Normally, I can stand people filling my glass up. I get more grumpy with them taking away the "empties" when they are still 1 or 2% full.

My first occasion serving behind a bar was in a friend's place in Cowdenbeath at 17. Hearing the door being near battered down as we opened up at 1102 was bad enough. The wee guy who entered alone with his terrier seemed a relief until he made his order.

"Hawf an hawf laddie and make it quick I'm supposed tae be walkin' the dug!" he commanded.

"Sorry what was that?" I replied.

"A hawf an' hawf ya eejit!" he replied caustically.

So I poured a half of lager and passed it over.

"Whaur's the other hauf?"

"Eh?"

"Ma whisky!"

"Oh aye right." Bewildered by this point I pour him a Grouse.

Now he's smiling at me....fuc_k I've messed up here for sure.....

I tot up the bill.....but no its wrong of course.....there's a special deal for a half and half.....whatever that's supposed to be.....<deleted>....(anyone remeber placing a patent at the bookies?)

He's got 'premium' whisky for the price of a Grant's.

Aye I nicked the last 2% off him and kicked his dog as well.

None of us are perfect....

Alright I lied aboot the dug but if he'd had a cat....

If he'd had a cat he could have stayed at home inviting double entendres and not needed to go out getting cheated by thieving publicans

"Is there room for a wee whisky in that?

Well fill it up with beer then, son"

With a name like 'smokie' thought you would have been from somewhere further north up the coastline!!!!!!

When I used to work in a bar I also had the problem of people banging on the door at 11am. These were the most desperate, deprived people I have ever known - Golf caddies!!!

Im amazed that all are not able to, stop talking for a second only, turn the head and shake it, while giving a smile at the same time.

An operation which takes about 1 single second out of our lifes.

That's all one need (in 99% of the cases), to make the waitress not refilling all the time.

Practice infront of the mirror, and you will se it is quite easy.

:P

What a cutting edge topic to be posting at midnight. :unsure::ermm::coffee1:

I'm sorry that you got annoyed to the point that you actually had to reply to my topic. :)

Well you have made yourself out to be a bit of an idiot. I mean, who gives a shit, for chrissakes. As the say here som nam na.

Check your own topics. I loved the one "what oil should I use in my airfilter". What's next? Should I use the clutch when changing gears? And BTW, this post is in the "Funny Forum" ;)

Yes, but it would be a sin.

I have beer. She wants to sell me more beer. Nothing to get upset about...just politely decline each time until I'm ready.

Then the beer is topped up promptly.

Check the reverse where I have to wait 10 mins for another.

Now ask yourself....which type of service do you prefer?

Edited to confirm I have never knowingly drunk veer......

Did I wrote that I got upset? BTW, where in Thailand do you have to wait 10 minutes for a new beer? :unsure:

Please post the name of this establishment so we can avoid the place.

The Village Inn Koh Samui.

"ANOTHER one? But you've already had four!!"

Remarkably the bar is no longer in existence.....much to my chagrin.....maybe one day I'll write a sitcom about it....

In that case it should be deleted. :)
