[to all the faithfull people that eat what we serve, the ones that compliment & encourage the food service crew even when they hated the menu, the ones that carry on with life even if the food wasn't what they wanted that day or the next...keep it up! and disregard this post]
I have tried to be political correct, humble, organization conscience, and a little removed when maintaining this blog...it really is my own personal blog that is linked to the AFM intranet for those of you who enjoy being able to actually look at a dinner(supper) menu for the week.
But today multiple complaints were aired about food running out at 12:30 for lunch today...to which I say is UNTRUE! Really I don't want to beat this dead topic into the ground but it is way past the limit of times it should have ever happened.
Hot food is never guaranteed for lunch, and I covered this quite well in an earlier post. And because there is food you may not personally want to eat, does not by any means translate to being out of food. If we have a lot of leftovers, then you have a lot of hot food for lunch.
AT 1pm, after the food was down in the dining room for 1 1/2 hours I received rice, snow peas, and soup back from the dining room. Cold cuts and cheese were out for lunch along with options from salads, and the minimum of peanut butter and bread is always out! And that my friend is what I have been conveying to crew since Mercy Ships has set this standard (it has been the same practice on the CBM, ANA, & here on the AFM). The only place that it may be different is at the IOC.
I have also noticed that the dining room staff are the recipients of most of the complaints & criticism. This is unfair to them and it is not right.
Please adjust the condition of your heart to the reason you came to serve and move forward from there...so somebody else can get to the peanut butter!
