Beer please, imbecile!

Blistering barnacles! A Spanish bar is allowing customers to vent their frustrations by hurling abuse at their staff.

A Spanish bar is encouraging clients to insult its staff and offering free drinks for original or hilarious abuse.

"When you come in after work, you can say swear at them and call them bastard or imbecile," said client Antonio Ossa, who told state news agency EFE the promotion by the "Casa Pocho" bar in the southern town of Cullera near Valencia seemed like a good idea to him.

Polish-born bar owner Bernard Mariusz said he thought people needed somewhere to release their frustrations at a time of economic crisis, employing the Spanish language's rich store of earthy obscenities.

"That way they won't let it out on their family," he said.

Is this not already taking place in SA at a rate of knots? @#$%&*!

- None

Seriously?? Won't the waiters get tired of all this abuse being hurled @ them? Won't they eventually shout back out of frustration?

As long as they pay the poor waiters a, shall we say 'abuse allowance' that is tax free!

rather odd idea, but hey, if it works and the client enjoy it, then go for it. plus it can turn into a pub competition, 'who can hurl the best abuse', like darts, just without the pointy bits

I ques this is part of the cultural revolution and innovative way of allowing burnt-out customers to ventilate. I wonder how much more does one pay for a beer in this bar? A fortune for sure. Justifieble really. Keep it up.
