This is a subject I posted on Oscar earlier...but I want more people to be aware.
I wasn't sure whether it belonged on this thread...whats Llandudno like right now, or policing matters!
But here goes.
Word has reached me that on Thurs night a policeman entered the Fat Cat bar and told them that they had to stop their 'but one get one free' cocktail offer which has been in force for at least 2 years to my knowledge.
He said it was 'irresponsible' ... so the offer was pulled.
Well, how can this be?? There is no law (as I understand it) that has been passed on this, and at £6.50 per drink its hardly going to encourage binge drinking because lets face it, its still not cheap!
I wonder if this officer is also going to call in on Cost Cutter? Wetherspoons? and even ASDA .... you can find a whole lot of cut price booze in those places. Of course not, these are national chains and too much like hard work.
This is a real threat to Fat Cat's business, which is a well run establishment. It is quiet enough these days without this.
How are businesses supposed to survive when petty and ill-judged actions like this can undermine their efforts?
If I had been the bar manager that night, I would simply have noted the officers objection, and referred it to head office.
Because Fat Cat's is also part of a chain, albeit a small one.
This is a real threat to Fat Cat's business.
