Only thing worse is 6 people lining up and then all ordering their own drinks. Buy a round !!!

Might need a whole new thread for driving gear grinders, but people who don’t signal and stray out of their lane deserve uppercuts.
Also those people who are in the left lane to make a left turn and just before they make the turn swing into the right hand lane for no reason.
This, but they are all ordering a different cocktail.
went to the bar with a group of my staff on our xmas party and they were about to do exactly this. Told them to just all order coffee martinis. Best decision ever…
Meanwhile the other bar staff can’t get to anyone to take an order. Special place in hell for these people,
And they all think you’re a cock!
About this time last year my wife’s nephew wanted to go out for his first legal drink at lunch on his birthday and asked me to go with him.
We went to a waterfront bar in Mandurah (basically Perth’s version of Gosford) as his choice and we just scraped in for their lunch time drink special.
I offered to buy him whatever he wanted and he chose an espresso martini.
There were a group of about 6 similar aged girls ahead of us ordering at the other bartender. They all ordered the same thing.
I bought a pint for myself and his brother that was a couple of years older and paid for his cocktail then told him he had to wait at the bar for his drink to be ready.
About 40 minutes later…his brother and I were 3 beers in and he was still waiting at the bar.
He learned his lesson and switched to beer.
I then explained if it was anywhere within the last 30mins of happy hour and he ordered a cocktail fully expect some old mate to punch him in the back of the head.
Especially in Mandurah, that’s just asking for it.
This same customer would also be the person who thinks that the bar staff are incapable of remembering 6 drinks at once so orders them one by one.
They’re also the person who when ordering their food has no idea how they want their steak cooked and are unaware what sides are available.
Or doesn’t know they require money or a card to pay for said drinks and then has to rummage in their pocket/bag to find the cash/phone/card
So when are we starting our own commune?
Seriously struggling with the amount of dumb fuckery that has been highlighted in the last dozen posts.
Especially the rummaging around bit - you’ve gone somewhere with the specific purpose of buying something, and you aren’t ready to fucking buy it? Aarhghhhh
On this theme, and I suspect it may be a hangover from COVID, people forming single file lines to order at a bar.
It’s gotten so bad at one of my locals they’ve installed a large sign to basically say walk up to the bar if there is space, otherwise someone else will and we will absolutely serve them first.
no, they all understood the logic and enjoyed the drinks… they then subsequently went through all the cocktails on the list, one at time…
This, god this! How the fuck can someone wait in line, order drinks, wait for the drinks to be made, wait for the bar staff to ring up the drinks and THEN rummage through their wallet/purse for their fucking card. Whenever I pay, I either have the card ready and loose in my pocket, or have my phone wallet ready to go and unlocked so it’s a simple tap
Even worse is when, after ringing up the items the person is purchasing, they then proceed to tell you to “just hang on a minute, I need to transfer money”.
Did it not occur to you that maybe you should have done this before holding everyone else up?
Also, where the hell are they transferring this money from? What’s the point of having a savings account if you’re routinely going to dip into it for discretionary spending.
I guess the longer you hold it in savings the more interest you make.
Alternatively just bank with somewhere like macquarie where you get a good interest rate even on your daily access account.
But agreed, be prepared - have cash in your account!!!
I’ve always assumed that this was one of those ways in which people control what they spend. If they have to transfer it over each time, it becomes less convenient for them and allows them to budget easily, rather than just having a big supply of money in your bank account.
Can’t remember last time I used an ATM - but it was always bonkers how people would stand in line and then not look for their card in the handbag or whatever until they were standing at the machine
Also another one - People who order a round, bartender is pouring the 4 pints of lager first asks if they need anything else and then they order the Guinness.
