RichM The drinks and especially the wine are fucking awful in these places
Along_the_Wire Not enough Campo Viejo for young Grant!
Along_the_Wire had a decent ipa and negroni there last night, didn’t look at the wine options.
The Ernst and Gallo Zinfandel is a winner
The Hardys chardonnay also sensational.
I wouldn’t trust Grant, this is what he suggested I pair with sea bass…
He told me to pair my roast beef with a Beaujolais a few weeks ago.
Almost fell off my chair.
bosstrabs and “extra” service stations. Beaconsfeld and cobham are my favourites.
bosstrabs but you don’t get taken to a table and can order your chicken chow mien from chopstix and a baked potato with beans and cheese from spud u like, plus a negroni, all from one app and it gets bought to your table. No walking to each place individually and paying at each place separately.
RichM But it’s only a matter of time before that happens at a conventional food court (QR code scanning for orders from different vendors).
There are loads of these setups in malls here in Beijing, I give it about 6 months before places like the Arndale or Trafford Centre are doing the same.
bosstrabs Not sure how long you’ve been out of the country Dave, but been happening for years.
There’s at least 4 in town, can think of 1 in Altrincham, another in Macc.
The future is already here!!!
Actually, for the UK being slow on the uptake with stuff like this, I would say it’s not that the technology’s not there, but people are a bit more resistant to embrace fully cashless, whereas people in Asia just seem to have no qualms whatsoever about doing everything through apps and digital wallets as convenience seems more important to them than all the data issues.
bosstrabs
Yes but people in Asia are also happy to pay to fuck 14 year olds and call it legal. Aren’t they David? Or maybe we are just slow on the uptake?
bosstrabs The US as well, pretty backward when it comes to digital payments. India has been on UPI for about 5 years now, can pay for anything with my phone now.
Thanks Dave.
Smallman1 Thanks Dave.
Smallman, what would you be doing in life, if you weren’t a complete cretin?
bosstrabs what would you be doing in life, if you weren’t a complete cretin?
Ledging the bants and being front and centre with my top off.
Oh Ian McBanter, he’s the bantiest Ian in toon!
Imagine if you got paying for minors and miners mixed up! You’d find yourself in a right old pickle. Reckon you’d still indulge.
When do you create a sockpuppet to attack Smallman and log in and out of that and your regular account, conversing with yourself for a whole year again, Ian?
👌🏼
zackster that would make a lively starter for a 3 course meal
