Nothing sours a business like nepotism. It takes wisdom, maturity and diplomacy to ensure the owner's offspring harmonize with the rest of the staff but it rarely happens. And hiring for looks in this tough market is not only chauvinist but means you get more sub-par workers.
I received horrid service at a local pub recently and was appalled--not at the woefully incompetent server but the fact that her disinterested manager was also nearby but wasn't supervising. Are people trained anymore? Or are they just thrust out and forced to learn on the fly?

didn't seem to matter to the young and very attractive (Zim...I'm telling yah...) girl, while attractive service was horrendous
Yet, did most of her customers still tip her generously? Will they go back to gawk again? See why the service sucks?

Well I dunno, none of us tipped her, I don't really care how gorgeous or well endowed someone's chest is, I can go downtown and sit on the causeway and check girls out for free...

Good on you! I hope she takes the hint.

I thought Bill owned the property and the pub? But that was 6 years ago, maybe he sold it?
Doesn't the strata own it, and lease it back to Bill? I'm sure they'd like a quieter neighbour. I don't know, I'm not even really sure where it is, although I've been a few times.

Bill owned the land and the building, as well as the building with the spa and the row of stores with the bank. The only strata I know of there would be for the new condos.
That or I was writing my rent cheque to the wrong guy...

Regular customers were told last night that the lease for the Station House Pub would not be renewed. The rumours are that either a Spaghetti Factory or Keg will move into the space. I, for one, am hoping for the Keg. Pubs in Langford are getting few and far between.
Or it will become the station for the revived E&N.

That will interest the people you have their nascar pool gatherings there, since they were told directly on Wednesday that the place was shutting down and they'd have to find a new venue. But maybe that's just their way of getting rid of the nascar people and hoping they don't notice when the place doesn't actually close.
All I know is the person that contacted me was fairly upset, and I KNOW he represents the owner. I'm not saying he is being truthful with me.
