"God no. Awful owner, staff treated really badly Exactly. He'll never see a penny of my cash in his pocket. Mr Same. Tim Martin is a awful, would always avoid giving him money." Think Wetherspoons have done a fantastic job on some of their renovations, taking derelict old building and turning them into places that are winning awards for building work. We are not regular users but half the time if we nip into a pub we would not be aware or even care who owns it, not that bothered. ![]() | |||

Would rather get my info first hand if possible, may do that next time in in one can you just see it. Hi, I was chatting to someone on a swingers site and he said the organisation treat you badly, any comment madam. If I worked in any place that treated me badly I use them for experience and while taking their pay would take my time looking for somewhere that did treat me fairly. ![]() | |||

"Worked as Door Steward in one for 2 years During my day job I went to a meeting in Swindon which was something I did quite often Agreed one night to meet with one of the girls from that office and her pal Yes they chose ‘Spoons I remember a fight broke out and I complained to my company that living and working in Glasgow I wasn’t used to this sort of behaviour Nice MFF I’m my hotel room later if memory serves me right " Was it the Savoy, the old cinema? It's must be the only pub we've been in that used to be a cinema! Nice to see old buildings used instead of being derelict ![]() | |||

Take it you are single. | |||

Anyway, seeing as you appear unable or unwilling to have a conversation without personal insults. I'll leave you to it. | |||

In your wildest dreams do you honestly believe someone would take that approach. You make us howl with laughter. Good luck to you, have fun, especially with Wetherspoons staff. ![]() | |||

"Do you research all the owners of all the businesses you part with your money to or just his ? Did he treat them like shit? Are you aware that 400 pubs closed for good last year ,his are still going so he must be doing something right . " Plenty of Weathespoons have closed too. And besides, a business being successful commercially doesn't mean the staff are treated well. | |||

Why is it "Snobbery and sanctimonious" not to want to give your money to a person who's business treats people like shit?" When you completed your in depth research did you find anyone employed by Wetherspoons who was contented and happy or do all staff resent working for them and grossly unhappy. I tend not to research pubs, shops, cafés, holiday resorts to see if their treatment of staff is up to scratch, haven't the time or inclination. Do you think it's the same for any business who's boss becomes a well known, God forbid, rich too, bit like Ryanair etc. We all love to hate em and will never, ever, ever use their product or service again. Well, unless I fancy a cheap pint in a nice, warm pub or a flight to warm climes cheaper than a taxi to the airport. Or is it a case of pure envy and wishing you too could be rich, successful, well known and have lots of ladies wanting to bounce on your bones without even trying. Just a thought. ![]() | |||

"When they first started, I liked them. Using old banks or similar, rather than wasting old buildings. Good beer at a cheap price because it was close to it's use by date. No big screens or loud bandits. Reasonable food at reasonable prices. They were just like an old fashioned "old man pub" which I liked. But a lot have morphed into something else. Big screen sports, rarely cleaned tables, poor quality food and mid morning clientele that I'd rather avoid. On top of that, LOTS of comments in various press from disgruntled staff* and Tim's horrendous Brexit stance. I will still use them, but they are no longer a top choice, more a needs must scenario. Luckily the closest to me now is well over a thousand miles away. Gbat * I know there must be happy staff that work for him, just like there must be unhappy staff that work for other pubs. Yet it seems that his unhappy staff are so unhappy that they reach out to the media, whereas say, Best Western Hotels Staff don't. " No. The media spend huge amounts of money on payments & social media to get stories from them. There are much much worse employers , follow the UK tribunals cases for the facts, not the made up news stories | |||
