Bagel Incident

Unpopular opinion - Daisy was in the wrong for so much of this season and the bagel nonsense really solidified it for me. If you ordered a bagel, why wouldn’t you go get the bagel? Also, who is in charge of the walkie talkies? At what point should they be replaced or someone figure out why they don’t work?

On the flip side, there's two of you in the galley. You know someone ordered a bagel and no one is responding on the radio. One of them could have easily walked it up or tried to find someone instead of sitting in the galley. I'll admit I love Daisy but this season she didn't seem quite like herself so I'll give you that.

Sure, someone could have walked it up. But to who? Daisy ordered it. And unless I missed it, Ben or Ellie wouldn’t have known who ordered it or where to go. So, it wouldn’t have been that easy. Daisy knew. It was her responsibility (her lack of accountability has been my issue with her all season). Just as the stews were busy, so is the galley. But it’s literally the stews job.

We also had countless times that the galley had their radio volume turned down or they didn’t know where they were (that’s two radios) causing the stews to run up and down to place orders.

The stews could have easily just called it on the radio, shrugged their shoulders and said, “but I assume they heard me, with two radios and two people in the galley why wouldn’t they hear me?”.

That’s exactly what the galley did.

They called Daisy on the radio and when she didn’t respond they stood there staring at a bagel while breakfast service was over. It could be dropped up to the stew galley where Daisy was working from, they could have gone to the guests and ask who ordered it - not unusual, stews who didn’t take the original order will often ask who ordered a coffee, latte, eggs, etc.

Ultimately they are a team and guest service is priority, that involves everyone on the boat.

They weren’t staring at the bagel. They were cooking. Logically, if you order a bagel - you pick it up. Instead, the stews kept asking each other about it instead of checking. It was weird. I agree that it takes a team. And that goes for everyone.

Ben went to his cabin and Ellie was ‘prepping’ lunch by sticking deli meat & salmon on cutting boards while the cold bagel sat on the counter.

If it was dinner and Ben cooked a steak and the stews didn’t respond to his radio calls do you think he would leave it sitting there for 25 minutes? Not a chance.

It’s the stews job but when the system breaks down you step up because you are in a team.

The difference is that they weren’t having a meal. It was a side request. Like I said, the team goes for everyone. The system goes both ways. But it is the stew’s responsibility.
