Been in a few times since new COVID rules and procedures - Mask on, QR login at the door using NHS app. Then find a free table (one without the ‘Reserved’ signs on), and use the Breakspear app to order at the table. This visit...I get told at the free table “Don’t just sit down, check with me first!” I shake my head and suggest “a new thing, and I understand the COVID rules”. Manager thinks I’m trying to argue, I’m trying to work out what I’ve done wrong.
Order 2nd drink on the app… 10 minutes later after no drink delivered I approach the bar and query, to be told “Are you sure you’ve ordered?” Well the app confirmed the order and I got an email, so yes I’m sure. “Don’t get attitude with me!” I get told by the manager.
Definitely #firstworldproblems and, I really miss old pubs without apps, and being able to order at the bar, face to face like normal human beings.More
