15 Problems Only People Who Work For A Pub Chain Will Understand
13. Having To Learn The Ales On Offer Which Change All The Time
Britain's pretty well liked for its variety of local ales and ciders, mainly because there're quite a lot of them, and they tend to be a bit cheaper than a pint of lager. However, being a new person behind the bar in one of the pub chains can be terrible if you don't know your lager from your ale. Being asked what that Old Gold ale tastes like, or being requested to state the brewing process for Triple X during a busy Friday night shift are the ultimate panic-inducing questions. You don't know (even though you've been told a million times) and quite frankly, you don't care. These ale drinkers should know their ales and stop hassling you for information that seems to go in one ear and straight out the other. And they all taste the same anyway, right?
I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
