I mostly return empty glasses to the bar when leaving my local, sometimes they say thanks but sometimes they're too busy to notice.
Just something I do.
Most of the staff I talk to whinge about the sheer lack of manners and downright rudeness they encounter from customers. Most don't even say please or thanks or even ask for what they want in a decent fashion..."I'll grab a middie".........and that's exactly what they do. Grab it and walk away.
Try working at any job dealing with them and you'll soon find out.

Back in the days when there were busy wharves at Hamilton and the Hammo was a wharfies pub, anyone who took glasses back to the bar would be chipped. "One man, one job, mate. That's the glassies job. Let him do it."Originally Posted by ATH

You still have potmen downunder?

No Laurie, our blokes pick up all size glasses.

The term 'potman' is not used in this country. in the context to which you refer. I think all classes have to be machine washed but larger kitchen items may still be hand washed, in small pubs, by a kitchenhand.

I take you know Lulla Wilson? Just asking . Bob
I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food
A bookshop is one of the only pieces of evidence we have that people are still thinking

Lulla, Lukie Lake, and another whose name has faded used to run the raffles at the Hammo for the Wharfies RLFC and Mt. Olivet Hospital. In his later years Lulla drank at the Brekkie Creek.
Lulla and 36 gang. Waterfront legends. Hard men moulded in hard times. They didn't bar anyone. Coppers, customs men, pannos all got a touch up if they needed one. A few pannos went for an involuntary swim off a wharf for making arses of themselves in the eyes of the wharfies. The caper they pulled on one very unpopular panno has achieved legendary status on the waterfront. He was a stevedore foreman at Dals and was intensely proud of his new car. He knew how unpopular he was and feared the wharfies might do something to his pride and joy so used to bring it onto the wharf and park in a shed where he could keep an eye on it. The Trader boat, ro-ro to Port Moresby was about ready to pull up the ramp and depart. The wharfies put on a diversion and others hot wired the car and quickly ran it onto the ship with the connivance of the seamen and sent it to Port Moresby.
