GinTreeS7 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 My hate list: - Unattended bars when I walk into a pub - I wait for 10 mins max and then walk out! - Poorly staffed bars - too few bar staff at busy times - I walk out! - Getting the wrong change - yes it does sometimes happen - Being poured a pint when I have specifically asked for a half - Getting an aghast surprise when I ask for a half and not a pint - Boozy/boring/mad/crazy people trying to strike up a conversation at me while sat at bar - Barmen taking 15 mins to make a cocktail while there is a beer queue - No time to drink up - No real ale choice on the menu - Overpriced drink just cos of a bars location or trendiness ... the list goes on.. its a wonder I go out at all !!

lil-minx92 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 Bar staff not taking notice of who's been waiting longest- just serving whoever is closest to them or waving the cash closest to their face. Managers should drill it into bar staff that part of their job is serving in an orderly fashion!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 You sound like a bundle of laughs. I'd suggest less drinking and taking up something to relax like yoga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 I'm pretty relaxed when I'm in the pub. The only time I left my local 'Spoons was having waited ten minutes and still not been served. I think it's one of the ways they're able to offer such great prices - they staff the bar slightly less than they could. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilge Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 - Pulling half a pint of cask ale into a pint glass then waiting 5 minutes before filling it up. You don't need to do that you fool. - Wiping side of glass with a napkin. No! Put it down on a beermat or drip tray. - Chatting to your mates at the bar rather than serving real live customers in the correct order. - etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alchresearch Posted October 4, 2018 Share Posted October 4, 2018 My pet hate is seeing someone who can't pull real ale and ending up with froth. Then they panic and just end up with cascading froth. Then they grab more glasses and pull several pints, hoping to eventually try and combine them all into one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(if you're sat at one that is ) Its good for food and soft drinks or any of their regular stuff, but doesn't include guest ales, sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
