After the thread elsewhere on the etiquette of filling your car with petrol, I wondered if a "pub etiquette" thread would work
To start ..
Yesterday, in the pub and quite busy.
Three of us waiting to be served, and a middle aged gentleman walks in, and as the girl finishes serving, demand a pint, and she is about serve.
This is one of my pet hates.... so I apologised to the bar maid, and said, " I know you are busy and it is difficult to keep track, but the guy on the corner, the lady to my right and then myself have been wait, this guy has just pushed in"
Bar maid was fine, but middle aged guy started throwing a tantrum, about being "in a hurry" and "unable to wait"
TOUGH!
It is common etiquette to be aware of who is before you before you and if the bar staff make a mistake and serve you first, refer them to the other person(s) waiting
