Like really, really annoys me.
When you walk into the megahole for a quick binge drinking session - usually in the afternoon or early evening - and you line up at the bar fanging for a drink and there's only one person serving, despite the fact that there are at least five people waiting to be served.
That would be okay if there was only one member of staff around. I mean I'm not THAT impatient. But then when you look down the bit behind the bar where the pokie area is and there are at least three other staff members milling around, usually chatting to each other or wiping ineffectually at a bit of the bench.
I mean for fuck's sake, GET IN THERE AND SERVE THE ALCOS!! And if they're not 'allowed' to pour drinks yet, MANAGEMENT SHOULD LET THEM!! How hard is it to pour a glass of wine??
When I worked in customer service many, many moons ago (at university, famous newsagency slash bookshop in Manly that is the biggest newsagency in the Southern Hemisphere) I was always told IF THE REGISTERS ARE BUSY, DROP EVERYTHING AND SERVE CUSTOMERS!! THEY ARE THE ONES WHO ARE PAYING YOUR WAGES!! SURPRISE SURPRISE, IF CUSTOMERS STOP COMING YOU WON'T HAVE A JOB!!
Yes I am turning into a cranky, unreasonable bitch in my old age and I am quite aware that publicising my impatience on the Internet in this manner will no doubt result in me receiving even slower service.
P.S. State Of Origin tomorrow!! I am going to the second game at Telstra Stadium in two weeks. Can't wait!!

I agree, the service at the moment is appalling... I've taken to bringing my own hip flask to keep me occupied while I'm waiting at the bar...
The other thing is the TAB. Some of them don't realise that when a customer is waiting at the TAB you kind of have to give priority to them... because the horses don't wait while blondie at the Cremorne Hotel finishes pouring a drink and falling out of her bra at the counter.
It annoys me when there are people lined up at the TAB machine trying to get bets on and all the staff are flirting with each other around the back.
Is anyone else terrified of sobering up while you're waiting for service?
That would be like all my worst nightmares come true.
Hence the importance of the "emergency sobriety-prevention kit"... this contains a (full) hip flask, a small bottle of amyl nitrate and a joint laced with Valium...
Ah yes. Good ol' amyl nitrate. Sure to induce a major headache and spewing session the next day (for me, at least).
I remember the first time I had it. Actually it was at the hole, upstairs in the days when you could smoke up there... some sleazy customer whisked me into the men's toilets and shoved a bottle up my nose.
I ain't been quite right ever since.
Mm i love Tabitha the hot blonde she lives up the road from me :D
Yes, she does have a gravity-defying rack.
She is also dating one of the bar guys too!!
Actually they pretty much all look the same to me, barmen and bargirls.
I only know her because of her rack. It's mesmerising.
Her father drinks there too. I wonder how he feels about the blokes ogling her chest?
It doesn't seem to bother him as he himself is a pervert.
I made the mistake of talking to him once which he saw as a come on and asked if he could take me for dinner. When I declined, he than asked if I would go to breakfast with him!!
Hm. Her father has never hit on me.
In fact no men have hit on me in the past year or so.
I truly must be getting old and ugly. Goddamn.
