So what did you guys think of the food at your regional?

I work at the Verizon....let me tell you what my boss said to me when I was at the competition...

well first he yelled at me for not working and watching instead...lol, oh well....

but, they were going to lower their prices, but because of aramark or something, they couldn't....and they figured people wouldn't buy food because of their high prices...they also didn't expect A THOUSAND GAZILLION kids....they had no idea what was gonna happen....on friday and thursday along they sold like 900 chicken finger baskets...which is more than a hockey game...

the reason they were not open all day Friday is because...the morning help left, while the afternoon help was coming in, getting the stuff ready for dinner...therefore there was no one left in the stands...which is stupid, cause they should of at least kept it open for drinks...or opened a portable stand...i disagree with their actions on that part....

Saturday it was open the whole time....so i think they learned from Friday...

I will admit that the Verizon might make more money for a Cher concert than for FIRST. But they did not have the choice between Cher and FIRST. They had a choice between making some money with FIRST and having the expensive building staying idle for the week end. This is very different from say Disney where the FIRST people probably pushed out more profitable business.

Verizon and the food company in it (Aramark) are completely different companies...and considering i worked at Cher and knowing how FIRST went....Aramark made alot more money with FIRST than Cher, the only difference being, Cher had alcohol at it....
The Verizon on the other hand, made more money with Cher, being that they charge for tickets....

So Verizon lost out, but Aramark made a crap load of money this past weekend....
