Day 156 - 17 Jul 95 - Page 13

     
     1   MR. MORRIS:  I think there is a difference between a job that
     2        provides a useful public service and one that is just
     3        geared to making profits ---
     4
     5   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  You have heard my view.
     6
     7   MR. MORRIS:  -- out of generating hamburgers.
     8
     9   MS. STEEL:  The crew in your store would be taking the standard
    10        OCLs, would they not?
    11        A.  That is correct, yes.
    12
    13   Q.   So they would have been marked on whether or not they were
    14        smiling at the customers when they were serving them?
    15        A.  I think there was a certain -- it might have been
    16        counter that was part of the actual check list.
    17
    18   Q.   Yes.
    19
    20   MR. MORRIS:  Just a question about your paragraph 5 on page 17.
         I do not know whether you have it there?
    22        A.  Which statement?
    23
    24   Q.   It is your supplementary statement, page 17, paragraph 5,
    25        you say that on very rare occasions, for example, during
    26        the lunch-time rush salt could be placed on the floor as a
    27        temporary safety measure if someone had dropped oil on the
    28        floor and there was no time to clean it up properly there
    29        and then.  What would be the problem during the lunch-time
    30        rush that would necessitate having to put salt down?
    31        A.  When I actually made this statement, by the time that
    32        someone has dropped some oil on the floor and someone goes
    33        immediately to the back room, and immediately back, that
    34        might have been the space of maybe six seconds, we would
    35        put it on the floor for that period of time.
    36
    37   Q.   Six seconds?
    38        A.  Well, whatever the figure is; it depends where the oil
    39        spill is.
    40
    Q.   So the existence of oil on the floor even for six seconds
    42        would be something that you would deem as undesirable ---
    43        A.  Yes.
    44
    45   Q.   -- for safety reasons?
    46        A.  Yes.
    47
    48   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  How much longer do you think you have to go?
    49
    50   MS. STEEL:   I doubt if we have more than half an hour. 
    51 
    52   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  Yes.  The question is whether you want to go 
    53        on until you think you have more or less finished and take
    54        the break then so you can check, or have a break and then
    55        go right through to the end.  I will leave it to you.
    56
    57   MS. STEEL:   Right.  It may run smoother if we had a break to
    58        check everything now and then just came back.
    59
    60   MR. JUSTICE BELL:  It is not a matter of life and death, but
