Two waitresses told me they'll come back in September because that's when the PUP is being cut. If I don't get staff by Friday I'll be asking the wife to be a KP

I was around St Anne street and was looking to order a pint from a non-named bar, there was two taps outside (Guinness and Hop House) but i was waved inside for some reason. Turns out the pub were allowing people to use their toilets. Now, if you know this location you'll know there's a lane behind the bar which turned into an ocean of urine and excrement over the weekend so I can see why they would open the toilets on the Q/T to prevent this. There are pockets of the city centre that have become an open sewer. Anyone know how wide spread this nod and wink toilet opening is ? I've kept away from the pubs due to the toilet situation.

Incidentally was getting takeaway food earlier today and saw new staff being trained up , was thinking that they were students off school or college for Summer as they looked very young.Maybe this could be an option for you to get some waiting staff. Still don’t understand how people get to stay on pup when they’ve a job to go back to.

I hired my friends daughter as a kp for the summer, she's 16 and delighted to have a job and didn't blink when I explained what a kitchen porters duties are. I like her attitude but hoped the older staff would be similar Interviewed a chef this morning, offered him 30 hours per week and €13.50 PH with the hours and money increasing once business moves indoors as well. I'll get back to you, I have to see how it affects my pup was his answer
