Steeling sauces in weatherspoons

[Amy34555]

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.

‘Steeling’ - what a horrendously rough spelling!

I love a Greggs sausage roll!!

And don’t get me started on the Christmas Slices 🤤

I must be rough as . . . 😂

Festive bakes! Food of gods.

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.

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.

She doesn't care for chain restaurants as a rule.

They have bottles here, not sachets, not seen a sachets in many many years in Wetherspoons

Children are only allowed in Wetherspoons if they are having a meal (ordered from the premises- the sausage roll doesn’t count). Usually the adults have to be eating too although that may vary depending how strict the manager is so I’m very surprised if this is true

It’s Wetherspoons not weatherspoons

Same at all the wetherspoons I've been in no sachets just bottles.

Love the MN snobbery about Wetherspoons.

DD, who can spell, sometimes takes a sachet of sauce away from similar establishments.

Bit cheeky to buy food from somewhere else and take it into a pub to eat.

I'm surprised they let them in with it - I once got turned away from a Wetherspoons because I had some food shopping with me in a bag - no intention of eating it in the pub

You’d hate me I ‘stole’ a wooden spoon from the takeaway yogurt thing in our co op (although to be fair I did tell the lady as I had forgotten to bring cutlery for my packed lunch 🤣)

I bet the horrendously rough couple know the difference between "there" and "their", though.

We overheard someone asking the bar staff at Spoons where they got the bottles of mango chutney as they’d been looking for it for ages. The bar staff told them just to take a bottle or two with them. They really don’t care. 🤣

My DD’s posh university friend did this exact thing the other week. I was a bit 😲 tbh.

Did I tell you about when I liberated a whole catering sized toilet roll from KFC? It was a brilliant score and lucky I had my backpack with me. Well, they should have locked it 🤷🏼‍♂️ plus it was a dirty protest on behalf of the chickens.

Interesting! I thought the sausage rolls were kept behind the counter?

To me, it isn’t snobbery, I just don’t like the views of the owner.

Not all of them. The one near me doesn't have that rule.

People are so quick to judge. You haven't walked in that couple's shoes. They may have been very poor. Or really hungry. They may have only been in Weatherspoons because they had stumbled through a time-portal from Victorian London, and were appalled at the prices. They may have been projections from an alternative reality in which ketchup sachets are sacred artefacts that need to be collected in order to earn additional years of life. It could be anything. You just don't know and yet you judge. People like you discust me. Their. I sed it.

Wetherspoons don't have ketchup sachets! They use full size bottles for ketchup, mayo and brown sauce. The sachets are only for the less popular condiments.
