Bad service gripes include:
- The woman working on clientco coffee bar who, in trying to be great at her job, always has your drink ready for you before you get to the till. Great, thanks, except today I wanted a double shot. Seeing her puzzled, then annoyed expression; and having to explain you will need her to make you a new coffee as no, simply dumping another shot of ground coffee in the cup probably won't work. Being told angrily - well, that's just a waste love.
Proper bar staff will never assume and give you chance to say what you want first.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Nouvelle Cuisine
Stupid Frog affectation, and an excuse to serve dainty microscopic portions at very macroscopic prices
Just got back from a pub lunch - The lady I was with ordered beef burger and chips, which was a fiver and looked like a huge pyramid. I ordered "breast of chicken, purple potatoes, and wild mushrooms" which was £15.
Expecting half a chicken, and good portions of potatoes and mushrooms, but what arrived was a huge bowl, with a weird sauce containing about half a thinly sliced mushroom, a small pile of weird looking potatoes and about three small chunks of chicken!
The "purple potatoes" should have rung alarm bells!Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment
