Pub Etiquette in Britain
英国的酒吧礼仪
在公共场所,英国人讲究先来后到,但在生意兴隆的酒吧里看不到排队的现象,整个酒吧井然有序。如果有一天你到英国酒吧消遣,你应该注意些什么呢?
Amazingly for British, who love queues, there is no formal line-up-the bar staff are skilled at knowing whose turn it is. You are permitted to try to attention, but there are rules about how to do this. Do not call out, tap coins on the counter, snap your finger or wave like a drowning swimmer. Do not scowl or sign or roll your eyes. And whatever you do, do not ring the bell hanging behind the counter-this is used by the landlord to signal closing time. The key thing is to catch the bar worker’s eyes. You could also hold an empty glass or some money, but do not wave them about. Do adopt an expectant, hopeful, even slightly anxious facial expression. If you look too contented and complacent, the bar staff may assume you are already being served.
Always say“please”and try to remember some of the British bar staffs hates. They do not like people to keep others waiting while they make up their minds. They don’t like people standing idly against the bar when there are a lot of customers waiting for service. And they do not like people who wait until the end of the order before asking for such drinks as Guinness stout which take considerably longer to pour than other drinks. If you follow these tips you should be able to buy yourself a drink. Speaking of tips, you should never offer the bar staff a cash gratuity. The correct behavior is to offer them a drink. Pubs pride themselves on their egalitarian. A tip in cash would be a reminder of their service role, whereas the offer of a drink is a friendly gesture.
Notes

complacent adj. 自满的 idly adv. 无效地;懒洋洋地
stout n. 烈性黑啤酒 gratuity n. 小费

Which statement is true?
A. The British bar staffs dislike people who make up their minds immediately.
B. They like people who can wait in line.
C. They hope people who want to have another drink ring the bell hanging behind the counter.
D. If you offer them a drink to express your tips, they will feel happy.
