| The staff are inconsistent and bitchy. There are far better places to go in the area that don't exhibit unnecessary attitude. patrick0 - 16 Dec 2007 13:16 |
| I used to love the Friendly Society. True the drinks are very expensive, but the atmosphere is funky and the DJ's are excellent. Sadly however i shall not be returning to Friendly after my experience there last night. I was crossing the floor of the bar when a member of staff looked me up and down and yelled "I think you better leave now" to which he then proceeded to laugh. He then quickly added "I am only joking with you". Sadly I don't think he was joking or I would have laughed with him! I am intelligent enough to recognise when a b*tchy little upstart of a queen is giving me his attitude or not. As uncomfortable an experience like this was for me, my question is, Does this employee's attitude and behaviour towards customers represent the company image, moreso it's name? I think the answer is a resounding NO. Fortunately for me, I can use the power of my own money and I will be taking my business and purchases elsewhere. I hope the owners and management of 'Friendly' access this review. Nobody likes a put down comment. As comical as it sounds, it was like experiencing an 'Ugly Betty' moment. If this sort of behaviour continues, then Friendly Society will ultimately be the biggest loser. Enough said. fortitude - 10 May 2007 10:48 |
| this bar is friendly as its name suggests, and i've been many times... however on a recent visit on a sunday night, there was perhaps no more than a dozen people and then for some reason a DJ arrived and put on music at a volume level which was about double what was comfortable. the fixtures were shaking and it was not pleasant, so i ended up leaving and i've struck it off the list lex1 - 7 Dec 2006 15:15 |
