Minion's – The Company's on site Canteen

We are very proud of MINION'S, our on site canteen facility aimed at offering our lower end employees, visiting technicians and trades people the very best in cost effective easy access food that we actually charge them for – a bit like' tied cottages' isn't it.

There is a MINION'S at every one of our world wide agencies so while our clients are being wined and dined at top restraunts and our Account Executives and top creative people are running up a tab on their company credit cards, we can be sure that our lesser employees and suppliers, while disgruntled, are at least not hungry and always able to give one hundred and ten percent and work extraordinarily long hours.


Friendly, no nonsense Edna runs a cracking team. How the Creative Department see Edna. Enda's clone, tries to encourage the workforce

How the Creative Department see Edna.  
Friendly, no nonsense Edna runs a cracking team.
Esther, Enda's clone, tries to encourage the workforce down to dine.

"I'd rather pour milk down my front than eat at Minion's", says one employee.

   
     
The staff are well trained   "...Hurry up, I'm dropping off!"

"...Hurry up, I'm dropping off!"

The staff are well trained in the art of friendly service. "Right love, tell me what you want and I'll see if we do it".
                         

The designer's original concept   the reality    
    I'm sure they've accidentally put some coffee in  
...and the reality.
The designer's original concept for the Minion's atmosphere quotia.
 
 
"Look, I'm sure they've accidentally put some coffee in my coffee!".  
I hear they are now putting soap into the cappuccinos I do hope so

"I hear they are now putting soap into the cappuccinos to make them froth up better."...

..."Ooo I do hope so.".
"Who's the ham salad sandwich?".
hey, a customer is a customer  
The staff at Minion's are encouraged to give large portions. "Who's the ham salad sandwich?".
Tim from despatch frequents Minion's everyday. He sits down next to women and fiddles about under the table. He has been warned not to do this many times, but hey, a customer is a customer.      
If you sneak up behind me again Esmarelda
 
Some of the regulars realise they are needed and can be quite difficult: "If you sneak up behind me again Esmarelda I swear I will leave".  

Some people just don't understand.  
this extra large espresso has quite a kick     I would like to complain bitterly    
    she looked at him like he was no better that a piece of gum
Gosh, this extra large espresso has quite a kick.

"I would like to complain bitterly. When visiting your Agency to discuss an advertising campaign for my oil fields, I was taken out to dine at the Ritz. I have since heard about your in-house facility: Minion's, which I was not invited to visit. Is it because I am an Arab?"

       
When Gerald asked Margaret if she fancied a coffee at Minion's after the meeting, she looked at him like he was no better that a piece of gum stuck to a tramp's foot.
     
waiting for custom at Minion's  
the staff have all on staying awake  
Sometimes, waiting for custom at Minion's can be quite boring... ...the staff have all on staying awake.
