Thrown out of a bar last night
Hello forum
I don't rant on this forum often. I won't lie, I don't get angry often but last night something happened that really wound me up!
I popped into a bar on St Marys Street in Cardiff. The pubs were pretty busy with their celebrations of St Davids Day so my friends Alun and moroccan Johan thought we should try a bar instead. Why not!
We walked in and Alun got us in a round (this must have been about 5pm)... I had a pint of Fosters, as did Alun, whilst moroccan Johan got a gin and tonic. At the bar there were plates of welsh cakes. I thought it was a lovely touch on our patrons day so I picked one up and took a bite.
What happened next really badgered me. The bar lady stared at me in disbelief. She said "What do you think you're doing? You do realise you have to pay for those don't you. That'll be 50p if you don't mind."
Well as you can imagine, I was fuming! She looked at me like I was a petty thief. I've never stolen anything in my life, and if I were to start it wouldn't be baked goods! I told the lady "I thought they were free. You put them on cheap paper plates at the bar and people are going to assume they're complimentary!"
I'm not a confrontational person, Alun however... We got in a heated discussion as Alun stood his ground and told me I shouldn't have to pay. I was happy to hand over the 50p to move on from the whole situation but Alun said it was a matter of principle.
Alun only got us thrown out of the bar didn't he! He gets quite agressive does Alun, and gave a speech on how disgusting it was to pay for welsh cakes on our St David's day!
Anyway, poor Moroccan Johan had no idea what was going on. His english isn't the best. We headed to a wetherspoons straight after, where we reamined for the rest of the night. I had to tell you forum because never in my life have I been made to feel like a common thief. Ron doesn't believe in robbery!
A good night was had by all after that however. I've learnt my lesson now that's there no such thing as a free welsh cake! Hope you all had a good night.
Ron
