On a couple of points about Dome I would beg to differ but basically I agree completely with you.
One of the major issues is that the nix have their fingers in too many pies.
Therefore some of those pies haven’t been cooked properly, some are missing key ingredients and some have exceeded their expiry date.
The pie company to compound matters have branched off into loosely related side business (sausage rolls, quiches, donuts etc) but are not really good at any of them.
One or two on their product range will actually give you food poisoning.
Now, Dome rightly or wrongly is the key baker for this pie company and the front man. When he fucks up a pie these days he try’s to justify it and not fix the problem.
In the old days he had a monopoly and only baked a couple of pies. He would never burn them and they would be delicious. A few customers still remember those pies and stand by the baker. Their loyalty whilst admirable may result in severe food poisoning and the loss of the bakery’s food hygiene rating.
A pie company up the road has came along and immediately got their recipe correct, temperature settings are perfect for their brand, the oven is nice and clean and they know not to complicate things too much. Pies are what they do.
The public love these pies and will travel a long way to get them. Being proactive they are even being delivered. They are getting great exposure in the media. Ovens are being cleaned daily.
The baker in Wellington has thought fuck my monopoly is over but rather then adjusting he goes on the counterattack (criticising their new ovens, recipes and even posts the odd bad review on social media).
He is so busy burning his sausage rolls in his dirty oven that he has no time to make great pies anymore.
Now, there are reasons why after 9 years, New Zelanders vote out a previous popular prime minister and even why a US president can only stand for two terms.
What I will say is that Dome has doubled those figures and sometimes change is good.
Everyone on here, knows someone who has been in a job too long (hell sometimes it has even been you)
Others have known and bitten off more than they can chew.
