Getting a beer...

how much is a pint this season ? Lager in my case.
we got in late and the queue at half time in 318 was ridiculous so I didn't get to see how much they're charging us this year
 
I don't buy a pint at half time anymore. I just cant bear it! Everytime, I feel as if I want to rip someone's head off, or just start sobbing.
 
Got there earlier than I normally would on Saturday and there was no queue so thought I'd play a little game with the geniuses behind the bar
Paid by card
Asked for a receipt
Oh, the carnage :)
 
I ordered a hot vimto and a hot chocolate at some point last season. I had to repeat the order as the lad behind the till didn't seem to know what was going on, he gave me 2 coffees instead.
 
I left two minutes before half time and got served straight away in CB3, no complaints from me. I like how they've kept the Strongbow dark fruit on since the summer concerts too.
 
It's all too nicey nicey now. orderly queues, they think they've got all the time in the world so just amble about. Bring back the half time scrum with everyone shouting their orders out. People work a lot faster under that sort of pressure .

Pre-pouring pints would help. It's shocking how many times you'll see huge queues and staff behind the bar stood their twiddling their thumbs wondering what to do. I said to them to pour a pint whilst they wait once and they said they aren't allowed until it's been ordered!
 
To be fair that was pretty good for the start of the season. They're normally far far worse than that.

Surely someone at the club realises that they Could double, treble maybe even quintuple income from food and drink if service was in anyway adequate?
 
SS3 had that many queing at half time it was actually a safety risk as nobody could move anywhere.

You would think the bars up there would be the best in the league as they could have learnt from the best of everywhere. It's was unbelievably slow yesterday.

Reasons

The vouchers clearly confused some of them.
They ran out of pies before kick off
They had no forks on game one.
They had no one just pouring drinks but all of them crowding around tills
They don't anticipate that people might want a drink at half time so don't have any ready.
They employ the biggest idiots known to man who can't seem to understand how to read a number on a till and turn that into change.
Too many people don't have cash.

It's shambolic to be honest and as SS3 seems to have the largest concentration of pissheads in the whole ground, makes it worse.
i,m sure your post wasn,t meant to be funny but i cracked up at "ran out of pies before kick off" and was crying with laughter by the end.
brilliant.and spot on.
 
It would help if they hired some bar staff with experience of actually working in a bar
