Told off for swearing

RuthnJasper

I'm guessing that the swearing was pretty extreme - what employee on a break wants to start a row with a punter?!

OP - behave like a human being and clean up your language.

Next you'll be saying this is acceptable!

I don't swear very often, but I would be a bit miffed if I was told off for swearing in a pub. If pubs started banning people for swearing they would end up pretty empty.

I'd imagine that a lot of places overlook it later in the evening, but during daylight hours it's less acceptable. I, too, wouldn't be fussed at what I heard if I was out with my friends in the evening. I'd be annoyed if I was having lunch or coffee during the daytime and heard someone clearly incapable of reigning in their potty-mouth.

I don't suppose that there is a sign that says "No p**ing on the carpet" either. But you know that you shouldn't do it.

So that's why I keep being asked to leave shoe shops!

You haven't named the pub. Just remind us where it is so that we can avoid it next time you and your mate go out.

They also pointed out that their rules were that staff should take their breaks AWAY from customers which he clearly did not.

"Clearly did not" but you stated:

and sits down on a table near us, a few foot away.

So in your own words, he was away from you.
When they refer to staff having to take their breaks away from customers, they probably mean that they don't want them sitting at the same table or interacting with them whilst sitting at the bar.

Not to mention it is a criminal offence (s5 Public Order Act 1986) - try swearing at a copper and you'll be in the back of a van before you can say "Excuse me officer, may I finish my meal"
