A ‘campaign’ has called on the British public to put an end to a ‘worrying’ new trend of forming a single file queue in pubs and instead restore the age-old tradition of queueing at the bar.
So we can stand around at the bar for twenty minutes being overlooked whilst gasping for a drink? No thanks.
Not British. How does this work? Do you order, and receive your order while remaining queued (Subway style)? Or do you order, leave, and get called when your order is done (Starbucks style)? Ot do you order, move to the side, and mill about till your order’s up (McDonalds)?
I’ve personally not seen this queueing phenomenon in any pub post Covid. The traditional system is you squeeze into any gap at the bar, the bar staff should be keeping track of the order people arrive, when it comes to you, you order, they pour, you pay and take your drinks back to your table.
