Maybe but lifties are usually the lowest paid and just clock in out and leave. I showed up to make snow overnight and it was always patrol the last couple trucks in the lot.
Was an operator for five years, they don’t drink at resort bars but lifties definitely drink on resort and on the way back home. That being said the awesome bus services most Colorado mountain valleys have sort of takes the parking lot out of the equation, at least for most staff. I mean, why would I drive anywhere if the bus is at most 20 minutes away?
Unlike everyone else in this thread and like most of the UK, I enjoy the odd cheeky Nandos. But yeah, you’re paying a lot for the name and less so for the food. That said, it’s nice to have once in a while.
People are weird. I’m just as guilty at everyone else though. Most of the time if I see something I don’t like, I’ll leave it alone but every once in a while, my opinion is more important than everyone else’s experience. 😭
Literally every part of my experience having gone there 2/3 times was shite; soggy chips, overcrowded and obnoxiously loud, the chicken burger literally is no better than my local fast food joint (and a hell of a lot worse than the slightly upmarket fast food places).
Most of that could be forgiven if the prices were reasonable but they’re not; I seriously struggle to see any redeeming factors or reason for it’s popularity beyond the meme of “cheeky Nando’s”, yet there’s not anything cheeky about it beyond the cheek of what they get away with!
Okay, as a Londoner, I’m spoiled with options and I can say that in terms of Peri Peri seasoning, Nandos is actually up there. In terms of being able to get food with an option of heat, Nandos is actually up there. The sunset burger is actually up there. I don’t eat potatoes so I’m not your man for that. Regarding the quarter or half chicken, it’s alright. As for being overcrowded and loud, isn’t that because it’s popular?
I’m vegetarian so there’s very few places I can get spicy fast food wraps like that. Sure, I could buy the sauce and make it myself for cheaper but if that was the perfect solution then no fast food outlet would exist to begin with.
Less likely but if you get the chance to try a Pepe’s burrito they’re pretty good.
Pepe’s is basically a fast food version of Nando’s, with better ingredients and price for the portion size. As such it’s about as far as I’ll stray into fast food.
