dave258 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 It's a group for barstaff complaining that they actually have to do some work. Quite fucking right as well Arsehole customers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Quite fucking right as well Arsehole customers. I've worked in bars a few times and I loved it. Of course you get arseholes, and they're worse than your standard arsehole because they're generally pished arseholes, but anyone who isn't expecting that and complains about it is a bit dim. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I might start a Facebook group called "Stop having an over-inflated opinion of yourself, you're only a City barman in Falkirk, after all". EDIT: This isn't aimed at Gav - don't think I've ever been served by him at all - but some of the barmaids / barmen in City and Sportsters are total c***s who think they're in Coyote Ugly.

Fudge Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 If barstaff served people in an sequence vaguely resembling the order in which they went to the bar then their would be no problems. I've no doubt that with so many people coming and going that it's hard to do, but never the less, punters have no faith in being served when they should be so resort to the tactics described on the website. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 In the event that the barstaff cannot tell who was at the bar first, it's their right to pick the person acting the least like a dick. Anyway, the one that started that facebook group was claiming that they know who was at the bar first and who needs served first. Fine, if they're working in an old man's pub, but once it starts getting busy and it's three deep, you've no way of knowing, so it's really a nonsense statement to make. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn straight. It's always bemused me how every single shop in Britain has a queue system apart from in pubs. Now, pubs don't really need a queue system if you pop in for an afternoon pint when there's about three other folk in the whole place (including the staff), but Sportsters or Wetherspoons in Falkirk are free-for-alls on a Friday and Saturday night. Facebook Group - Don’t ever say IM NEXT. I know who is NEXT it’s my job to know who is NEXT! You have just walked to the bar can you not see 10 people to your left and 10 to your right that were before you? Er, no, love, you don't, and that part about twenty folk to my left/right who were there first is a load of made-up sanctimonious bollocks.

Oh aye, if people are acting like dicks I'd probably make them wait a bit myself. But ironically it's folk who stand and wait pleasantly and patiently who wait the longest, as other folk will push in and the barmaids / barmen will just ignore them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're harder to see, that's why. If you look out for them though, you'll get them.I'm a girl anyway. I just show cleavage and look out for male barstaff. It's easy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave258 Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 First time you buy a drink, give the lassie/guy behind the bar a £1 tip. You'll barely have to wait for a drink the rest of the night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 At the nearest night-club one of the newer bar staff just serves on a clockwise basis around the bar. Which makes it very easy to just skip past quite a lot of people to her next stop in the circle. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted March 17, 2010 Author Share Posted March 17, 2010 For about 8 months after my socks have been through the washing machine, I've just piled them in neat pairs. When at home, mum always put them into those wee bundles but I never knew how to do it and was ashamed to ask anyone. Step forward Dot from Eastenders showing it in a masterclass moment of laundrette rage and I can now put my socks into the wee balls. You have no idea how much inane satisfaction this gives me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fudge Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 For the first time in 3 years I calculated exactly how much money I actually have. It's about what I though it would be. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
