Ben Loyal Hotel, Tongue - Crap ..................

I've been to Tongue a number of times and stayed at the Tongue Hotel and can fully recommend it. However one night we popped down the road for a beer as you do, the woman in the ben loyal was a right miserable bitch:(.
We had a beer and came away never again!!!

The standard of 'service' in some- but thankfully not all- places in Scotland is worse than a bad joke...

Establishments that survive by the tourist trade here want to take leaf out of the Irish Book of Hospitality.
Some years ago we rocked up to a wee place over there early in the day. The owner said, and I quote:

" Well now, we're not open just yet, but perhaps you'd like a wee drink while your waiting?"

:D

Can I just add that Tongue has the worst public toilet I've ever seen, for a start it didn't have any lighting, then it had one of those horrible metal seats that are freezing cold and could easily lead to piles and off course no bog roll...:mad: I'm quite particular about my bogs..:D

Just as well as they'd be kicking you for calling them Scotch...(which we all know is a drink) instead of Scottish...;) :D
 
Took SWMBO and the kids on a camping holiday up the west coast of Scotland in the
60s. Camped by Loch Maree one night and visited a nearby hotel for drinks. Asked the gentleman behind the bar what time he closed to which he replied 'round aboot Septembertime'

Mandy and I found great hospitality, service and friendliness on our week touring around Scotland last summer. Except for the woman at a B&B in Gairloch who was decidedly odd. :eek

Now that I think of it though, she was a Sassanach. ;)

It seems that there are a number of places in the Highlands that appear to have attended the "School for Surly Service". I had a similar experience in Ullapool a few years ago when about 15 of us turned up for breakfast at a cafe that had just opened. The woman just freaked out and told us to go. It would have been a good start to the takings for the day even if she'd just asked us to sit down and wait for a bit while she made some tea and put some toast on etc.

Shame really!

Resurrected 'cos Blackal did a linky to it yesterday.


Regarding bad service, has anyone had the pleasure of being served by that bad-tempered mare in Ullapool petrol station?

She's that stroppy and ill-mannered it's amusing to watch her, she snatches the notes off you, snaps the price at you and dumps the change back in your hand without any courtesy whatsoever.:D Classic to watch.

Last time I was there it was really busy, there was a queue a mile deep at the till and it was obvious that she was having a 'good day':augie. So when I eventually got to the till I bunged her a £50 note for me £6.50 worth of unleaded.......

...I thought she was going to punch me. I just stood there with my biggest grin on and gleefully told her it was all I had (a complete lie)....

Snatch, slam, grab fistful of change and dump it in hand whilst shaking head and muttering to herself......fookin' classic.:bounce1

I really enjoy my little meetings with her...
 
Is that the big fat English wummin? cause she's always very pleasant tae me:D
Ah reckon you've jist goat wan ow thone faces Klanky :augie

I asked her:

"Is it being so cheery - that keeps you going?" :augie

"Grunt" (accompanied by a face like a bulldog licking piss off a nettle)

You'd think the tourist board would do something about the miserable old bitch :rob
