Queueing at the bar in a pub.
This business of single file queueing at the bar in pubs is starting to piss me off.
I walked out of one pub last weekend because of a single line queue backing out the door and today my local Spoons was doing it where the bar is massive but they queued at a single point. I wasn't doing that so I waited further along the bar where I knew my place and respected where I was in the serving queue. Then some young lady shouted at me saying there's a queue here. I said nothing but YES I know there's a queue and know my place, I've been drinking in pubs for nearly 40 years but what on earth is this business with single file queuing?
Next thing we know pubs in the future will have their bar shortened to single file Post Office counter style and bars will become obsolete. Sad times ahead but cheers to you all for reading this rant. 🍻
