customers complaint
i can see there might be a couple of posts like the above. this is how it is from the other side of the bar.

i work as a barmaid and one of the most frustrating aspects of the jobs is that the 100 or so people who visit the pub regularly expect you to have impeccably memorised what drink they have, what glass they have it in and how much head they prefer (no pun intended).

i have much better things to think about and if someone is there on a DAILY basis as they drink themselves into a semi-comatose state, then the words 'half a point of casssk' have probably been branded permanently into my brain, never to be removed. for the rest of the customers, if you have a specific preference, tell me! don't just stand there glaring at me. otherwise, i will pour the pint you asked for, into a branded glass and stick half an inch of foam on the top of it, the legal amount. (don't ask me how i know this... bar managers are pernickity people).

moreover!!! im sick of being whinged at by customers for things that are completely out of my hands. if we have run out of a particular drink then i cannot go down to the cellar and start brewing it myself.

'Ere, this beer tastes off, it's a bloody disgrace
"Yeah, sorry about that. It's 5 past 12 and you're the first customer of the day. We don't sell much ale on an evening, so chances are it's just been hanging around in the pipes. I'll pour you another. Is that better?"

"This is shocking, how dare you sell me an off pint, I want free beer and money and probably a go on your tits or something because I haven't seen any in at least 20 years"

"I've told you, Ican't help it, it just happens sometimes. This fresh, better tasting pint is all you're getting. Take it or fuck off.

"He's not here. I'm in charge. Now fuck off."
