Attitude problems. Depensd on how many people are going in to do these machines, i've been joint kicked out of two norwich pubs with crosby because they get sick of punters going in all day every day. Thankfully it isn't an issue here (yet :P )
"Sixty percent of the time, it works, every time!"
everone gets barred one time or another, in your large chain pubs like spoons etc you should be fine, but in the cliquey arms were the landlord knows every face that walks through his door, and you walk in too find old Fred sitting in the corner with half a mild, feeding his Yorkshire Terrier a packet of crisps, if you get 1 £70 top or god forbid a £105 in this type of pub and its game over, part of the game i'm afraid.
Whats the point in 'getting him back'? Get over it, if he didn't abuse or manhandle you and you never put £80 in for £70 and got accused of emptying it therse no problem is there.
Couple of tips for when go in a Cliquey Arms or an Inbred Tavern ;
1. Say please and thank you, manners cost nothing.
2. Buy a pint, if you're gonna rinse a machine pay extra for a drink.
3. Don't dive on the machine, pretend you're waiting for someone, drink half your pint ( pour it in the plant next to you if you're a lightweight), then wander over to your cash cow.
4. Go the Gym, you'll find that most Landlords are fat bastard bullies who don't have the balls to pick on their own size.
Oh and one more thing, as Columbo would say haha, catch the f*cking pound coins!!
You don't know what cliquey means? a group of people who 'keep it in their group', nasty to outsiders. I know a lot of cliquey people, some of my friends don't like 'new people' in my group.
