Shame there's so many anti-union, and presumably right-wing posters here who will still defend Brewdog.
it will be interesting to see what people think when its bee open longer than 24 hours!

No. If the bar was full, then security wouldn't have let in to begin with. More likely security were told to kick out anyone with a leaflet.

It says they were onto him as soon as he went through the door.
Even if it wasn't full, the fact that even that guy was keen to go in and buy a drink shows how wide the appeal of Brewdog is.

Because of what he was holding. Normally when a place is full, the staff will stop you from crossing the threshold, they don't kick you out after the fact of entering.
Is that why he was going in there? How do you know?

Why else would he be going in?

There are perfectly valid reasons to visit a business without necessarily patronising it. Meeting someone for example, or making an enquiry. Or maybe it's not his personal choice to visit, but he's doing it because it's required by his job or vocation. Unless that rando on Twitter has actually explained why he's visiting, any reasons are going to be speculative.

Well if course we can't know for sure. But any reasonable person would surely agree that on the balance of probabilities this is quite a strong indication that this new bar is going to be popular with anarchists and the like. I expect they are drawn to the "punk" aspect of the marketing, and maybe also the slide.

I reckon "to buy a drink" would be the top answer of "reasons why people go into a bar", on Family Fortunes.

Your definition of "reasonable person" is completely fucked. Reasonable people don't extrapolate based on a single Twitter post.
teuchter

I guess that anyone extrapolating that the reason he was thrown out was that he was holding a leaflet is unreasonable then.

You've now switched to talking about what happened to one person, so that's no longer an extrapolation.

Blimey, that's a bit radical.

Speculation then.
It's just a shame that a misjudgement by security operatives might have killed the bar's potential as a favoured hangout of anarchists and other radicals.

I don't think it was a misjudgement by security at all. Why would they give a shit unless their paymasters told them to?

I think you'll find the beer, the prices, the company ethos and the daytime presence of bouncers did that anyway. And with better pubs ita anyway why @ists would need to resort to it I don't know

I don't know of any other pubs in the area with a slide.

It seems you have speculated your way to some conclusions about what the instructions from their paymasters were. Were those instructions "throw out anyone holding a leaflet"?

Still amazed at the right wing posters here supporting and promoting an anti-union, multi-national company with a truly appalling record on bullying, harassment and intimidation - and making female staff members feel uncomfortable.
Still, at least you know where they stand on such issues.

Sure, why not? They're a bunch of union-busting cunts so they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt.

In my opinion, such a policy would be a misjudgment, and I'm not sure why others seem to disagree.

...But only if you aren't holding any leaflets they don't like.
