I have to face up customers sometimes as I would get slapped.If anyone is acting a bit aggressively I just make out I'm harder than I am.
Too many namby pamby she man about for my liking these days.
years ago if say a taxi driver nicked a job off you the threat of a slap sorted it now they would go running to the council like babies.
I'm old school and had a few fights especially on the Football field,yet we would all end up having a beer later.
Sometimes it's down to the beer.
I remember a few years back I was out on my best mates stag do and one of the staff where we worked (a van driver) decided to tip a pint of beer on my head in a club
I snouted him in the nose-he came forward so I gave him another which covered the grooms shirt in his nasal blood
Bouncers removed me quickly
Now on monday morning when the driver came to see me (I was general manager) he had a bit of a red beak but he thought I was going to sack him.
I said of course not it was too much beer for all-was dealt with at the time end of drama.
After that we got on really well.
Thats what would happen in the old days and to be honest it worked.
