Catering businesses demand more respect for staff

And they do it in a fun way. Every weekend at four o’clock in the afternoon they take a short break to drink water together. A tradition that started a few weeks ago during the warm days.

However, showing respect is not that difficult, they say here. They are calling for all catering establishments and also for shop staff. And customers show a lot of understanding, sometimes there is also applause during the water break.

“Unfortunately, it still happens very often that people snap their fingers, instead of calling Mrs. or Miss. Or whistling or shouting ‘Héla’. And indeed also tapping the poo. Unfortunately, it still happens”, Patrick Slegers said. , owner of Brasserie Pica Pica in Ostend.
