Venting.... you've been warned read on at your own peril

So, for the last year I have been catering MonUCS camps. The feedback willingly offered at the time of the events had been overwhelmingly positive and I must say I was a little chuffed. Not only had I set myself challenging menus considering the budget, but the meals, by and large, were cooked by a crew with no formal kitchen training under my

Well, unreasonable and unappreciative would be like saying the Titanic was a minor nautical mishap. So this post is really the minimum effective response from me at this point. And the point people on MonUCS side passed civil a while back. I didn't offer to step out as caterer 9 days from camp on a whim. It took some serious rudeness, unreasonableness and lack of comprimise to get me there.

As I'm sure you know from having a real job in the real world, feedback is most effective when it is timely, accurate and impersonal. So far the feedback from MonUCS and associated parties had been anything but. Quite frankly the feedback has been completely unhelpful and I've had a gutfull. So thanks for the offer of more but NO THANKS, I think I've had more than I can handle.

My points above based on the information provided to me still stand. The current camp officer was driving a gold plated solution on "complaint proofing" the menu. This is arse about given the budget. You don't go to Macca's and expect silver service. You know what the 'offering' is there so your expectation is set at that level. MonUCS needs to do the same. And not abuse volunteer staff who have invested considerable care and effort because they feel the need to overpromise to the campers.

Perhaps there was a lesson learnt and you are now benefiting from it.

Oh and yeah, I'll refer you to the title of this post too. I needed to vent and I shall use my blog thusly. You were warned but entered the fray anyway. So yeah might not be being the bigger person in your eyes, but given the shitfest I do hope there have been some consequences back to the perpertrating parties.
