I work in a chain pub (carvery style family friendly pub). The GM is very involved in the day to day running and he can often be found serving on the bar a lot of the time as well.
We are all instructed by the GM to measure Wine and Gin etc before pouring drinks to ensure that we are not accidentally pouring too much and wasting stock. The GM enforces this and often tells staff off if they accidentally forget to measure.
However, whenever the GM is serving on the bar he never (not even once, not even when the Area Manager is in!) measures drinks before pouring them for customers. But he is always the first person to tell staff off if they don’t measure drinks. Multiple staff, including me, have pointed this out to him about how he doesn’t measure drinks and that he should start measuring drinks too because it’s double standards if he doesn’t but he just never changes and still doesn’t measure any drinks.
Staff get annoyed by it (the fact that the GM never measures). It doesn’t annoy me as much as it annoys some staff but some staff get very annoyed and frustrated by the fact that the GM never measures drinks that he makes.
Is it unreasonable to think this is double standards from the GM and to be annoyed by it?
