COULDNT BELIEVE MY EYES

[sovsuppa]

This goes on in all other pubs not just Sam Smiths, have worked in pubs for 10 years now and have seen it do on a regular basis.

With all due respect bubble I have worked in this trade for forty years now and I can't say that I have seen this done on a regular basis.  Yes I've seen it done on numerous occassions but I have always walked out and never returned to that kind of pub.  However much pressure Humph puts on, your pride should bar you from doing this sort of disgusting trick. The kind of person who would do this shouldn't be allowed to run a pub.

it is def inately not scaremongering and does go on on a regular basis as ive seen it a couple of times since,that i have seen,i refuse to take any drinks that isnt from a clean empty to start with glass...i can understand the position the managers are in to get there surplus and the fault does lie with the brewery

May i repeat, refuse, report!!!!!! Adulteration is an offence, is a simple.Nothing to do with the brewery.

40years..so you will remember autoclaves, buckets in the mild etc in the name of profit?

[SILLYSOD]

that was 40 years ago
when i say the fault lies with the brewery i mean for putting undue pressure on managers to hit the magical 5%.the pressure being if they dont hit this then the brewery take money out of their bond to make the shortfall up and if the managers dont keep their bond level up then its a breach of contract.

Only three years ago I worked in  town centre bar and was told if anyone brought a pint back, I was supposed to share it between two glasses and just top them up when an unsuspecting customer came in, I didn't work there long

[SILLYSOD]

i got told that years ago too,dirty sods,i always keep an eye open for it now and if it aint pulled fresh into a empty glass i refuse to pay for it.
and i deffo wouldnt serve it

Sorry, i did of course mean Autoback/vac?

Autoclave:  a means of sterilization
Autoback/vac: a means to give you the S...s or worse?

There is no EXCUSE to adulterate and there is no EXCUSE or DEFENCE if one does.
