As for landlords not helping you there is a lot more to running a pub than most people think. I did it for nearly 8 years and unless its my last option I won't be going back thanks. When a landlord pays you to work it is costing them money out of their pocket. In this case if I was paying someone to do that work I too would make the most of the time. It is a long time since a landlord could afford to pay someone to run the pub 7 days a week without doing any of the work themselves. |
I have no objection to cleaning the things you mention, but when the landlord is stood at the end of the bar watching a queue form for drinks, and the phone rings and he tuts and says 'are you answering that or what?' it becomes a bit of a joke, added to that he spends as much time as possible telling anyone who will listen that they are losing money hand over fist yet thinks nothing of covering every shift with staff, (even at the quietest times) and then putting a sign on the door saying they won't be opening 'til 3pm Mon - Fri as they are trying to save on gas and electric!
I agree that its not easy to run a pub, but I would expect to assist the landlord not do his job for him as was required at the Park.
