I don't know what thread this goes in thread

Grazor just needs to go to France...

Pay some Albanian gangster €5K to jump on a dingy, cross the channel and the UK government will open their arms up....

Might even get a free house thrown in and a car....

I'm in a pretty good position.

I have a UK passport, an Irish EU passport and Australian permanent residency...

My Irish passport would almost get me a US Green Card too if I wanted. Which I don't!! Ha!
 


The reason this happens is because bar tenders became so shit not having an awareness of who was next and shit customers who would order ahead of those clearly before them.

At big Australian events they sometimes get the divider out for better service flow.

I understand the allure of a packed bar and the potential conversations that can be struck up amongst it (everyone on their phone now) but it's not enjoyable to have to shuffle around forever for what is now and overpriced drink.

... um matey I think you have misunderstood me. It normal to have the bar 2 deep, thats my point... I worked behind the jump in my 20s like lots of people and anyone with half a brain knew who had and hadn't been served... These kids now want no contact, wait your turn service, They wanna buy their non alcoholic craft beer at the pub, while looking at their phone screen the whole time, like they are lining up at the deli counter at Coles FFS...

Bartenders today have no brains and they don't care about who was next. They shouldn't be asked who was next rather glancing and taking note of shirt or hair colour and giving their immediate attention to that person once ready.

Last retail job I worked at unfortunately I had to learn to do the same - even though both our tills had a lotto terminal with it, the problem gamblers kept treating it like a bar and just walking up to the one closest to the front door trying to push in front of the line up of people

It certainly is a different world. Paying any consideration to your fellow person doesn't seem to be much of a priority these days.
 
Australia is shit with service.

Staff should go to the tables.

How is it viable having 50 cunts cramming a bar.

Table service doesn't solve the issue. Servers are blind these days and you have to wave to get served, order and the later the same process to pay.

At least going to the bar the transaction is complete.

In Europe it depends on the size and staffing of the business and there are plenty of good examples. German table service is hit and miss and usually woeful and time consuming.
 
I like the speed at which coffee in Italy is done. Order, stand, no nonsense. Not this German enter, be seated, wait for menu to be brought, they run away when you want to just order a coffee, order said coffee and wait ages for it to arrive, wave again to try to pay, bill needs printing and bringing. Sometimes at this stage they run away again so you can't immediately pay.

Our wages for staff in general are perfectly acceptable which means that we don't need the extra incentive of tipping like in America for example. Hence it's a bit of a lottery for service.

In europe tipping isnt a thing but people still come to your table and ask if you want a drink

I remember years ago I was in belgrade on holiday. Sunday night, I asked the guy

Me: what time do you close?
Him: That depends
Me: On what
Him: On when you want to leave

:ROFLMAO:

Obviously we stayed until 6am - wednesday,.

I know what you mean, the excuse felt feeble as soon as I typed it. People here just don't give a fuck because their clients don't give a fuck.

I've been drinking all over the world and the service is better.
