Entire Family Banned (long)

[Monterey Jack]

Sounds like he's pretty much alienated every other pub, I wonder how much longer before he gets ejected from the living room!

That's something -- as a non-drinker -- I've never really understood...if all you're going to do is bitch and moan about the service, prices, or whatever, why not just stay at home if you want to drink? Cheaper, and you don't have to worry about driving home no matter how shitfaced you get. Okay, I get the "socializing" aspect, but you can do that at home as well, and you don't have to yell over the other patrons/music just to hold a conversation.

Maybe his wife doesn't want him doing that either.

Need any more proof the banned don't ever understand why they're banned?

Sob story... followed by threats of litigation....

And no mention at all of being sorry.......

I believe these are the same type of people that bitch and moan at the cashier about the prices, service, etc. Unfortunately for them, something that clashes with the whole world view of, "I pay money, therefore I am their god!" happens when they pull this shit at a pub/bar. Unlike the poor cashier, there are plenty of law-induced reasons for management to back up the staff when the staff shows the ass the door!

F: I just want to give you a little bit of advice: Keep your nose clean. I've got an insider at the pub who is reporting EVERYTHING back to me. I'm taking all the evidence to my solicitor, and then I'm going to the newspaper. So don't do anything that will attract attention to yourselves.
Me: Right, OK.

My response to that would have been "Are you threatening me? Or my colleague? Because we would be happy to act as each other's witnesses when we report this to the police."

So what could his spy possibly find that he could use? There is such a thing as standing to sue.

I couldn't help but laugh at this story. I was just imagining the entire scenario in my head.

And hearing exactly how full of crap that family sounded like.
