"Some coaches have taken 27 drinks!"Wimbledon called for "use" allowance, don't waste food

[Global Times special reporter Li Jiayin] "Some coaches had taken away 27 cups of probiotic yogurt drinks at one time, in order to use his food allowance share that day." It is not uncommon, many players and coaches take food allowances as "targets", and the catering service department is difficult to meet the surging supply needs. To this end, the All -British Tennis Club sent an email to all contestants and coaches, calling on everyone to be more "wise" when using allowances.

The All -British Tennis Club stated in the email that this move is to avoid the occurrence of food shortage, not to reduce the cost of the event, because this part of the cost has been included in the budget. Wimbledon participating players can get a dining allowance of 90 pounds (about 727 yuan) per day for food and drinks at the restaurants designated by the event organizer, and the coaches can get about 45 pounds allowances. The corresponding amount will be deducted. They can complete consumption in 6 stores in the designated area, including 2 restaurants, 3 sandwiches and 2 coffee shops, so they do not have to prepare meals by themselves.

Wimbled Chief Chef Gary Parsons said in 2017: "Players will choose meals under the guidance of the coach. Some coaches will tell the players 'you need a lot of spinach, cucumber and radish', so we will provide a lot of Vegetable salad. "In the rest room that often appears in players, the organizers will also provide food such as salad and pasta.
