    I bought a pint and handed over a £10 note. The machine said £5.80 change and the guy behind the counter started gathering it together. He picked up a £5 note from the till, a few £1 coins, some silver and looked like he was struggling with both the types of the coins and the addition. I said to him that doesn't look right and he stopped and recounted it, put the surplus back and we got to the right money. Makes you wonder if they at least test them out first before they stick them on the tills ?

    Blimey. Sounds like a right donut. I would have let him crack on. And possibly even thrown in the classic ' didn't I give you a twenty?'
    That would be petty and I don't like taking advantage of people on minimum wage or not quite the full ticket.

    If you give somebody five quid for something costing four pounds twenty surely they should know in their head the change is eighty pence?
    Why is the machine allowed to overrule brainpower these days?

    Anyway, back to the thread, when I saw that mobile drinks trolley I thought at last somebody with a bit of sense has got their act together, then I noticed they'd shut the outlets down at one end. I guess not planning on serving food and drinks to fans was the reason they'd shut the ladies and gents toilets as well.

    they couldn't even handle a thousand people at the friendly so no surprise they weren't prepared for this. they have employed school leavers and haven't trained them to use the ticket computer system. joke club.

    If you got the club to do it, they would do it, by rolling a stone down it.

    In the East my brother asked for our beers to be replaced as they were completely flat, and the women behind the counter kissed her teeth at him.

    Going in to the family stand had a rucksack check and she put not one but two paper things on the handle like you get at an airport .
    She asked if I had any cans on me , like I'd say if I did , she sort of checked but I got sooo much shit in the bag with coats and food and drinks (I'm not buying in the ground ) she give up .

    More importantly, how many chips were there in each portion?

    I'd have demanded to speak to the manager.

    He did give her a few choice words. I know it's not the most glamorous job In the world but their attitude and customer service skills are severely lacking. Perhaps we shouldn't expect bubbles in a beer served in a plastic container costing £4.20.

    Why is the machine allowed to overrule brainpower these days?

    It's because bars are the biggest likely source of skimming. Liquids and cash sales are an unhappy combination in terms of cutting down on unwelcome practices.
    Whereas a machine will only try to rip you off for the actual price. It makes good sense for only the machine and not the staff to know how much stuff costs. They are then forced to ask the machine how much to charge by hitting the product button. It cuts down on losses from pilfering. And, in theory from punters being "overcharged" or getting the wrong change. They also have to operate the till rather than put the exact money straight in their pocket. It would be usual for a manger to have to authorise use of the "no sale" button, for example.

    The guy in the queue in front of me in the NU ordered an espresso and was shocked when they didn't have it. Must have been his first time.
