The bias towards migrant workers
Why are you never served by a Londoner in a London branch of Pret A Manger? I asked this in the Telegraph recently, and yesterday’s Evening Standard had a great piece tracking down four who applied, and were rejected without an interview.

I have noticed this in many branches of Starbucks and Costa Coffee, in various places including London.

Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

The local coffee shop near me got rid of its British staff over a matter of months because they were on contracts. They were replaced with Poles or similar because they were temps who could be called into work as needed.
Pret was one of my favourites until I heard their policy some months ago, I now try to avoid them but its getting difficult as it seems all restaurants and coffee shops have adopted the same policy.
I hate to hear the same reason about British workers, all cobblers, its about the money and employment regs.

Reminds me on my first trip to Dublin, had a meeting at the City Council offices, teh reseller said after the meeting - lets go for an Irish lunch, went accross the road lovely old place but all the bar staff were Polish!
I think it was funny and you had to be there but I think everywhere we go its like this - in Malaysia so many Pinoys working as bar and waiting staff, when we asked for rice with whatever we were eating it was always bought over with a smile..
