Had enough

Iv had enough of...

£1.42 a litre of fuel
Getting barred for losing on a machine (how does that work)
Bar staff that play the machine and get cashpot of peanuts
Bar staff that play the machine then bar you as you win and they lose.

Stupid lanlords, Last week i checked a mega i orded half of fosters and put a pound in the machine the pots were shite i got a board of my pound and collected £2. i then drank half my drink went outside and put the other half in the flower pot and got in the car. Only for the lanlord to come out and write the number plate down, I had to laugh when trying to tell him i was down 40pence!!!!

Yesterday i played a mega in a village pub 25p cashpot was on a score, 50p cashpot was on £66 and the £1 cashpot was on £30, played the cashpot up to 70 on 50p and no phones yet so switch up to a pound thats now up to about 39 whan i get phones... switch back to 50p and about 5 shit boxes before it offers cashpot. Back up to a pound for a board, It puts cashpot in the box, Ok a little bit up on it atm and think il do ok on it, Next game is a 6 and 1p start i dead at £3 and it repetes. It then decides to take 60 back for fones and i decide to take the 35 box. And call it a day.

A few weeks ago i made just under 1300 on an 18hour route then the next 4 or 5 days settled with 100 for each days work, Then i go out lose on evry machine end up 80 down on the day and im fuming, I cant handle the stress this area dont help i lost 70 on a perfect next fruit was a p2 leps got 2 out of it before getting barred. I have been barred from a fair few pubs recently. Yesterday i found a working pacman it offerd £10 1st board then decided to take 68 for the feature, Still there sack it off for 30quid then it wont go red lol, 41 back to get it red.. 2 JACKPOTS IN A FIRE PUB AND ONLY JUST COVERD DRINKS, PROBLY BE BARRED NEXT TIME...

Is it me or does anyone else get this constant shit???

Your age won't help ya mate, I rarely seem to get any heat and I put it down to being mid 30's so you get a bit more respect than if your 1 of the young brigade.

But that mega with half a fosters, you may aswell have walked in wearing a T-shirt saying I'm a player on. I know time is money and all that but if you want to keep a place sweet you've gotta look like a customer not a player.

A trick I use is to dive the toilet whilst they're pouring the drink, that way they might think you just nipped in to use the toilet and felt compelled to buy a drink.

Yeah, then you come back from the toilet to find the machine off lol.

If I went in check a mega and had to get a drink I would always get a pint. If when checking the pots and there good, then what would do?
Sit there, hammer the fruit, after getting half a pint

or go back to the bar and get a pint, what would raise a eyebrow or 2.

If im working in my area in an estate pub il always get a vodka and coke , This pub was hungry horse. Not the kind of place you would expect such fire..

You can't always get a pint anyhow. What if you're on your own and driving and you have 5 or 6 Megas to check. Odds are that most of the cashpots are low so I'm really not going to get a pint. Unless it's a rough estate pub then yes you feel you have to.

how do you go about disposeing it without drinking it? going o the toliet with a pint looks a bit dodgie.

I kick off with 'What flavour crisps/peanuts you got?' and let them give you the whole rundown. Buy crisps then almost as an afterthought ask for a lemonade/cup of coffee/whatever.
