Complain to right people about food
I would like to respond to the article written by Mr. Dale Stubblefield about the ballpark food. First of all, I work at the Civic Center. If the food was so bad, why did you never take the time to complain to the manager of the concessions, Mrs. Hobbs, or Ms. Carpenter, the supervisor, or the occasional supervisors who help out, Mr. Anselmo or Mrs. Stubblefield?
I’m sure one of these fine people would have taken any suggestions you might have had to improve the food. How many games did you attend? Do you mean to tell me not one time you never took your complaint to anyone about the food? If not, why not?
I guess you were too busy eating those hamburgers and hot dogs. By the way, you didn’t mention the boneless chicken. I recommend you try it next year. The chicken was delicious. The popcorn was salty sometimes. But if it was too salty for you, why didn’t you take it back and tell them? I’m sure they would have given your money back.
You stated people would be willing to pay an extra 25 cents to 50 cents. You are wrong, because people complained when we had to raise the prices. The money that is made at the concessions goes back into the upkeep of the ballparks.
The young people who work at the concessions know they are appreciated. So I would like to take a minute to mention their names and say thanks to the following concession workers: Lindsey Barrett, Brittani Freeze, Lindsey Green, Tessa Lentz, Lindsay Rowe, Caleb Shehane, Kaye West. Plus all the grounds people who work hard to get these fields ready for the games that you cover, Mr. Stubblefield.
Sincerely,
Anna Millraney
