Once you suss it out it is easy and quick. Don't know if all other Nando's are the same as I have only been in that one. Was it a cheeky one? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a separate pttgoyn, our reliance on mobile phones for everything Had to use it at Edinburgh airport and it was so fucking slow to load. Frustrating when my dad is saying "The bar's just there son, why don't you just order there?" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My camera doesn't pick them up and I tried downloading an app. I'm much the same as you and prefer human interaction. Everyone does, but for some reason we've been sleep walking into this dystopian level of service. It's the same as the poster that said phoning your broadband provider every 18 months pretending to leave. Everything is shit 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's right I'll fling you an extra 15% despite doing all the work myself. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another quick one When you're checking in now at the airport it's all automated, you have to put the destination sticker on your own case. Im now doing the job of someone you sacked yet my ticket is more expensive. Ah, capitalism 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A restuarant I was at with the missus in Newcastle added a service charge of 15% then when I came to pay by card on the machine it asked if I wanted to leave a tip. F**king chancers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read that as babestations My pttgoyn about that industry is the casual change of the words betting, gambling or spending to "playing" in their marketing. " Play £10 and get xxx free spins !!!" " Play hard or play for fun, play your own way! " F*cking scumbags probably used to be the guys that marketed cigarettes as a luxury product or alcohol as a personality enhancer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye that's right I'll fling you an extra 15% despite doing all the work myself. Had that recently with my car insurance when I changed vehicle. Entered the new car details in my 'personal online portal', it calculated my new price which I was happy with so clicked proceed. 'Before proceeding please confirm you are happy to pay your updated price plus our standard £15 admin fee'. Fckng admin fee? I've just done it all myself ffs, no other human interaction or work needed ffs!! Dirty, chancing, robbing bassas!! (According to their blurb this is actually a fantastic saving, because if you choose not to do all the work for them online and phone up to speak to an actual person the admin fee then jumps to £25. And they wonder why everyone is going tonto about extortionate increases to their policy prices this year). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soapy FFC Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 The B&Q website. You search for something and it returns hundreds of results, but once you start looking 99% of the items are not available in store, only online (i.e. from their 'marketplace'). When I look for stuff on B&Q I'm only interested in stuff that I can pop into my local branch and get, and normally immediately rather than tomorrow or the next day. If I'm looking for marketplace stuff I'll go to Amazon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnderooMFC Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 As a conclusion to the virginmedia issues - not changing. I got an email saying if I renew now then my new contract would be £72. That's £5 cheaper than before and £30 cheaper than what the standard agent wanted me to renew at. Still includes Sky Movies which I wasn't too bothered about but a plus, and I didn't even need to phone retentions - another plus. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An app doesn't turn up the second i've stuck o forkfull of steak in my mouth to ask if everything's alright with your meal sir and the self service till doesn't throw tins of beans at my eggs.

The Moonster Posted May 13 Share Posted May 13 Sitting in a pub and having lovely cold pints brought to you without moving an inch is tremendous. No waiting at the bar for the p***k in front of you to order 8 cocktails, no groups of wee fannies all paying for a WKD separately, just beautiful hops brought straight to your table with no hassle. A strange thing to be against, IMHO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A strange thing to be against, IMHO. I used to be that guy in the pub that ordered online when the bar was heaving and laughing at the the poor sods at the bar. I get on good with the folk that work there and laughed when questioned why I do such a heinous crime and let on I just enjoy flirting with *(insert one of two waitresses names here)*. The manager called me a fud and made sure he or one of the male bar staff would deliver my pots from there on out. I won the battle, the manager won the war. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
