I know John has been dreading seeing his name appear here but he has no need to worry. For those of you who come to Blackaddie regularly you’ll have found it difficult keeping up with the comings and goings of our Restaurant Managers, I know I have. To date none have lasted that long, I’m aware that I am difficult to work for at times as I have exacting standards, but I’m only difficult to please nothing worse than that, I just want everything to be right – all the time. I don’t go around ranting and raving or shouting and screaming either, Gordon Ramsey and I do not have a lot in common!
John, our latest recruit, has been with us for almost 5 weeks now and is settling in well. He is extremely keen and just wants what’s best for Blackaddie, which is all I ask too. A Glaswegian he has lived stateside for 6 years only just returning to his native Scotland and we are his first job back here.
He brings with him an American outlook on service, no bad thing at all; they seem to understand service over the pond far better than we do over here. Nothing is ever too much trouble, nor should it be! My wish is that he stays for a long time; I think he should as he has the desire to.
