Ignorance really pisses me off,

I deal with people all day long and it really pissed me off sometimes when you don't get a please or a thank you, or they are in a round and order one drink at a time then disappear off to see what someone is drinking, especially when we are really busy

Rant over

More inconsiderate really. I get it all the time in my job but there are many that make up for the inconsiderate ones.

STOTFOLD

Not everyone can be decisive and remember or know what people want to drink ,especially if they've already had a few, flip it and someone comes to the bar and shouts out a string of drinks while they remember what's wanted and bar staff say hold on or wait a minute as they cant remember or put the order in till etc who's being ignorant? Insensitive maybe I think more a case of just having a night out and paying for you to give them what they order and it may take a bit longer but as the saying goes "its a service industry"

And yes I have my own businesses and am in the service industry just not pubs

after 30 plus years in this job, it's not that difficult to remember a round of five or 6 drinks, we do a lot of cocktails which can at times be time consuming, however mixing three at a time is no problem, it's when they order one, you make it, they order another take the first one back to the group, you make it wait for him to come back, they order another takes the second and so on, you have now spent 10 to 15 minutes serving one customer, yes he is paying for the drinks, but sadly I am not someone's personal barman

As a flight attendant I get that too. Someone asks for a drink, I go back and they ask for another, I go back and the person next to them now wants one. It’s part of the job unfortunately. x

Slough Windsor ish

We've just got in from a night at a casino where to bar staff were utter pish. Rude, slow, clearly in the wrong jobs.

I went to the bar where there were 4 staff. It was busy but hardly overrun, Ive been in busier pubs. It came to my turn; "NEXT?!" the barmaid barks... she's a pretty but stern faced woman of about 30 ish.

"Oooh yes, thats me, thank you..." I smile and ask "could I have 2 largers a gin and tonic, 1 pint of Guinness and a lime and soda please?"

"Bottle or draft?" Miss grumpy barmaid asks

"Oh sorry, yes draft please"

"Pint or half"

(Do people still order halves?) "Pints please" im trying to make eye contact, she looks bored out of her brains. She pours the pints and plonks them on the bar. "I think Id better have a tray if you have one please?" Again I smile at her. She audibly sighs and reaches under the bar and plonks the tray down in front of me. By now Im thinking somebody must be having a really shit night. I put the pints on the tray as she goes to the optics (she's already set the guinness to settle mid pint) but she's at the vodka bottle..."Oh no, sorry, it was gin and tonic I ordered"

Again an audible huff. Plonks the gin and tonic on the bar, next to the tray. Pours a lime and soda, again that goes beside the tray.

She goes to the till... "£23.80 cash or card?"

I paid and left with the drinks wondering why on earth she was doing a job she was so unsuited for.

Not a single smile, moment of eye contact, pleasantry, shred of basic manners, no customer service skills... downright bloody ignorant!

I’ve been in my job for 21 years today, I still love it. I think 6 nights in St Lucia helps sometimes. Not looking forward to working home tomorrow night but I will be all smiles for 8 hours.

We had a fab evening thank you, apart from the staff... we had already given up waiting for the table service staff! The food was a bit meh but we had a laugh. We had to come away before our party moved onto the casino bit, id imagine they will be there way into the see small hours but Cheffyhas RFU work tomorrow early morning. Not sure Id bother going back there... apart from our party the other punters were dressed very casual. Shorts and flip flops casual

Its was a bit like a big arcade at the seaside with a couple of roulette, black jack and poker tables.

We had a private room for our function and all at that wore black tie, evening dress or very dressy.

It was just the rest of the punters using the casino looked a bit casual.

What you state is just part of the job. Yes, it's annoying, a right pain in the butt, yet you just have to rise above it.

Unfortunately, it’s one of the hazards of the job and I understand. I work at a petrol station and whilst most customers are polite and courteous, there are a few that treat staff like dirt. They tend not to speak and just throw the money at you; expect you to accept them jumping the queue, or take their money whilst serving someone else; expect you to answer their question, or expect help when serving someone and they’re just walked in; not to mention the times I’ve tried to apply health and safety on the forecourt, i.e. asking them to stop smoking...However, these are only the minority and I kill them with kindness.

I hate it when I am in a queue in a shop or anywhere else and a person in front is talking on their phone whilst the assistant is serving them. It's so bloody rude to the person serving them. They should just get off the phone and ring back later or stand aside and finish the conversation. A bit of respect for sales person goes a long way xxx

Have it all the time at work, people expecting me to take their food order whilst their talking on their phones. Seriously? No chance, I walk past the table multiple times, if I hear them tell whoever they're talking to that they'll call them back or to hang on I'll stop, other than that nooooo. I can see them looking at me but I refuse to go over. Once their finished I'll go right over, but I do make it known the reason for my delay

"Hiya darl, I didn't want to interrupt your call"

"I hate it when I am in a queue in a shop or anywhere else and a person in front is talking on their phone whilst the assistant is serving them. It's so bloody rude to the person serving them. They should just get off the phone and ring back later or stand aside and finish the conversation. A bit of respect for sales person goes a long way xxx

Common courtesy goes a long way, even when i go out to a pub, I will always collect a few empties on the way back to the bar (force of habit), and the amount of times I have received that omg I don't believe he just did that look is amazing, and I always get a thank you from the bar staff
