My Regular Annoyances

The following are common requests/statements from guests. As a one-off, you'd tolerate them. As a constant stream, they just get really irritating.


Requests:

1) To keep the bar open, even though you called last orders 30 minutes ago and they ignored you.

2) For a glass of wine, giving no details as to measure, type of grape, or even red/white.

3) For a glass of the wine they had yesterday, despite the fact that it wasn't you who served them.

4) For 20 or so drinks, all reeled off in a list, which they expect you to remember.

5) For a detailed explanation of all the drinks you serve so they can make up their mind, even though it's a very busy period and they've just been standing at the bar for 15 minutes.


Statements:

1) "Don't you know who I am?!" - When asked for proof that they're staying in the hotel.

2) "Don't you f*cking tell me what to do, you tw*t!" - When you've asked them to stop swearing in the bar (usually around 3pm when there are children present)

3) "You really enjoy this, don't you?! You're nothing but a jobsworth, you total nob!" - When you've refused to serve them for being drunk.
