H'mmm if the OP genuinely 'didn't have the time', you have to ask why, and which priorities should have been followed and how they were supposed to know the priorities. You can only take responsibility for that which you control, so if the dray arrived at 11am whilst the morning rush was on, and they were told they must always be behind the bar and serving, then I would argue they they were doing what their employers asked them to prioritise. Not physically being in 2 places at the same time is inconvenient, but not necessarily OP's fault.

Your post is entirely supposition, of course. The OP didn't say that he had to be elsewhere, rather that he simply didn't have time to check the load. Where does it say he had to be behind the bar or that it arrived at 11am? Was he completely alone? Was there no one else to handle bar duties? Was there no one else to check the load?

This doesn't look like a thread where the OP will return to clarify any of these points...

They are apparently checking if the supplier has any undelivered items and if they don't I have to pay for the missing items.

For clarity, as it has been supposed in post #2, do you actually mean YOU have to pay for it out of your wages? Or do you mean the pub still has to pay for it?

Absolutely it's speculation, just broadening the speculation from some other speculation above to a case where it may produce a different response. We're all just guessing, naturally!
