Even Conference Sunday is Day Off for Church Employees
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH -- While the Temple Square food service employees of
the LDS Church usually serve elaborate lunches to special guests of The
Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints between sessions of General
Conference, this past Sunday they had the day off. "What the general
authorities have asked us to do is allow our employees to have Sundays off,
as many as possible," said Spencer Herzog, vice president of food operations
for LDS Church-owned Hotel Temple Square Corp. "The integrity of what they
say is certainly what they practice." Instead the special guests got simple
box lunches, all prepared on Saturday. Other Sundays Herzog also tries to
use as few employees as possible, operating a skeleton crew at all the
restaurants and food services at The Inn at Temple Square. The Joseph Smith
Memorial Building is closed Sundays.
