Never before have I witnessed someone so laughably Inexperienced in bar management.
The other staff we encountered were excellent, so much so that we had planned to leave a glowing review, however this was abruptly ruined by Sam who (we can only assume wanted to close early) accused one of our party of being drunk. This was simply not the case. He wouldn’t actually state which one of us was ‘drunk’ as that would have meant justifying his childish, Trump-like behaviour. He then went off and hid. The staff were embarrassed and we were left bemused. It was bizarre.
In short, Sam ruined a perfectly good evening because he wanted to go home.
We spoke with the staff who all agreed that he’d quite clearly made a fool out of himself.
It later transpires (one of the staff told us) that Sam was ‘in a bad mood as he wasn’t meant to be working tonight’, this was very evident.
We’ll be speaking with the team at M&B on Monday to discuss this further, they clearly need to be aware that they have someone so laughably inexperienced representing them.
