three shifts? Possible problems with obtaining, paying and retaining staff?
-- I well remember when I was in S. AUSTRALIA in the late 50s./early 60s., (Methodist PM. Playford.), there was then the notorious '
Six o'clock swill.'; pubs
SHUT at
18.hrs. on week-days, so many patrons tried to drink as much as possible before
CLOSING time - standing o'side. a pub. at 18.hrs. was
not recommended with some drinkers spewing-out their guts onto the pavements.
- Beer was served in
1/3pint '
Schooners.' - the rationale being that a drinker would imbibe MORE beer in schooner-form than in the more conventional halves & pints!
- When extended
OPENING hours were mooted we saw the unusual alliance between the Churches with their slogan of '
Down with the demon drink!' while the brewers were whingeing about the costs of INCREASED staffing levels and HIGHER wages' bills!
-- It will be interesting to see how Pattaya's owners will manage?
