A pub-goes in the UK was left confused after spotting a poster in a local bar, that offered poxy incentives for drinking 100, 300 and 500 pints of ale, with questionable prizes.
Sharing a photo of the poster in the local pub, the man said on social media; Surely this isn t a club anybody should join? The poster showed an offer of a membership to three clubs, stating; Club 100, 300, and 500. Sign up to the club. Purchase 100/300/500 pints of guest ale. Claim your prize!
The ultimate prize for sinking 500 pints was a black fleece shirt, emblazoned with 500 Club and the bar´s logo, while drinking 300 pints granted a brown polo shirt and 100 a navy polo shirt with the logo. I wouldn t want to know when I d got to 50 pints, let alone 300! And you only get a poxy polo shirt, said the man, baffled.
Social media users responded, equally unimpressed with the incentives; One thing I absolutely don t want to have a record of is how many drinks I ve had at the same pub, one person explained. Many others found the idea of returning to the same bar taunting; It s the same pub bit that would make it depressing. I ve lived in a few different countries, and returning home after a few years and seeing the same people in the same pub whining about the same things always got me down a bit.
What may have seemed like a clever way to build a community of consumers and make more profit, proved a questionable incentive with prizes that don´t seem to be worth the excessive amount of pints.
