Can’t imagine anything worse. Soulless shite and taking jobs. The yarn with the barman on a quiet evening is what the pub is all about. https://t.co/UjsPdEJVDU

AI, bud.
Couldn’t happen here.
Or could it?
Meanwhile…
Tap should have a urinal just under it so you can take a piss at the same time.

Ah now.
Hic.

This may be a Dublin thing but it’s my experience that 90% of bartenders are 21 year old goms with ill-fitting waistcoats and erratic facial hair who are if I’m to be brutally honest really terrible at their jobs. So I don’t mind their being made obsolete by wallrobots.
“Y’all righ’ there bud”?
Though perhaps this greeting was sponsored by a brewery?
Who serve every female customer first. Because then they might fall in love with him.
I hear ya. Only taking one order at a time. Straight pour Guinness. *shudder*
There is zero difference between pouring a pint of a nitro stout in one go or two; this is just a marketing gimmick.
Tbh I haven’t pulled a pint in a while. Have they changed the ‘pull forward to fill then push back to top it off’ system?
Its just the pubs you’re going to.
This.
can’t beat shooting the breeze with a sound barman.
I dunno, talking to your friends maybe?
Some pub on Merrion Row used to do that – there were taps in the middle of some of the tables. You gave your card details at the bar and the taps were switched on.
O’Donoghues – I think.
the Baggot Inn [now xico] had the guinness tables for a while, don’t think they lasted too long, more of a novelty than anything.
I was just about to say I’d seen it in Dublin. Couldn’t remember where though.
Mantra in Maynooth as well (The Duke & Coachman I think it’s called now) had them too. Didn’t see anyone use them.
Lived in maynooth for 10 years. Place changed names so many times. soulless place every time
Ah yeah I worked in Kiely’s in D4 as a barman and we had two of them in for a period. Absolute disaster of a thing. Lads pulling the worst pints for themselves and not knowing when to stop. We took them out after a while
No thanks.
Same reason I don;t use the automatic shopping yokes in the supermarket.
Go to a person. Have a chat..
everyone should boycott those things- refuse to use them
Great, no queue for me so.
not so
I break them first
Phwoarrrrr!!!
everyone should refuse to use ATMs also – they should queue up to get their money from a bank teller, like in the good old days.
I like to have a conversation with my self service checkout. It’s a great excuse to start roaring abuse and ranting about how the machines are taking over.
‘Unexpected item in YOUR bagging area, yeh filthy silly!’
You’ve seen me being escorted from the shops obviously.
You’ve some grasp of the cruder side of the English language, I have to say.
It’s something of a fine art, I must say.
I do too, just in case they rise up against us, I might still be able to get rid of my pennies and tuppences which annoyingly pill my pockets every week.
Unexpected item in the pouring area!
Yep, looks like a urinal wall
No thanks.
Does it reduce the price of the drink I wonder?
Probably not if you’re doing it half cut.
No, just the value of it :-(
Only if you install the urinal below….
Just think of all the manky Guinnesses poured.
Surely there are legal issues as drunk people can serve themselves alcohol.
Never ask a Dublin barman what he thinks of Joyce’s Ulysses [especially if you’re an American literary researcher.]
Shur’ what’s the point lads
You might as well get a keg put in under the sink
Go on…..
There are a few bars like this where I live (foreign). They usually have a v large selection of beers on tap and being pay-by-volume it allows you to try new beers without having to commit to a full pint. I like it!
A pint is hardly a commitment, is it?
I can just imagine the number of taps that have had a manky drunken mouth wrapped around it “for a laugh”
Do you get to wipe down the counters and pick up the glasses yourself as well while you are at it, or do you have to pay extra for that?
