According to their Facebook page, The team behind Floritas, Baby Lynch and Madame Koo are looking for shooter girls to sell drinks to their customers.
What are they thinking?! These places are supposed to be classy bars, and now it looks like they are following the trend of the lower class bars by having people come round and annoy you and pressure you into buying more drinks.
I personally HATE these kinds of things bars do. You are the customer, and have chose their establishment out of many that are in Newcastle. You buy their drinks, but now that is not enough for them. They now have people going around trying to sell you more. Shots are cool! I love them. Sambuca, Jagermeister, Tequila, i love drinking shots. But, if i want one, i know where the bar is. Why do the bars feel the need to have this kind of gimmick.
They do have their place. I can understand them being in a place such as City Vaults, Chase and ‘fun bars’; But The bars on The Diamond Strip are supposed to be more upmarket, and have class. There is nothing upmarket about having a girl come round trying to sell you something.
One of the good things about these bars is that they dont (or didnt) have girls coming round bugging you and interrupting your night. That seems to have now gone, and these three bars are now copying the trend which is the shot girl.
Hi
i really object to this piece on this website!!! whats is this guys problem with shooter girls??? they offer a service to your table/group so you can avoid que`s, and enjoy the shots that you claim to love!!!! whats the difference between people selling shots out on the seating area and regular table sevice??? its all the same thing! Is it the fact that your against the girls in “skimpy” uniforms?? would it be different if they were in a bar uniform??? you really need to relax n enjoy your nights out!!
Hello Barry,
Thank you for reading the blog. If you read the actual post (which you dont seem to have done) it has nothing to do with the girls in particular.
You say i need to “relax and enjoy” my night out…Well if you care to read the post properly you will see that is exactly what i am complaining about. A few years ago you could go to the majority of bars and have a drink, and now in some places you do that, then you have girls going around trying to sell you more; So much for bars not wanting people to get drunk!
How can i relax on a night out if i go out, socialise with my friends when i get bugged to buy a shot….like i have said if i want one i will go to the bar. Some girls are worse than others, really bugging you to buy one, not to mention the guilt trips they try.
Some places as i mentioned above portray being a “classy” establishment…There is nothing classy about the shooter girls and the way they try to pursuade you to buy a shot.
