A pub in Edinburgh has slammed selfish customers who 'have forgotten how to behave respectfully in a hospitality setting ', after staff were faced with abuse over the weekend.
The Dreadnought in Leith penned a sweary Facebook post this morning and outlined that rule-breakers would be permanently barred from their venue, writing that 'in applying these rules we're protecting our staff, customers and licence.'
Adding that 'we don't need to put up with w*****s', the Dreadnought pub said that their rant doesn't apply to '99.9% of our followers'.
Known for not mincing their words on their social media, the Dreadnought added that being a 'b*****d' would result in permanent barring.
They wrote: "Morning pals. I know this won't apply to 99.9% of our followers but that's another weekend I've received reports from staff of abject b******dery in the pub. As regulars will know, this is very unusual for the Dread. It seems, however, that some folk have forgotten how to behave respectfully in a hospitality setting. So I'd like to make the following points:
"10pm beer garden closing - Not our rule
10:30pm indoor closing - Not our rule
Maximum 8 people at a table outside - Not our rule
Maximum 6 people at a table inside - Not our rule
Remaining seated both inside and outside - Not our rule
Not mingling with other tables - Not our rule
"In applying these rules we're protecting our staff, customers and licence.
"Further:
Verbally abusing a member of staff - Permanent barring
Touching a female member of staff without express permission (yes, this still happens) - Permanent barring
Touching a male member of staff without express permission - Best of luck
Being a b*****d - Asked to leave
Complaining about being asked to leave - Permanent barring
"Expect these rules to be applied with enthusiasm and vigour. We have more than enough brilliant customers to see us through, we don't need to put up with w*****s. You see that tenner you're planning to spend on drink you can't handle? We'd honestly rather you rolled it up nice and tight and went and f****d yourself with it.
"Anyway, lovely weather, eh? Scotland game this avo. I've got some Countryfile to catch up on in the meantime. Hope the vast majority of you had an absolute cracker of a weekend."
To behave sensibly at the Dreadnought and enjoy their huge selection of beer, book a table on their website here.
