Barrings

4 pubs in the last week, including 1 with threatened violence.

How do you deal with it, I'm talking verbally.

Anyone fight fire with fire with any success? I quite fancy telling the next person to do one back behind the bar and if they say anything to me again they'll eat hospital food for the next month!

I'd estimate somewhere between 10 and 20, as i've mentioned elsewhere Everards seem to be a particular problem recently, at least todays barring came before i played it, the worst thing is power cuts during play! I usually send someone else in anyhow, me and my mate have resorted to only one of us going in at a time in fire pubs, theres no point in both of us going in and getting barred together, gets us twice the amount of hits, all though they are usually looking out for it more when one of us gets our marching orders.

Didn't vote as I'm not full time-ish. But been in a few pubs and nowt just yet. Just one arcade. What exactly was the threatened violence and where? I'm not great on machines but I'd love to rattle the landlords cage. I'm not great on fruits, but by clattering a large bank, even picking up coins and hurling em into the tray! Love to wind the clueless proprietors up!

Huge heat in the first pub of the day, made £45 on a stakes and prizes, heat caused by them never floating it over £100 (and usually a fair bit
less) which meant that when I got icons last time, it IOUd. Getting fucked off with it all now.

I'm not full time so I'm not voting. I have 2 jobs but still manage to fit at least 3 runs in were I can. But had this hi lo in a quiet little pub used to go in with the girlfriend. But they plugged it just as they served me. Iv only had 2 hits before but always got it off £10 in. I asked if I could have a go. He replied with something like 'it was error 14 coin mech jam' .. Must think am daft. Anyway sent a mate 'who has never played a fruit in his life' in the next day bought a pint the man raced him to the machine and plugged it. So I'm passing it on to a close mate see what he can come up with! That's the only time I think.

Despite the £270 rep, I believe it gave a 2 part tarquin, 3 if u count the bonus £40 from LES!!! No doubt some Vicky?
