Re: Beware of the stealth suspension of happy hour
Owner probably doesn't care if a 50c beer drinking 'regular' comes back or not? Not gonna move the needle for any bar really - not unless you are buying lady drinks.GMJS-CEO wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:27 pm If they still had signs about for happy hour I’d be annoyed and complain.
If they removed signs and I was a regular, it’d be nice if they told me but best to manage expectations of local wait staff.
The dollar amount isn’t a factor so long as your charged the advertised price.
You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone? That's common sense leaving your body.

Reminds me of Paddy Rice which changed to Cheers about 2 years ago...I went 3 or 4 times a week for the Happy Hour....1st day of Khmer New Year my beer cost $1.50 during Happy Hour....They said no Happy Hour Khmer New Year!

I did a 3 hour happy hour in my bar for a year or more at one stage. Half price beer.
I noticed certain customers would arrive at happy hour sharp, and leave at the end, without exception, no commercial value to them at all, quite the opposite; relatively high spending regulars would pop in, see the bar seats were full and leave.
When I changed it to buy four, get fifth free on ANY drink during happy hour I never saw any of those cheapskate plebs in my place again.

Not sure if the owner cares or not, it remains that as a customer if I was not charged the stated price I would not be happy.ego bibere nimis wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:52 pmOwner probably doesn't care if a 50c beer drinking 'regular' comes back or not?

Personally, I am more inclined to avoid a happy hour than seek it out. Better to pay more and avoid happy hour crowd, plus my craft beers aren't in the promotion anyway.

Re: Beware of the stealth suspension of happy hour
If its your regular joint, why complain over 6 dollars in this tough time, the past few months ive been over spending in my regular bars just to help their business out and help keep them afloat
Whats $6 amongst friends if you’ve got no loyalty to that bar just go find another that has the happy hour you seek
What bar is it anyway?

Re: Beware of the stealth suspension of happy hour
Possibly not, but rather short sighted if it were the case. To my unqualified mind, a happy customer is more likely to bring friends along than an unhappy one. And a bunch of friends are more likely to drink more. And as the party mood sets in, there’s more chance of less restraint, and the ladies getting drinks bought, if the ladies are there.ego bibere nimis wrote: ↑Mon Apr 05, 2021 6:52 pm Owner probably doesn't care if a 50c beer drinking 'regular' comes back or not?

But then, Most places everywhere don’t really get customer service.

Re: Beware of the stealth suspension of happy hour
...and on the subject of happy hour. When did happy hour become not just two hours, but five, six, half a day? Maybe happy happy hour will start to mean something.
It’s not like the shock you get when you realise a can of draught Guinness is being peddled at a bar price similar to a real draught in the UK/states/Canada.

Re: Beware of the stealth suspension of happy hour
Jerry Atrick's point is valid. So, on that basis, and knowing that 'birds of a feather' - last thing you want is a balloon chaser bringing his balloon chasing mates in and leaving no room for higher margin customers to come on in.. On the customer service thing....at 50c a beer, not sure any table service should be expected in all fairness.Freightdog wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 3:59 pmPossibly not, but rather short sighted if it were the case.
