Wetherspoons poor service?

The message from martyn dawe contains these words:

True, but our local Wetherspoon's doesn't sell Marstons! I think that one has to see it as an illustration of a real ale example rather than a promise to provide that particular brew :)

Oh dear... someone rattled the staffs cage ;-)

Wasn't me! Honest! :-)

And if you look at the small print it says that a substitute may be provided.

And my local JDW is by Buxton standards very posh and clean indeed.

That's because 99 percent of the staff are employed on cleaning duties rather than serving anyone :)

they banned it here at the end of March (Wick, Highlands). Doesn't seem to be much of a drop off in customers.

Smoking, sorry for the confusion - must be all the smoke :)

They seemed to in Warrington. They had a cleaning list in the disabled toilets but it was seldom ticked as done! Now they don't have the list.

I thought the information so far indicated that some pubs were neutral in sales and others were up, but overall the effect was increased sales to the tune of about 12-15 percent.

From all accounts even died in the wool smokers are giving up and drinking instead.

Died in a whirl of smoke or dyed in the wool? :-)

What interest do you think they should have?

I've been in more than one 'Spoons where they've been happy to give me a guest ale as part of the curry deal; I just asked nicely.

Deliberate short-measure combined with refusal to top up.
