Bit of light hearted banter on a cold tuesday morning
π€£π» THINGS YOU ONLY UNDERSTAND IF YOU RUN A PUB! π»π€£
People think running a pub is just pouring pints, having a laugh and chatting to customersβ¦ OH, HOW WRONG THEY ARE! π
Letβs talk about the things nobody warns you about when you become a landlord!
π€£ THE PUB THIEVES β People will nick absolutely anything that isn't nailed down. Glasses, toilet rolls, ornaments, decorationsβ¦ We're half expecting someone to leave with the bloody bar!
πΊ THE CUSTOMERS WHO ARE ALWAYS RIGHT β Apparently, no matter what happens, the customer is ALWAYS right. Even when they're spectacularly, unbelievably WRONG! π
π½ THE TOILETS β Oh dear Lord! Some of the things we find in there are beyond human understanding. We could write a book, but honestly, you'd never eat your dinner again. WHAT IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE?! π€’π
π THE ONES WHO NEVER WANT TO GO HOME β We've turned the lights on, turned the music off, put the chairs up and practically started sweeping around your feetβ¦ BUT STILL THEY SIT THERE! π€£ Do we need to send a search party?
π£οΈ THE CONVERSATIONS β You hear things in a pub that you couldn't make up if you tried. Affairs, arguments, family dramas, medical problems, financial disasters and stories that really should never be shared in public! π
ποΈ THE UNPAID COUNSELLOR β Apparently, we're not just landlords. We're marriage counsellors, agony aunts, therapists, relationship experts and mediators. Everyone's got a problem and we're expected to solve it between pouring pints!
π¦ THE PUB BANK β "Can you lend me a tenner?" "Can I pay you Friday?" "Can you just look after this for me?" π€£ We're a pub, not NatWest!
π€¦ββοΈ THE COMPLAINT DEPARTMENT β Too hot, too cold, music too loud, music too quiet, drinks too expensive, drinks not strong enough, someone's sitting in their favourite seatβ¦ YOU NAME IT!
And let's not forget we're expected to be cleaners, plumbers, electricians, security guards, entertainers, stock controllers, mind readers and bloody miracle workers!
But here's the thingβ¦
β€οΈ Despite the madness, the drama, the long hours, the things that go missing and the things we'd rather NEVER see againβ¦
WE WOULDN'T SWAP IT FOR THE WORLD!
Wellβ¦ ask us again on a Monday morning after a busy weekend! π€£π€£
To all our customers at the white horse β we love you reallyβ¦ even the awkward ones! π
PLEASE DON'T TAKE THE TOILET ROLL ON YOUR WAY OUT! π€£π»
Please this is just light hearted banter π«£
