Sod that for a game of soldiers
If I buy a sandwich and it comes with salad it's none of their fucking business if you give the salad to a mate or not. And I'd make a point of ordering extra salad.

If I was treated like that anywhere I'd complain to the manager and, if there was no joy, I'd stop going there and go somewhere else instead.

Well this was my fave pub and this guy was only one of the staff who worked there and he didn't serve drinks later in the evening,
and as pubs are very often rules unto themselves and can just bar you for no reason if they like I didn't want to risk the management taking his side.

But this guy was just a bitter little twat basically, you got the impression he hated his life and rather than try and get a little joy into it by being nicer to folks or making a few friends he preferred trying to make himself feel better by just sucking all the joy out of other folks' lives he saw as being 'luckier' than himself.

I'm sure you've met the type, there's always one everywhere you go, some miserable joyless fun vacuum who goes around scowling at anyone who looks too happy, liked or lucky, not realising that if they didn't they could be 'lucky' to get a bit of that too...

I call them
"social vampires", sucking the lifeblood from any sociable situation.
