Refused sunday drink

LeinsterDub

So I was in pub which advertised all day Sunday cocktails for €5. So I waited for 12:00 on the 8/7 and was told it wasn't Sunday. That the all day Sunday cocktail where only available from Opening on Sunday at 8. So was I being pedantic or Sunday is Sunday ?


Can a mod correct the typo in the poll please . Thanks

You were being a clown IMO

I'm gonna go with.............pedantic.

An 'All Day Breakfast' is rarely served all day.

Just one of those things in life that you gotta accept.

Bar day starts when they open. The overrun from the night before doesn't count I'm afraid.

Can you get it on Sunday night after midnight? ie, when it is really Monday?

I didn't ask. But if they want to offer their Sunday drink offer on a non Sunday that is up to them

Only a Dub :rolleyes:

The next day kinda starts at 6am imo.

You know when people say 'it's Sunday actually' at 12:05am, with a smug smirk, I feel like punching them in the throat.

Get out, you're barred!

So, when do people wish each other "Happy New Year!"?

Carbon Bootprint

Whatevr. They didn't want to serve the OP. Bars don't usually turn away business, so what should that tell us?

Pushtrak

Sunday was Atari Jaguar, and I am disappoint that you didn't include it in the poll.

They where more than happy to serve me. In fact they where very happy to give me a cocktail at €8 each just not at the "Sunday" rate

Hee hee. Where's the fookin "like" button? :pac:

I would expect better smart arsery from a little kid.
The barman didn't slap you or anything? Sound guy.

GarIT

Legally they should have served you at the discount advertised, the bar cannot decide when a day starts.

Duggy747

Sunday starts when I wake up again

humbert

OP, imagine a world where every single public notice is written in verbose legal jargon, is that what you want??

For example, when people say the pubs don't open until 12:00 on a Sunday do you jump in and correct them?

artanevilla

As a trading day it was still Saturday as per licence.

The bar doesn't decide, the law does. Saturday in the pub ends at last orders, 12.30am on what is technically a Sunday. Sunday starts at 12pm the next day when the pub is allowed to trade again.

LETHAL LADY

Maybe you should have put a double emphasis on it.;)

vicwatson

Lots of "SO..s" going on OP. WTF

Did you just hang in the corner until it was midnight? Pair of horn rimmed shades and a pocket full of change? Calander tearing a hole in your pocket, common sense akimbo?

Thats interesting, its also in Irish law that no party can decide the length of a day, week, month ect and its supposed to be taken as is.

Well Gar, that's not interesting at all.

The King of Moo

I know exactly how you feel OP. When I was younger I used to insist on waiting till it was dark to do my homework because my teacher had said "For homework tonight I want you to..."

But then, I was five at the time.

You're missing my point.

Im not, I really don't know so I'll believe you, but its odd that there is a contradiction. The law says a named day can only ever be 12am to 12am, but the licences appear to say different. A day can be 24 hours but you can't name the day.

I don't think he is. Let the pedantic games begin! As far as I'm concerned this is still Friday

Potential-Monke

The trading hours for a pub on saturday, as defined by Irish law, are up to 00.30 the following day, ie: Sunday (this is still considered saturday in liquor licensing terms), however those that stay open until 2.30, ie: late bars and nightclubs, get an extension to the licence for every night that they want to stay open and this applies to the day, not the following day. So, a pub that wants to stay open until 02.30 on a Sunday morning is getting an extension of the Saturday night licence, ergo it's a Saturday in liquor licensing terms.

No. That would be past last orders.

Did you wait all day without a drink?

Felexicon

It's people like the OP that made me hate working in a pub.
This kind of shít happened all the time. Someone has a few drinks and thinks they'll impress everyone with thier smartarsedness (new word) and call you up on something. What they don't realise is that people in the pub are laughing out of embarrasment for them not with them, because they look like a drunken idiot

Sunnyisland

But do some pubs/nightclubs not open at 5 mins past midnight on the saturday after good friday night ?? Seem to remember going to one back in the 90,s in the red cow Dublin.

Tombi!

Simple: you're being an annoyance. If the next day in a pub/club started at 00:00 on the dot you're not getting servred till 10/12 in the morning.

So choose: no cocktails or no alcohol at all.

I find that a bit condescending coming from a barman,The majority of people in pubs/clubs at the hour of the night would be drunk and everyone whilst under the influence thinks there the best thing since sliced bread and as funny as a hyena,Its all part of the job to listen to people who when drunk talk a different language and watch them turn into something there normally not .

BunShopVoyeur

You were being a drunken arsehole tbh. Did your mates think you were hilarious?

Dave!

I can almost see the smug look on the OP's face as he points this out

Melion

I hope the OP realises that the barman and his colleagues all had a laugh at him during the clean up. At least thats what would have happened when I worked in bars. People like him are prob the most annoying people to bar staff

mikemac1

Ah one of those OP, I know ye well from my minimum wage barman days




Clocks go back
"Oh this means an extra hour of drinking time. You must stay open, it's the law"

GTFO :rolleyes:

blingrhino

Imagine having to go out with this dick :eek:

Oh you find my POST a bit condescending do you. Try going to work every night and having people like the OP trying to quote the laws of sales/advertisment at you.
If you don't think people who do things like that are díckheads it means you're one of them

Actually I had my own pub back in the 80,s, so i know all about working behind the bar and dealing with people who have to much drink on them,It comes with the job,But as its obvious your only new to the pub game you will get used to it. cheers.Then again with an attitude like yours I dont think you will last.

mikemac1

I wonder if the OP was around in the early nineties when you could get free food in the nightclubs. Well not free as your ticket was still paying for it but it was there anyway

Was something to do with giving a "substantial meal" to get a late licence

Now gone
Bring it back I say!

Tombi!

Well you were in a bit of a different job compared to being a barman.

Why didn't you throw them out when they were too drunk? And please don't give me the "they were still buying" excuse.
