Not going to!
Once the pubs re-open here, only about three of the local, central Swansea ones will I'll get to -- and they won't be Wetherspoons!

Not sure how we can boycott this lot of bastards Call centre staff to be monitored via webcam for home-working ‘infractions’

Hmm, the assumption is staff were laid off, some premises remain closed/sold, and now getting ready to open back up what's left. Smells fishy. What's the source?

One of my local (busy) PEs is permanently closed. The news of closures and hiring is everywhere Pizza Express to recruit 1,000 workers months after mass closures

There’s several local take aways that I had never tried before lock down snd will never use again. Not because they’re corrupt (to my knowledge) just really shit

Look out, he's got a gnu!
Pizza Express was, despite solid custom from prince Andrew, struggling before all this.

Funnily enough Mrs Q and I went to Pizza Express yesterdayI've just read this. I've no problem giving back of house more money, but doing it this way is out of order.

This article has however confirmed one thing I have long suspected that card tips don't end up in the hands of the staff which is why I never do it and leave a tip in cash.

becoming harder in a post covid world where card and contactless payments become the norm. The place we went too last weekend automatically added a 7.5% service charge on the bill to cover ‘tips’

I'm enjoying all the local newspaper stories of people waiting four hours for a pint of cider at wetherspoons. Serves you right you bellends.

Setting aside the whole "Paying People a Decent Wage and Including in The Total Price" thing for a moment, that's basically stealing isn't it? Any monies collected via card machines is totally under the control of the restaurant with no guarantee it will be distributed. It's just that Pizza Express have actually confessed to it (must the be royal connection).
I also don't like the idea of mandatory tips, the staff should be paid a decent wage and not have to rely on tips but on top of that, If I'm particularly pleased with the service I have received then it's my discretion to give them something else to boot.
However going forward I can foresee potential problems, yesterday I left approx 10% of the bill in the form of 4 x £1 coins (paid the bill with my smartwatch) These coins have been in my possession since before the first lockdown and I currently have 5 x £1 and 1 x £2 left.
I have used cash to buy something twice since March last year and I can see myself either running out of coins to leave as tips or having to go the bank to stock up which given the nearest branch is now 10 miles away is easier said than done.
I don't think this is real

As things open up It's only now that many dodgy companies are coming out of the woodwork. For simplicity, I took my boy to one before lock down. The service was appalling. Staff accuse Byron burger chain over changes to service charge
