What do folks think of the typical bar staff in Ireland?

Is it as bad in Dublin as it is (mostly) in Cork.

"A bottle of wha?"
"Schneiderweiss Original"
"we don't have tha"
"yes you do, it's in the fridge behind you"

familiar?

[quote:258ksa0m]familiar?[/quote:258ksa0m]Yes, but I think it's more to do with my accent ^^
- Pint of Guinness please.
- Pint of wha ?

Slightly different angle here but I asked for a pint of Galway Hooker while ordering some food from a waitress in the porterhouse a while ago. The conversation went like this:

Me: <blah blah food>...and a pint of Galway hooker please.
Her: No...Sorry.
Me: eh???
Her: Just what's shown in the beer menu here..(helpfully pointing to said menu)
Me: So do you not have Hooker or....??
Her: (blank expression)
Me: Coz people are drinking it downstairs...
Her: ............OK then.
Me: <!-- s:shock: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_eek.gif" alt=":shock:" title="Shocked" /><!-- s:shock: -->
Me: I can go down and get one myself if you'd like?
Her: No that's fine.. I'll go downstairs......(and my favourite line)... it's just that I don't usually....
Me: Erm... cheers...

Otherwise I find most barstaff, in the pubs i'd frequent at any rate, to be pretty good. Though maybe that's why i frequent those places. <!-- s:) --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s:) -->

good barstaff are as important to a pub as the beer they serve in my opinion

maybe thats why the Porterhouse Temple Bar is shite these days <!-- s:( --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_sad.gif" alt="" title="Sad" /><!-- s:( -->

ah, it's not just me then!!
