BonAppetit has a dream

From the Employee Handbook. If you liked the lofty metaphors on their campus dining website, you'll love this. Click to enlarge.

"Decision making power should lie with the people closest to our customers"

wait...shouldn't it lie with the customers themselves? I seem to recall that customers are "always right".

Customers are not always right and its pretty stupid to claim that they are just because it's a phrase you've heard before. If you've ever worked a low level job you'd know to roll your eyes at customers like the rest of us.

WHAT ABOUT WHEN THEY TOLD THE EMPLOYEES NOT TO HUG??? how does The Dream fit in there? what would (will) wesleyan dining services be without wendy and the others who actually got to know us all and to be like family to some??? words are just that, bon appetit.

the best part is the last bullet-point: "...not taking ourselves too seriously keeps us grounded."

Yet another example of the union trying to undermine the company. They are using the students as pawns in their attempt to bully BA like they did Aramark. Starting untrue little rumors and getting the students to make fun of the company isn't going to get them more hours or better pay.

What are you talking about? Ishuku found these papers and independently decided to make fun of them. Anyway, your whole premise is bullshit. The poor multinational corporation! Bullied by workers!

Any good intentions sound corny when they're put in words. I still think they're good ideals, though.

I do hope that the union gets back to where they were with Aramark, though.
