Has your card ever been declined while trying to pay for a pint/bottle, Mock?

I mainly get my Alcohol from a local Off-Licence, and I've always had my ID with me thankfully.

But when I've been to the Pub I've been extremely lucky and not had my card declined.

Ah, gotcha. I’m okay doing most things alone (at my most outgoing I’m a reserved ambivert so in other words I very-much enjoy my own company) so I don’t mind getting a few tinnies/bottles (not so much at the moment with these crazy inflation costs) and drinking in my own space but going to the pub. and just watching the world/people go by is something I’ve always enjoyed to be fair. If you’re the reserved observant type you can probably sit at one table for three hours drinking a few glasses of wine or pint-or-two of Heineken and just taking in the atmosphere/vibes. But I get why you’re the sort of guy who might prefer buying from the offie (which isn’t a bad thing at all).

My card’s definitely been declined in the past but I’m a reliable semi-regular face so it’s never been too much of an embarrassment for me on the occasions it’s happened.

Oh I can definitely see the appeal of a Pub environment.

And I can see that the business trusts you which is a good thing.

Yeah, trust isn’t something I like to break easily. Even if it was a case of me being so broke (which it’s not), or at least allegedly so, and the staff so generous that they drew-up a credit tab for me I definitely wouldn’t run away from that pub. without eventually paying my way, down to the penny. Running a business is tough and these places need all the financial help they can get to even stay open at all. I’m not someone who takes the piss when it comes to money.

I can agree with you on that.

Local businesses in particular I'm always in favour of supporting.

I definitely believe in supporting local pubs. I’m with you on that.
