Ok folks BU pissed this morning!
How did Chefette get the privilege position of opening a fast food outlet at the choice location at Barney’s spanking new airport facility? Why should BU be pissed you ask? Chefette employs hundreds of Barbadians so we should be happy right?__WRONG. Chefette like BS&T and many other Barbadian companies have refused over the years to spread wings and expand into a world that encourages expansion. Damn, even Red Castle out of T&T tried to make it in Barbados. Instead they travel the easy road and in the process the “poor black man” languishes by the roadside.
Man BU just want to scream!
Again we ask what was the process of tendering that saw Chefette being approved to operate at the GAIA? To be honest I would have preferred to see Kentucky Fried Chicken! This is another example of our government propping-up an obsolete system which is suppressing the entrepreneurs in this country.
