Well done Mr Cook…he could have made this happen easily getting extra staff in but we all know he doesn’t want this🤷 I don't think that's fair, getting extra staff in for hospitality at reasonably late notice is a very difficult job. Charlie D's was often closed under previous management as well when struggling for staff. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Secure Par Posted April 26 Report Share Posted April 26 If you require over 18 year old staff then I’m sure the staff working can text their pals and they could come in to help….. BUT if you’re paying for 4/5 hours work then that’s what should be paid?? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't be fair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a glut of vacancies just now, has been since the height of Covid. And no, we don't "all know" Cook doesn't want this. Got any basis for that?

Seriously? Are those pals interested? Are they competent? Are they trained as bar staff? And are the original staff being paid to help the club with its hospitality recruitment?

Sorry when I got trained as bar staff at 18 I was in the bar and learnt the job.. it wasn’t that hard tbh but I presume it’s harder nowadays?

There needs to be a training package completed for all new bar staff - and they all have to be over 18 years of age to serve alcohol. The training has to be issued, a test given, and the results recorded and signed off by a personal licence holder. It’s not like when I learned the bar trade where it was just chucked in on a quiet night with someone who knew what they were doing and got straight into it. The biggest issue is finding the people who want the work in the first place. Its about 3-4 hours of casual labour on a Saturday afternoon, which unfortunately has a very small pool of people available and wanting to work at those times. Even if you bump the wages up and try and increase the price of the product to pay for it, I can guarantee there will be outrage on many forums/social media giving it “I’m not paying £x.xx for a pint of fkking xxxx”. All in all, it’s a tough spot for the club to try and fill on such an irregular occurrence. Not sure there’s any evidence that Mr Cook or whoever don’t want it open. Even if it was just for PR. Probably in fact the opposite. It’s better to have folk whinging about the price of a pint when they’re drinking in your place, rather than sitting somewhere else whinging about not being able to get one at all. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serious question, I always see people saying they don't like it or don't feel welcome there, and I'm never sure why. It's just a bar, with seats and beer and TV screens. Just throwing the question out there, as I've heard the same issues over the years. I'm in no position to give judgment anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
