A campaign group has been started in the UK, to stop them queing single file.Couldn't make it up, they are an alien breed I swear.
>>20941314>no not like that reeeee that's not how you do it reeeeeeee I'm gonna start a petition reeeeeeeeeee
>>20941314M8 they're britbongs. They queue up for everything.
>>20941326You are very, very dumb. >>20941314Admittedly, it's a better system, even if unwieldy. No need to vie for the bartender's attention since s/he knows precisely who's next.
when are we going to shorten it to "que"
>>20941339When your culture stops fellating the French.
But bartenders are rude standoffish cunts and only serve people one at a time anyway.>omg stop standing around you're making me nervous, I'M THE BOSS AROUND HERE, sit down and twiddle your thumbs awkwardly until i deign to acknowledge your existence (or don't)
>>20941314>Zoomers don't know how to order drinks.I've seen this but I just go straight to the bar, like I normally do and get served, I'm not sure if it's a leftover from the Covid thing.

What's wrong with queueing if the bar is occupied?Isn't that the civilized way of well mannered people to do it? I feel like if they instead rushed the bar in a heap people would complain about them having no manners.They just can't win.
Weird this is happening in the UK, where queue culture reigns supreme. Doubly so because in a country like the US where there's a strong tipping culture, it makes sense for the bartender to have everyone spread out instead of in a line, that way they can first serve whoever is the best tipper. But as far as I know, people don't tip in the UK, especially not in pubs.
>>20941476Ex moonlighting UK barman here. Had the odd "keep the change" and possibly one per night "and one for yourself". No actual designated tips. But I was always first come first serve. If I knew someone, I may pour them the pint at the same time I was pouring another one if it was a different pump and they'd leave the money or I'd sort it out for them later.
>>20941369>the grandpa cries out in pain as he strikes you
>>20941399>mad that I practice polygamySorry anon, are you having trouble finding bitches?
>>20941609>he's 'playing' dumbA recurring theme among millenials.
>>20941314Older bong millennial reporting in. I'm ambivalent about pub queuing. It used to be that bar staff served people in the order they approached the bar so I could relax at the bar and watch the footy, knowing the bar staff would call for me when it was my turn. These days, the bar staff seem to not even register who came in what order and just serve the standoffish manlets leaning over the bar making aggressive eye contact and waving their tenner or the slags flashing their cleavage. I find, when I'm relaxed while waiting at the bar, the bar staff would serve me after a long wait.This lack of attention to order of arrival is worse the younger the bar staff is. If you want to get your pint in the proper order, it wiuld be much less stressful to queue up. Just another symptom of the breakdown in social cohesion.
>>20941332The one place you don't queue in the UK is the pub, this is because there is an unspoken etiquette; if you are there after somebody else you let them order first
>>20941655>bartenders get overwhelmed when there's too many people ordering at the bar>THE WEST HAS FALLENlmao calm down incel
>>20941314They can't queue at a pub, they can't use a computer, they can't start a conversation, they can't socialize, they can't cook at home, wtf can they do. Honestly Zoomers are the greatest failure of their parents.
>queueIt's a line you retards they are waiting on a line
>>20941339>five letters is too much to type for anon
It's not the queuing that's wierd. Pub "queues" are just moping around the bar until you get spotted Its the obsession with needing to do it in a straight line that wastes more space somehow.
>>20941314Based zoomers doing it the japanese (aka civilized society) way.
>>20941797So even if there is just one bartender they should form multiple queues?But that could lead to the bartender only serving the queue next to him and the other ones standing around. I get why they tend to therefore keep a single queue. But maybe they could bend the queue to not reach that far back into the room?
>>20941797zoomers are deathly afraid of social contact not done through a smartphone, and doing ANYTHING for themselves.getting a bartenders attention to order a drink requires a social interaction that they have to initiate, or at least engage in without someone holding their handthey are intimidated and scared shitless about holding a hand up and getting someone's attention
>>20941416>10+ year old common knowledge requires firsthand insight
>>20941842Anon doesn't know what it means and neither do I so it's not common knowledge, Natalie. The fact that you think it's "common knowledge" is quite the shibboleth, proving that you are, in fact, part of the Alphabet Brigade.Good job outing yourself, faggot.

Does everyone just crowd around the bar yelling and waving money around in your barbaric shithole? In civilized countries, you make a line. This is nothing new

>>20942152We all know your desperation for physical affection is far past the point of having standards
How is the normal way better? Barkeeper easily loses who was in the group that slammed the bar first and arbitrarily starts serving whoever they feel like. This riles people up and makes people shout, wave and slam money on the counter to shit the mood up.
>>20941767What has your biggest achievement been then
>>20941399>invented BLMWell excuse us for wanting to look after our national parks
>>20942201To say the least all the aforementioned above well in my teens. Zoomers have been sabotaged by their parents in becoming the weakest generational link.
>>20941655thisI've seen xoomer former hospos faces crease up with rage at minor faux pas and thought "calm down m8", but service is getting worse and worse to the point where it boils my piss and it's not something I'm autistic abouti'd chalk it up to being in a tourist town and constantly dealing with useless fucking nepalese (very creative people when it comes to laziness) but then it happened at a well regarded pub in the city toohad to leave my stool the other day and queue up in order to get some fucking service
>>20941314>alcohol industry brainstorms how to get young adults not interested in alcohol to drink more alcoholHilarious. I hope the whole industry fucking collapses into the dust. I hope they blame millennials for killing it too.

>>20941655huhi go to bars way too much (retarded alckie) but i learned you have to be assertive if you want a drink at some bars, especially ones you aren't known at by assertive i mean getting the bartender's attention, not shouting your drink order at them. raising your hand suffices most of the time. I tip 25% at bars i plan on returning to, so i tend to get preferential service at the bar i'm a regular at queueing is what people do, because half of the people not at tables or the bar are either playing pool or fucking off outside to smoke
>>20941399Literally all of that originated in the Soviet Union 50+ years ago
Bartenders and barbacks are shit. People are queueing instead of a casual order because nobody is paying attention anymore.
Can someone explain, I literally don't understand. What's wrong with a single file? I don't go to bars often now but just showing up at the bar and hoping the bartender to pick you and/or trying to get his attention was an awful time.
>>20942487Concession accepted.
>>20942651The Soviet Union used to put fags in gulags anon-kun
Does alcohol help with digestion? Any of it. Or is it all a meme for getting drunk
>>20942762What? If anything alcohol is bad for digestion. If you go to a bar, you're going there to drink, hang with your friends, and maybe talk to strangers if you're particularly extroverted.
>>20942794Its just a popular thing to hear don't treat me like an alien
>>20942097>2 happy couples. what was the point of posting this?
>>20942672Most bars aren't arranged to support a single large line which causes issues with crowd management. Also since bars usually have multiple bartenders single lines can slow down service and the limited space behind a bar can mean bartenders get in each other's with only a single point of interaction.
>>20941339¿qué?
>>20941668>if you are there after somebody else you let them order firstRemind me again how a queue works?
>>20941314That's why I always saddle up to the bar, lay a silver dollar on the table and yell>BARKEEPwith my great booming voice, assless chaps and stetson commanding authority and respect, my aura drips with masculinity as the woman in the building instantly drip with excitement>WHISKEY>NEAT>And make it... SNAPPY
when I go to the bar its usually middle aged or older retired men and they all look at me funny and act like im a fag. i just want to get some drinks! I guess drinking at a bar is not like drinking at home, you can't get hammered just because you want to. I'll learn the social code eventually.... when I do go I just ask for a pint of whatever they got, usually yuengling.t. 25 year old zoom zoom

What is so wrong with forming a line at the bar instead of having people crowd around the bar and having it be random whether you wait for 5 seconds or 15 minutes on the whims of the bartender
>>20943210You have never been to a bar and it shows.
>>20941363>'m not sure if it's a leftover from the Covid thing.It's absolutely from Covid, the youngest zoomers hit 18 in 2020, so they learned to drink when the social distancing queuing was in effect. Presumably it won't last much longer.
>>20941314gen x here who hates bars and bar culture, how am I supposed to queue for drinks? this is why I was so happy when poncy faggy cocktail bars became a thing where you just get seated by a college girl in a catgirl outfit and she brings you $25 cocktails and wiggles her ass and there's no lines or any of that shit
>>20941314Either sit at the bar and get drinks or get a table and have your waitress put your drink orders in. There shouldn't be a middle man. Nothing pisses me off more than a bunch of people squeezing in-between me and the bloke next to me while I'm trying to watch the game. Only to get a drink and bring it back to their table.
>>20943275So sit at a table then, retard. >HURR DURR I SIT AT THE BAR BUT HATE PEOPLE COMING TO THE BARRetard.

>>20941314what's the deal with 'articles' placing the title of the piece as a caption to a photo, and also the first line of the first paragraph?do you really need to triple down on what the fuck you're trying to say?
>>20943272Same way you queue in a barbers. You note who was there before you when you show up, then when all of those people have been served you watch the person working until they look over to see who's next and acknowledge them.
>>20943309weird. the way I queue at a barber is I book online a few days out and put down a 50% deposit and if I don't show up, too bad I lose my deposit.
>>20941668Shouldn't it be up to the bar staff to track that? I don't go to the pub to play memorization games.
>>20943136Anon, all zoomers are autistic with social anxiety. They don't know how to socialize.Between social media upbringing, helicopter parents, victim complexes, and a couple years of lockdowns, zoomers are literal retards. Their intellectual growth has been irreparably stunted. The only reason they go to bars is to make retard grade tik toks.

>>20942066Hey that's by CartoonsHateHer!
>>20941338its not even a new systemits been the standard for decades. if the bar has people just cramming in fucking everywhere and fighting over the bartender's attention then the bar is a shithole not worth your money.
>>20941399millennials did none of those things though, it was the genx and boomers running society at the time that did all that shit. millennials were just along for the ride because if you dont accept fate you lose your job
>>20944577Cope harder millennial faggot. Boomers are fucking clueless and always have been. GenX didn't give a fuck because there weren't enough of them to have any significant sway one way or the other about anything. That's why they are called the forgotten generation. The alphabet parade disnt really start until the masses of millennials came of age and they picked up that victim complex pity party ball and ran with it. The whole "lose your job" bit only became a thing as the millennials reached middle management age - just enough power to make life miserable for everyone else.Zoomers are just just spineless retarded faggots that won't even manage to breed enough to replace their numbers in 40 years and thank God for that.With any luck, Gen alpha can somehow still course correct enough to salvage some simple human dignity.

A lot of that happened in Germany in the 40s, tooAt best you got social media, which is just an extension of looking for pussy.You're a zoomer with no context of the last century who reposts pasta.

I don't mind zoomers taking a long time counting pennies in front of the cashier just to buy an energy drink since can relate when being young and poor. But can any of you fags explain the bad habit of parking the damn scooter right in front of the door where people want to pass instead of the OBVIOUS EMPTY SPACE next to the door? Also second thinking right at the moment of paying and shuffling around for like 90% of the stuff you were intending to buy? It's annoying.
>>20944830It's a bar, not a supermarket checkout. You go to the bar and order when it's your turn.
>>20944830>Non-drug addict here.From this pretentious faggotry I know that you're a severely autistic retard. Bartenders generally aren't social retards barely able to function in society, aren't faceblind, and are supposed recall and to serve you in the order you arrive.
>>20941399Millennial seething in the replies
>>20944893Because the post is wrong. I'm 42 and at least half of it is as old as me.
I don't get what the problem is. How do they want customers to approach the bar then? As a mass of humans vying for the bartender's attention? This just seems fair and efficient.
>>20944854Like in a queue???
>>20941655truthnuke from a fellow public house enjoyerif zoomer customers are queueing at the bar in pubs, it's because zoomer employees are abysmal at multitasking and remembering anything. I went pub hopping a couple weeks ago and every place staffed entirely by zoomers had absurdly slow service. In one spot I had to wait almost 15 minutes to be served a pint at the bar when there was 3 staff on and only 4 other people waiting on orders
>>20944904Yes but not like a single file. Are you retarded?
>>20943260>the youngest zoomers hit 18 in 2020I thought I am a zoomer, being born in 2000

>>20944913Why NOT in a single file? If There's only 1 bartender. When you go to McDonald's do you cut in front of everyone? Stand NEXT to people instead of in front of or behind? Why are bars treated differently??
>>20941399>added TQIAA+ to LGB>first to majorly reject religiongood
>>20944955These threads always reveal how many autistic and socially awkward people frequent this board/site. I'll try to explain to you. A bar is not a supermarket checkout. A bar is a place for socializing.You go up to the bar, you talk to people at the bar, you sit at the bar. If this isn't for you, then you can always line up at the liquor store and take the alcohol with you home to avoid having to talk with people.
