I went for lunch in weatherspoons, thre was two horrendously rough couple with a child eating a greggs sausage roll. They put sauces from the table in there bag. It's stealing plain and simple. I'm utterly appalled at some people these days.

No rougher than somebody who goes to a Spoons for lunch instead of a restaurant.

It's 'rough' to lunch somewhere that's reasonably priced, quick and reliable, if not very exciting? I wouldn't usually want the full restaurant experience at lunchtime. Spoons is cheaper than, e.g. M&S cafe and helpfully highlights the items on the menu that are lower-calorie. If the weather is fine, I usually have a sandwich al fresco if I'm on a day trip, but if it's eating inside weather, Spoons is a decent option in my view.

Yes, that was the point! Baby should not have been in there at that time! A totally unsuitable environment for any child!

The staff should've had them out earlier unless he managed to hide the child. We used to get told from 8.30pm that they had to be out by 9pm. However it was actually 10pm and that manager just wanted them out earlier so she didn't need to deal with kids.

Midnight? Most places kick the kids out at 9/10pm

‘Steeling’ - what a horrendously rough spelling!

I was in Wetherspoons on Friday night and saw a man drinking with his 10minth ish old baby getting kicked out (this was midnight in a packed pub!!!). The barmaid, who was older and obviously very worldly wise, remained professional but was obviously fuming. I think this would be the least of their worries!

FFS. Have you been on the wine again?

Well it is cheap in Spoons

TheHillIsMine · 22/09/2025 19:47

I'm appalled at the state of people's spelling and judgement of others who may be struggling.

I take a handful of mayo sachets if I see them. I don't use mayo enough to justify a whole bottle as it will go off. But every now and again I fancy a tuna mayo sandwich, and it's just the right amount. I await the po po.

Brexit means we can take sauces from Witherspoons because he was an arch brexiteer.

choccytime · 22/09/2025 19:44

I'd be steeling some mayo to put on my Greggs sausage roll ooh I fancy one now

YYYDlilah · 22/09/2025 19:29

They probably nicked the sausage roll too.

luckylavender · 22/09/2025 19:29

These days? People have always stolen things.

What’s the difference between horrendously rough and simply rough?

Simply rough people buy their sausage rolls from cooplands. Only the horrendously rough lower themselves to a Greggs sausage roll.

YYYDlilah · 22/09/2025 19:24

thre was two horrendously rough couple with a child eating a greggs sausage roll.
Was it two couples or one couple?

Icecreamandcoffee · 22/09/2025 19:23

How responsible of the parents to make sure little Kay-Den will get their vegetables for the week by stealing the sauce. Hopefully they got them a fruit shoot too to be sure he got his 5 a day.

EternalSunshine19 · 22/09/2025 19:22

Your spelling is awful. I find that worse than someone taking a few sachets of sauce

Navigatinglife100 · 22/09/2025 19:20

I'm not normally a pedant but I think spelling steeling like that is a bigger crime than squirreling a few sauce sachets from W.

I thought you didn't like chain restaurants OP?

Or do you make exceptions for cheap pubs? 😁

😹😹😹

Flakey99 · 22/09/2025 19:12

Wetherspoons? Excellent! 👌

AgnesX · 22/09/2025 19:12

What a snotty post. Since you were in in Wetherspoons what makes you so high brow?
