Bottled water was £2 in the west.ForeverAddickted said:
Ouch!!... I purchased a Pepsi from the concourse today (£2.70) yet looked to see how much water was on the board in case I needed an extra drinkGreenie said:Was at the game today in the north lower day in the red hot sun.
Chatting to the bloke next to me, in the concourse they were charging £4 for a small bottle of water, the robbing fuckers.
That said £2 so thats disgusting if they were overcharging to benefit from what was going to be extra demand!!
It's been £2 last 3 times I've been.1 -

Probably not a general thing, but digging out our own players, especially the important ones.

Constantly checking online banking and email feeds to see if a non paying one is going to do as she's promised for the last 5 days and pay her bill. It's always the ones you go the extra miles for and who are worth the wedge, who ultimately let you down1

Paying for an UBER and the people who shared it not coughing up their part of the bill.0

Queing up in a packed Bartrams (Brentford game) and the clown
in front orders a pint of Fosters then plays by credit card, giving
the bar staff problems because the fu--ng machine is not working
correctly. I can understand a round of 4 or more paid by card, but
one drink come on mate!3 -
Card only is the way to go. Contactless should be much quicker all round.Silverdreammachine said:Queing up in a packed Bartrams (Brentford game) and the clown

Or he gives a £20 note and the bar staff are faffing around for change.2

I don't carry cash, wasn't me btw. But many don't now, it's so antiquated.
Having to have cash on me is an annoyance.6 -
Same here mate. The only downside for me is that I don’t have a few hundred quid in my change pot at the end of the year anymore.Dazzler21 said:I don't carry cash, wasn't me btw. But many don't now, it's so antiquated.

100% agree, even those who have run up a large tab seem to "forget" to tip when they pay with a card...

If the EFT Machine asks, I'll often click yes and chuck on 10% at restaurants, not sure I've ever done that in a bar, but they're a bit different. I don't tend to stay in them for more than a couple of drinks and usually pay for each one, or my whole round at a time.Algarveaddick said:Silverdreammachine said:Queing up in a packed Bartrams (Brentford game) and the clown

Going to a card only drinking establishment on one of the hottest days of the year only for the machines to go down leaving hundreds in the queue, in sweltering heat unable to buy a drink. And the bar staff scratching there heads because they can't accept any other form of payment.1

Tip? In a bar? Not in this country, I understand the custom on the continent where a waiter serves you but a bar where you are paying top dollar for average drinks never.Algarveaddick said:Silverdreammachine said:Queing up in a packed Bartrams (Brentford game) and the clown

It's 2019. Many places are card only these days & cash will become rarer and rarer.Silverdreammachine said:Queing up in a packed Bartrams (Brentford game) and the clown

Increasingly hear the expression, The Island of Ireland.
We all know Ireland is an island, the reunification of Ireland will suffice, there is no need for the additional information.1 -
Yes talking about table service here in Portugal, CK. Though the bar staff in the UK are not to blame for the price of drinks.charltonkeston said:

When your football bet is coming in and the other team get a last gasp equaliser (backed Millwall who were 2-0 up with 3 mins left)0

My personal rules if ever I put down an Acca
- Never bet on Charlton winning... They'll always fail!!
- Never bet on Palace or Millwall to win... Just doesnt feel right, I mean if your waiting on one of their games to win you £1,000 where its currently 0-0 and they get a last minute winner? No just no as would probably celebrate the goal!!1 -
Also some bars have a tips glass on the bar.charltonkeston said:

They do. I had this in mind when I wrote my previous post. I the pub that we use at work they have a glass for tips. Its in the British Museum area so I think the tourist will contribute. This pub sells some of the worst kept beer in England but I suppose they can get away with it with a non ale drinker. The tip they will ever get for me isn't money but advice on beer quality. I always try before I buy nowadays.iaitch said:

Another annoying one is where you get your change on a tray or dish, assume they expect you to leave something for them?
Same as you I leave nothing.0
