I usually only drink in a couple of local pubs but happened to find myself in a trendy pub in Southgate this weekend, don’t ask.
There was a queue, yes madam that is what I said, queue, to the ramp to order. I have never seen anything like it in my life. I noticed it, walked past it, caught mine hosts eye and was served in no time in the usual way.
Is this the New Jerusalem? Is this what we fought and trounced the Hun for, not once but twice? What does TWTD make of this shocking phenomena? |  |

Determining the order in which customers are served is the responsibility of the bar staff.
No good will come of customers taking the law into their own hands in this way. |  |

I can remember staying at a holiday park about 10 years ago.
The bar staff were getting pretty annoyed that people weren’t just coming to the bar in the usual way. |  |

On matchdays, people always form a queue in the Greyhound, whose service is second to none anyway. |  | | |

….bet they all had beards, check shirts, waistcoats, skinny jeans, no socks and probably bow ties.
All queuing up for a half of Cosmo Kumquat Imperial Stout brewed by some nerd in his Mum’s downstairs bog. |  |

The nonsense has spread over here. The miserable git of a landlord at my local put up a sign a couple years back saying “line starts here for service” and loudly makes it clear that he won’t serve anyone who’s not officially waiting in the line.
I don’t love it but given the number of people who sit at the bar and never move, it’s not the worst idea. |  |

The world has gone mad if people are queueing in pubs. Any decent boozer operates a free for all scrummage at the bar. [Post edited 22 Sep 19:41]

I must admit that as I get older it's harder to catch the eye of a busty barmaid. And if I was to say to "have one yourself" I'd probably be on a list with Russell Brand. | |

If you lifted your gaze from said barmaid's décolletage it may help.

it is, but alot of bar staff arent trained, taught or bother to learn the skill, after all its just pushing buttons on a till and pulling a tap innit.
and even when they are decent staff, we seem to be seeing alot of infrequent visitors to the pub who dont know pub etiquette, so instead of it just being an annoyance at Christmas time, its spreading to the rest of the year.
I dont queue to get in a pub, and certainly dont queue in the pub, except maybe to use the lav. |  | | |

Best thing (only?!) about COVID was ordering a pint to your table on an app - so civilised.
What with that being scrapped and dragging everyone back to the office, we’ve regressed! | | | |

The last time I went into Isaacs (is there a pub in the world with more bars) was before Sarmiento did that thing against Southampton - walked up to purchase a refreshing beverage, and was told by some poor kid in an ill-fitting polo shirt, that there was a queue. Indeed, a line of gloomy blue shirts disappeared into yonder gloom.
I think I may have sworn and stomped off; pretty sure Aidan Coughlan will cope without my custom.
Queueing at bars is the worst thing to happen to the UK in the last 200 years. |  | | |
