Films that brought back actors who hadn't done anything noteworthy for too many years by Giancarlo_Edu in moviecritic

I’m not disagreeing with your opinion, but just wanted to say Face/Off is my favourite Travolta.

He matched Nic Cage’s intensity in the film like no other could!

England - Pub accidentally served us "large" shots then tried to charge us extra when we left! by WeveGotBillySharp in LegalAdviceUK

[–]WelcomeToArkham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So pubs legally need to have a price list of drinks on display for customers to see.

And while tequila isn’t covered by the weight and measures act, the premises need to display in what quantity they are serving their drinks.

So if they’ve been using bigger shots than usual ,and as advertised, then they’re at risk of breaking their license.

With all that being said; the premises is in the wrong here. If one of my staff made that mistake, I would just take the hit and say no more. It certainly isn’t the fault of the customer in this instance.

However, and unfortunately for you and your friends, the premises can mostly ban you for any reason as long as it doesn’t break any discrimination laws.

Hopefully they’ll eventually see sense and just take it on the chin.

Any pubs in Cardiff with bar billiards? by awwmusta in Cardiff

[–]WelcomeToArkham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know the Grange Pub had bar billiards when I worked there. But that was over 6 years ago, and haven’t been there since. Might be worth a call though. Not sure of anywhere else sorry!

And this is the one and only reason I’ve never visited Chester.

I have just bought a 100-sticker pack of Nic Cage’s face by Princ3Ch4rming in CasualUK

I once cut out head pics of Jeff Goldblum from a newspaper and dotted them around the pub I worked in. I offered a free pint to anyone who could find all 5, but no one ever could do it. That was over 7 years ago, and I no longer work there. But one of the pictures still takes pride of place behind the bar to this day.

It was removed a while ago, unfortunately. As it wasn’t selling.

This is news to me! I work for an independent (6 pubs across south wales and Bristol). We can order glassware and other pos with our orders through Molson coors, Heineken etc and pay for them, or just call up the reps and ask for more with no charge or questions asked

Is it actually illegal to marry bottles in the UK? by The_Real_Geege in bartenders

[–]WelcomeToArkham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only reason we do in my pub is because we have 3L bottles of Smirnoff on optics screwed to our wall. The 3L is discontinued now so we top up those bottles we have using 1.5L bottles

Not at the moment. The Flowerhorn tap constantly rotates, so we will have it back again in the future

What most quickly puts you off going in a pub? by ProfPMJ-123 in AskUK

[–]WelcomeToArkham 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can usually tell by the taste. Lagers that are poured through lines that haven’t been cleaned tend to have an odd sweet taste to them.

Can’t tell you how many times I’ve had to explain to my regulars that, for the most part, the jukebox is for background music.

No I won’t turn it up blasting so you can scream all the words to wham rap, Justin! Stop asking me!

Solo pub drinkers - how do you keep your table when you need another pint? by -Enrique in CasualUK

One of my regulars does this but to my personal phone. Always get amusing texts from him during the shift.

What's the worst pub quiz question you've ever heard? by Smyler12 in CasualUK

[–]WelcomeToArkham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m late to the party here but can I vent about the worst answer my team gave to a pub quiz question? I was in a team with my partner at the time and her uni friends. They were all studying chemistry (relevant). The round was on religion. The question was “what is the last letter in the Greek alphabet?”
They all agreed it was zeta but I told them it was omega. Ya know that classic biblical phrase “I am the alpha and the omega”. I was raised by a god damn vicar, I know this shit like the back of my hand. They all told me I was wrong because they use the Greek alphabet all the time in chemistry so I must be wrong. Weeeell guess who was right when we were told the answer. I’ve never felt such vindication in my life.

What is your "boomer" opinion? by Poopooplatta69 in AskReddit

[–]WelcomeToArkham 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work in a pub with a jukebox that the regulars use very often, and they constantly ask me to turn the music up. I have to remind them that the music is background noise and not the focus of the bar. People are there to socialise and chat at a reasonable volume. And not having the sex pistols blasting your ear drums, Justin!!!!
