What are these? Delicious Digg Reddit Facebook StumbleUpon - 23. A friend of mine was recently undertaking a mock manager test when he was asked this question. What is the correct amount of brown sauce for a bacon roll? the possible answers were; 1 litre, 2 litres, 3 litres or 4 litres. Was this a misprint or is one of these answers actually correct as I imagine even 1 litre would saturate the bacon roll and in doing so destroy the taste.

Thanks for letting us know about this. You’re right it was a typo, we have informed the training department about this and they have now amended the question. (April 2011)

I want to know what is the procedures to cancel my attendance in this course.Thank you.

We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your apprenticeship. The apprenticeship is there to give people an opportunity that they may not have had before and the last thing we want is for people to feel pressured into taking part. If you do want to stop your apprenticeship that is ok, just let your crew trainer or training manager know. In the meantime, if you would like some more support or would just like to talk to someone, please feel free to get in touch with the education team on education@uk.mcd.com (April 2011)
