Fish & Chips Eatery Riddle

[Aunt Marg]

Why was there such a high turnover at the Captain's Fish & Chips Eatery?

 

[win231]

The long hours & fast pace really fried the employers.

 

[Aunt Marg]

Good guess, Win, but not what I'm looking for.

 

[Kaila]

The food was flying out of the place,
as fast, or faster, than they could cook it.

 

[Kaila]

The captain wanted all of the employees,
to be chips off the old block.

 

[win231]

Low pay scales?

 

[Kaila]

Flying fish, they were?

 

[Aunt Marg]

Fun guesses, but still not what I'm after!

 

[win231]

The boss was a basket case.

 

[Kaila]

Something fishy was going on?

 

[win231]

The boss was mean & battered his employees.

 

[Kaila]

The Fish who went to the Fish Eatery, did not buy enough or eat enough there....
possibly because they dont like chips.....

 

[timoc]

No-one could stand the 'plaice'.

 

[Aunt Marg]

So many fun guesses everybody, but I have to give it to, Win.
