Taking pint glasses from pubs

nobodythere

What's your rules on taking pint glasses from pub? We generally have a 3 pints to 1 glass rule, but this can vary depending on how many glasses you need and how much you plan to drink.

Never stolen any, but I often find them outside pubs on my way home on greens and such, so I take them home.

Hope you give em a fair wash first, a few "fair washes"!

One night we robbed about 6/7 including a bailey's one, the OH's HUGE handbag came in handy

Local pub got a rake load of jemmie glasses in, really fancy ones, we managed to get 8 out of 10. Gave them to my parents as a gift. Next day they were down the pub and saw the glass and said to the barman "there must be some promotional thing going on the jameson, my sone and his mates had lots of them last night".

Needless to say the barman wasn't impressed!

My rule is "Don't take what's not yours"

If I want a glass I'll ask for (and usually receive) it.

If I need several I will buy them.

I concur.

I don't rob them very often, unless its a cool one.. I have about 2 Becks ones cos those are nice and one Kopparberg glass. Big handbags are indeed handy

I have not so much robbed them but taken them with me so I could finish what was in them. Also got a box full of pint glasses from the guy that owns the Cardiff Inn one time, probably as a form of defense but I jst ran with them.

Meh, don't really care about people lifting pint glasses from the bar, I mean i'll take the bar I work in as an example, we have about 10-20 boxes of glasses spare in the store. I would be annoyed if I saw someone walking out with one of the fancy glasses we stock like hot whiskey glasses or champagne glasses.

During the first week of college I'm going to be robbing plenty of pints and shot glasses, knives and forks, and loads of small packets of mayonaise!

Can remember partying so hard at this one bar on the beach, that when I stumbled out the door onto the sand, the bar tender just looked the other way while I carried my half full pint out the door. He probably felt that it was worth it, now that peace had been restored to his establishment.:pac::p

Ok, that's impressive. How the hell did you manage to walk out with those?

I have no idea, apparently me and my sister walked straight out the door of the local nightclub with a stool each, sat around outside for a while and then took them home. All the stuff came from that nightclub, they've gotten a professional bouncer crew in since.

A friend handed me an Erdinger glass outside of a pub we just left.
So I didn't really take it from the pub, he did, and now I have a cool glass that wont fit in the press.

My brother started collecting as many different glasses as he could, about a year ago iirc. Included Kopparberg, Erdinger, Harp, Bulmers and one or two more. One afternoon he looked at his shelf, saw a load of useless empty glasses, and realised the error of his ways!

That said, he does still have the big Erdinger and Kopparberg ones. Filled with, erm, pot-pouri...

I have a crate of the Erdinger sitting in my hall way, don't use then because they are a b!tch to clean....

I "acquired" a pint glass from a pub in England, years ago, and the only reason I kept it was because all of the pub's glasses came ready etched with "This glass was stolen from the crown inn". It was too tempting to resist.

Don't let the dregs sit in the end - rinse them and then use a long handled brush when having them washed.

one of those brushes for getting inside baby bottles would be ideal

Depends on the quality of the glass. If it's a Carlsberg, I'll take as many as will fit in the missus' handbag.

Don't feel so bad about acquiring branded glasses from pubs. I was a bar manager and the only glasses I had to buy were pils glasses, slim jim's and believe it or not Guinness glasses.

All the other branded glasses were provided at request by the relevant rep for nothing along with all the other goodies.
I'm on the look out for a Duvel glass if anyone has seen any loitering :P
