To Improve the Team Aqualinni has Fired the....Food and Beverage Staff?

[Kelly Green]

.......... to be replaced with kool-aid dispensers on all levels of roger's arena !

[TOMapleLaughs]

This thread is more Canucks than Off-Topic, imho, but whatever. I'm not trying to police it.

Good. Hire a Canadian company and pay them rather than a US company.

If you can't entertain your fans at least show that you care about local businesses.

"It's a process"

"Reset button"

Take your pick.

So is this the rebuild??

[TOMapleLaughs]

So I take it Aramark is proud of their $13 - $18 per hour wages? Pfffft. Like they give a damn about their workers. It's the lost contract they are be worried about.

As for food service, I wonder if the new Canucks-owned operators will be serving Kanucks Kool-Aid during the rebuild?

[TheXFactor]

"launch its own food and beverage business."

Does this mean the food and drinks are going to get even MORE expensive?

[Neversummer]

Good to know that Aqua has the kahun to terminate a contract early ... now let's see if that translates to other contracts.

I guess one could argue that they had it pretty good; being at games and concerts for free, and getting to take time off on EI every year.

Food and beverage staff see none of the games and concerts as they are out in the concourse.

Why do you think they go on EI every year? They are never laid off, they are part-time casual workers.

What makes you think that they could accumulate enough hours to qualify for EI?

[TOMapleLaughs]

imho They might want to go another step in this direction and create their own media coverage, cutting out all outside reporting.

Since the current media won't really be missed and they all love a loser more than a winner, i don't see any drawbacks with that.

However, the Rogers corporate sponsorship may fall into jeopardy.

Just think of how much it would amplify the schadenfreude of the rest of Canada that hates us almost as much as leafs fans if they sent in their reporters that the Canucks would be forced to accepted under contract and just trolled us for the next couple years?

Still find it shocking some people think that monopoly is going to be a good thing!

[TOMapleLaughs]

I don't see a Canuck hoarding of all media content just yet, but I think the rest of Canada will 'hate this team' regardless of the circumstances though.

"Trade remainder that have value next year to maximise draft picks in 2005 draft: Plan under development"

How did the canuck draft of 2005 work out anyway?

2 guys that did or would have played.

Buying one beer shouldn't be more expensive than paying a cashier for an hour. But I expect that will be the case at Rogers.

You really think the new company is going to pay $13 to $18 per hour? Probably much lower because they want to cut costs. Like $10 a hour.

Thats pretty good money for aramark i know guys that do the setup tear down and make 19 to start at gm place.Think they only pay like 14$ an hour to work up in Fort Mac

Lol @ people tying this into the hockwy team's success (or lack of). No this will not improve the team, nor is it meant to. You guys do realize there's more to running a team than what happens on the ice right? The Canucks are a corporation, just like any business they have to manage things like customer service and fan amenities as well.

[Brad Marchand]

Probably explains why the Canucks had a job fair at UBC today.

They even mentioned there were 1000 new job openings (but they obviously didn't say that this was the reason).

[Del Rio]

lol relax people this obviously part of the business, probably got a better company contracted...More to running a sports team than just the team itself

[Herberts Vasiljevs]

I could go work there, but I only if I can make traditional Slovak meals including- Bryndzové pirohy and Halusky

HALUSKY!!!

Nothing else beats.
