Pub Etiquette


Pretty much anywhere, not just the pub. Was at a fast food establishment on Monday, two adults and their sons (Rs going up for the parade), left two trays of leftovers on their table passing the bins on way out. Tbf wasn't just them.
Been away for a few days this week, the amount of times we've cleared a table before we sit down. Always lots of takeaway coffee cups, monster cans etc on grass verges. Just don't understand the mentality of doing that. There's nothing 'Great' about this country it doesn't feel, anymore

entitlement.

I'm alright Jack mentality.
 
I've noticed a decline in the civility of pub goers, is it my imagination ? I always take my glasses to the bar, let others before me be served, no feckin' queuing. Am I alone in doing this ? Any others ?
I've always taken my glasses back to the bar on leaving the place. Not often you get a thank you nowadays though, not in city centre pubs anyway.
 

I have argued for many years this was caused by attitudes generated during the period of the Thatcher govt in the 1980s, a noticeable decline in common courtesy and an increase in selfish behaviour..
it was always there, she just vocalised it. the 'upper crust' always spat on the 'underlings'. "we're all in it together". pig fancier in chief.
 
Always point out someone who was there before you at a crowded bar if the barman/maid tries to serve you before them. Take your empties back and put them at the end of the bar on your way out even if you have to detour from the nearest exit. If you sit at a vacated table with empties on it, move those glasses to the end of the table to make them easier for the glass collector to a) see b) collect, and thank them for collecting the glasses, they weren't your glasses but they've cleared the table you're sat at. And finally, never eat those things in the urinals that look like pineapple chunk boiled sweets. They don't taste like pineapple chunks.

Not after a couple of hours anyway.
