I live in a fairly expensive area (London) and I went to a pub quiz recently where my team came first and won the prize. The prize was a £40 bar tab (less than we had already spent on our drinks, team of 4) which was awarded to us at the end of the evening ... obviously, as that was when the quiz was finished and all scores totted up. We'd have enough to drink at this stage. But we were given a £40 bar tab which had to be used within one week.
Well, none of the 4 of us want to go back to the pub and spend it within a week! Going to Pub Quiz is a once every 2 or 3 months event for us, none of us in the team would go to a pub and spend that kind of money every week.
It's obviously ok (first world problem!) but we won't be using our prize. But it's a shit prize, yes?
And yes of course I know pubs have had a terrible couple of years. But so have their punters. If they wanted us to come back to the quiz they would have given their prize better consideration. Aibu?
