Judgemental drinker asks bar staff to call police over group's 'chavvy' outfits

A judgemental drinker asked bar staff to call the police over a group's 'chavvy' outfits.

Justin Quine who works as management in On Point cocktail bar on Victoria Street, Liverpool, was approached by a man who asked if the police could be called to remove the group.

After asking the man why, he was told a group of four men in the bar 'looked chavvy' and he needed to 'get them out', reports the Liverpool Echo.

After asking one more time if there was a specific reason he felt this way, the man responded: "no I just don’t like the way they are dressed."

Justin, who took to social media to tell people what happened, said: "So last night a group of lads, mid 20s, come into the bar and asked if there was door staff on and are they ok to wear their trainers.

"We said that we don’t have a dress code people are free to dress as they please, so seconds later a guy comes to us in the bar and said “call the police now” .. we asked why and his response was “them four lads look chavvy and you need to get them out and call the police”.

"We again asked if there was any reason why he felt the need for the police and he said “no I just don’t like the way they are dressed."

Justin said he was shocked at the comment as the club had 'not once had any trouble'.

He continued: "We as a venue are completely inclusive to ALL! We have staff on the floor all the time ensuring our customers are safe and in the time we have been open we have not once had any trouble at On Point.

"The four lads came in to have a drink the same as everybody else they chatted to some of our elderly customers and they took photos with our Drag DJ and had a really good time.

"They were polite to staff and were completely oblivious to the guy insisting that the police were called to arrest them."

After the man carried on demanding staff to remove the men wearing trainers and caps, staff asked him to leave as he was 'creating the problem'.

Justin said: "He caused that much of a scene over the way someone else was dressed, and because he felt someone in trainers and cap shouldn’t be allowed to drink in the same place as him, we asked him to leave because he was creating the problem.

"We have said time and time again we include everyone no matter how they dress.

"Moral of the story is never ever judge a book by its cover."
