Sukup Center Management

Nope, but I worked for levy for a season in college and they’re notoriously bad all over.

I suspect this will lead to an avalanche of posts saying that JP should contract with someone else, but it seems like Levy is about the only name in the game, unless Chartwells goes beyond schools and other cafeterias. Is that right, or are there more companies to choose from?

Levy has a huge base of clients especially in the Midwest. Don’t think there are many different options these days though. So it’s definitely a rock and a hard place situation.

They could just run it themselves. I know, then they might make a little less. ISU concessions have been an abomination for years. In the world of concessions, there are good venues, bad venues and not a lot of in between. It boggles the mind that you can't find a way to take people's money faster. They are already in line to give it to you, the sell is over.

Stepping over dollars, to pick up dimes.

Why would ANYONE do that for $8/hr.. This country really needs to do away with tipping and just pay a better wage.. I shouldn't need to give a $1 tip to twist off a bottle cap...
If you think U.S. servers is bad, it nothing like Australia or Europe where the tip is included automatically and the service is terrible.

I heard we might now have some extra plexiglass sitting around, maybe use it for dividers to keep people in clear, well-defined lines.

I believe Cintas operates in that space as well or at least used to...

According to the AD it's impossible to find help these days because we're all lazy pieces of crap that don't want to work for a reasonable wage, so you're going to have to wait 45 minutes for your drink and like it.
You’re just gonna have to bring your own. For me and the Mrs., every game is BYOB.

That has not at all been my experience. Of course YMMV depending on where exactly you go.
I'll go with your experience. Been to Europe for 2 weeks only. Relied on other's experience, especially for Australia where we have an office and heard stories of the service.

I’d say its even better in both places. Less of a rat race so the people are not angry and always thinking how long until they can move on from their serving job. For a large % in those two places, that’s their career.
 
I use to bring beers in, but that got too bulky so now it's a flask of vodka that gets mixed into gatorade.
We bring in the shooters and mix with cokes. When it gets cold, in comes the fireball and other assorted libations. We always make sure we dump the empties away from where we sit. Wouldn’t want anyone to think we are having more fun than JP wants.

Does anybody like our AD? Hard to tell anymore.
I like him a lot.

I don't have much sympathy for fans who b*tch because their drinking time is being shortened by long beer lines, delays entering the stadium, or shortened tailgating hours. But I'm there much more for the football and I realize I may be in the minority.

Also it might seem like bad service to an American but a lot of those places have a much different culture around going out to eat. They aren't trying to just turn tables and they don't check in on people unless signaled
