I think this is a contender for the worst opinion column I’ve read this year - completely pointless, irrelevant and
Then why did you post it here?!

There is a possibility - just a small one - that I was a little drunk last night and instead of reading a book and going to sleep I posted things on the internet.
I still stand by the fact even for what's intended to be an amusing article it's a shit one though
It's not irrelevant, it's irreverent. Cmon, it's a joke article. You may be reading a bit too much into it.
I don't like it but I do find it funny when a queue forms. No one wants it, no one planned it, but no one will break order and go straight to the bar. It's one of the few things where we truly are all in it together
I don't know about this "we" - I've never seen it and people would treat you with scorn for even attempting it.
The only knock-on effect of the lockdown is we get a bit of table service if the pub isn't too busy.
I've never seen it either. You'd either get laughed at or lamped.
I've seen loads of claims of this recently, but I haven't seen it happen in one pub I've been too, all up the ramp and waving notes/cards/phones as always.
Is this just happening in hipster pubs up town, or something! Which is why no one but the journalist classes see it, lol.
I've seen it. But only among youngsters who look too young to have been ordering in pubs before 2020.
Bloody Gen Z, ruining everything.
