerned for having the rudest most pig ignorent occassional customers (the regulars weren't generaly like that).
    Not the best company to work for certainly but I worked in several of their pubs getting exactly the flexible family friendly hours I wanted so not all bad
