Pub landlords to be turned into ‘banter police’ under reforms to workers’ rights

I worked a lot of pubs in the 1980s and saw plenty of landlords/landladies refusing to put up with that stuff from customers. It’s nothing new really.

So, in that situation - no  legislation is needed, said landlord/landladies/managers can deal with it?

And you can probably bet the bar will be set too low.

They can. And they should.

 

Some won’t though. That’s where the legislation becomes important.

I tend to avoid Hillsborough like the Plague when Wednesday are at Home, but I know most of the local pubs down there have signs saying "NO away fans allowed in on match days"

My bold.

But on the plus side that would be very popular with any dwarfs/little people who frequent the establishment.

Even by your standards that joke was terrible.

Verbal harrasment of staff is not "banter".

True, but how much of it actually goes on  - even in France?
