“Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot” is a well-known restaurant founded in 1999 with over 300 chain restaurants internationally. Recently, some visitors have complained that “Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot” is unwilling to serve customers for a second round. For an all-you-can-eat restaurant this behavior is not acceptable. In order to determine whether this rumor was reliable or not, I decided to visit this restaurant on Sunday, Oct.13th. After finishing ordering the first round of dishes, we received the dishes promptly, in 10 minutes. Later, we asked for the menu again and started eagerly in on a second round of ordering. After waiting for 20 minutes, we were served lettuce and cabbage. We decided to remind the servers and asked them to rush our food order. After another 10 minutes had passed, we only received a reluctant plate of mushrooms. Because the store policy states that the dining time has to be limited to two hours, we were forced to leave without receiving another two plates of beef and some fungus. For a well-known and highly regarded restaurant, such behavior is totally unacceptable. I wonder if the strategy of making profits implies taking advantage of costumers and not serving sufficient potions of food on time. I guess I will have to wait a long time for an answer from “Little Sheep Mongolian Hot Pot” from Burnaby.

Expanding Vancouver Shipyards to provide job opportunities in the skilled trades
On October 7th, KEVIN GRIFFIN and MATTHEW ROBINSON from Vancouver Sun visited the Vancouver shipyard in north Vancouver. The government has awarded 3.3 billion federal contract to Vancouver shipyard for ordering ten new non-combat ships. The goal for this project is that to provide more job opportunities in the skilled trades. The president of Seaspan Shipyards, Brian Carter, has announced that their aiming to modernize the North Vancouver shipyard with a cost of $185 million. At this moment there is only 150 workforce, but within three to four years, the workforce will increase to 1000. Federal Public Works Minister Diane Finley claimed that Canadian ship workforce is able to develop 2 billion dollars per year to benefit the Canadian society. I believe that this project is going to benefit Vancouver’s economy as they expected to generate more than 15000 jobs in the next 30 years. More importantly people who are apart of the workforce are paid as much as $47 per hour which is a stable salary.
