I'm all for businesses trying to survive, but don't act like you're on the moral high ground when in reality your business model is based on people booking you for parties and skulling as many €6 g&ts into them as they can, don't act like you care about food waste when you throw out free platters that barely get looked at, never mind eaten........
Tenzor07 wrote: » Production cost of the meal as in what it costs the business to purchase everything needed to make a "€9 meal"... They're not a charity, they're a business and 30% of food/drink businesses will go to the wall with 100's of job losses when this alleged January lockdown comes in after the holidays.. Attack and attack restaurants but when you walk down the streets of wherever it is you live and all the doors are boarded up just remember your angry attacks on them....

The only thing I have learnt about this country during the Covid Crisis is how prevalent the anti- alcohol lobby is. I really genuinely never noticed it before. But they got given an inch and they took the mile.

People love to be pointing fingers elsewhere, it soothes their conceit. The schools got the cases rising, the pubs got the blame. It is simple maths. Sniff all the bullshight you like.

hynesie08 wrote: » Aggressive, nah, that's just how you've read it. Need a drink, nah, enjoy one but nice attempt at a subtle attack. Again, I am not blaming pubs, never have, but in this particular case, a pub that freely gives away food suddenly becoming concerned about food waste at the time of year when they'd have a ridiculous amount of waste anyway? Bull****
IAMAMORON wrote: » No in fairness your tone is aggressive , too much cussing and swearing? I am not sure if you are suitable to public drinking tbh.
You sound duplicitous, only someone who was not comfortable with pubs would have an issue with what they are saying. On a further matter it seems like a fairly pedantic argument to be involving yourself in?
What do you care about what such and such a pub is saying or doing to get their doors open, in particular if you are not blaming them?
I have no problem with buzzkillers , but at least be straight about where you are coming from. You either want pubs open or you don't, anyone spoofing about " lack of food" or " social distancing" are just talking through their hole. Don't bother, life is too short.
As I said before, it's the kids in school that are spreading it and its the pubs that are taking the blame.
