Wetherspoon (J.D) Share Price (JDW)

Accip, although I agree with bigpu in this commercial context, MY gran used to say exactly the same; was it on the syllabus at Granma School?

She left school at 12, while the thick kids who couldn't pass an English and maths test stayed to 13. Her job was at a main rail terminus, which in 1914 gave experience of troop movements, before and after. What a generation! 2 world wars, 1 world cup, votes for women, general strike, means test, atomic weapons. We really don't have it so bad; you can get four pints for hourly minimum pay, or, apparently, free coffee.

Yes thang, divi is the weak spot. I expect there will be some presently, given Tim's holdings. Agree bigpu, adding staff time to the coffee production cost would be out of proportion, and keep them from more profitable activity.

But...Sod all Dividends, Tim's using any profits to pay & brag about staff bonuses, ignoring share holders, not a good idea. Who's going to invest to get nothing back but a drop in SP?

Splitting hairs over coffees costing 5-10p each is penny wise and pound foolish

@milnrowmug. Yes a staffing issue in part but JDW management must be aware of this practise being widespread. I wouldn't know how to raise this to director level but it needs to be done if this is, or has the potential to become more than a minor loss on the bottom line.

My old gran used to say, "take care of the pennies and the pounds will take care of themselves". Take note JDW.
