Bars always end up short of the glasses they need because of theft, especially if it's a nice glass, and the barmen end getting abused by customers for getting served in the wrong glass, picky pointless wankers. If they aren't short of a particular glass they'll probably say ok, unless you're a c**t about it. In my bar days as a student, we used to get told off for using the "wrong" glass for two reasons - one was in case a secret shopper came in from the brewery, and the other was in case you got accused of "passing off" one beer as another. It was a pain in the tits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Chlamydia Kid Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Peroni glasses never last any time when you take them. Far too easily knocked over with their shape which is too top heavy. Best one I’ve taken is a nice Carling one with the England badge on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a pain in the tits. I’ve always wondered at bar staff telling you they’ve got none of the requisite glass left and asking you if that’s alright. I mean sure I don’t wanna be seen as the kinda flange that drinks Carling, but aside from that WGAF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I’ve got a festive Tenants one which I knicked purely because I was lagging behind on a pub crawl. Still get to use it at Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flybhoy Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Nabbed this from the Ferryhill Tavern in Aberdeen before a Celtic game up there a few years ago. It's now shut I hear. Hope my tumbler thieving didnt play a part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope my tumbler thieving didnt play a part. I’ve got a few of them myself. Not taken from pubs, just from the Christmas gift sets. The honey fudge being a great delight on its own.

Myko Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Slightly off topic but a good wee story for a Monday lunchtime..... My mate was getting rid of furniture and he had half a dozen of those high kitchen stools that you would use at a breakfast bar. He put them in the front garden for a day or two before he could get a van to take everything to the recycling centre. He got a knock on the door one night, answered it and it was an Indian guy, asking how much he wanted for said seats. My mate said he didn't want anything for them as they were nearly done and he was just going to fire them in the dump. Indian guy took them and rode off in to the sunset. A few months later we went out for an Indian in Dunfermline, we were sitting at a table and the seats felt very familiar. Low and behold it was the old seats that the Indian guy took from my mate, all buffed up and painted luminous orange ! The guy came over, he was head waiter there, and after a few minutes of awkward conversation all was good and we left with half a dozen free bottles of Chang and bottle of wine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly? I think you need to look up the meaning of the word "slightly". And "good" whilst you're at it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Used to have a substantial collection, all pilfered from pubs I worked in at various points. Any time a new drink was launched with a promo glass, most of the staff would put one aside and take it home before release. Gave them away when I moved abroad. Haven't bothered starting a collection here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vikingTON Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Stealing glasses from The Norseman bar in Greenock is like restoring balance to the universe, as the useless, tight-fisted owner stole all his stock from establishments in the Greater Glasgow area anyway.

invergowrie arab Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 If anyone ever drank in the Shakespeare (shaky) in the hilltown they will no doubt recall the vessel roulette when ordering a drink. They didnt have two glasses the same in the place. I got a jd and coke in one of those smoked glass coffee mugs from the 80s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
