Stringfellows Current Line-Up

[Ozzie]

(katoeylover @ Jan. 21 2008,18:45) I agree with Oz, it should be clearly stated what the BF's are. I realise the bar prefers short times as they get their girl back, but they also save on cleaning the ST room.

Why does it have to be so complicated!

OK well after what I saw in Stringfellows tonight I doubt I will be a return visitor. A forum member who was physically abused in the bar the previous night and went in again tonight accompanied by a few of us to talk to Bob to discuss the situation. Bob bascially waved his hand and said I am not interested tell the bar manager.

Well if this is the attitude we get then why should we bother to spend our money there?

just to get a perspective here , would that mean he was painfully topped by an over-eager LB or slugged in the jaw by a drunken stranger? wondering if i need avoid a girl, a bar, or an entire neighborhood.

Never been to Stringfellows without buying at least a few ladydrinks. The attendance you get is always worth the few bucks.

Another thing is why you have to pay 500 whether you use the room or you take her out. But this is obviously common. I remember Tornado Bar and Good Fellas in Soi 6 have the same price policy.

Oh Ozzie

Never let the truth stand in the way of a righteous complaint, I say.

As I heard it- from the receipient- the receipient recieved a slap in the face at 4am in the morning at a Thai Karioke Bar. Not in Bobs bar as you state.

The receipient was with with many ladyboys who were very drunk on whisky provided by the "victim".

What precipitated such behaviour, I really dont know?

Most girls I know like to slap guys faces.

That Bob chose to let his manager deal with the complaint is up to him but I do know that dealing with complaints is written into her, long, complex and very detailed job description.  

On a different note I had a very tearful LB cry in my arms as a result of what she said was her treatment by some Antipedean??  ( My spelling is awful!)
I gave her a good slap!

I apologise for not getting my facts straight. I will endeavour to ensure I dot my i's and cross my t's for you in future.

Since you are the great defender of Stringfellows can you tell why the service girls have the worst attitude amongst any I have seen.

If you call a girl over to talk they are are onto you within seconds telling you, not asking you to buy that lady a drink and when you say sorry I will when I am good and ready you get the biggest scowl and snarl. I also believe there is some sort of drink quota system which is why they are so aggressive?

Bob certainly has some talent in that bar but since I could probably get anyone one of their phone numbers without having to suffer through those annoying service girls and they useless mamasan why would I want to go in there?

Tornado does not have the same price policy it is 300 bar fine and you can use the room and 500 for 2 girls. How do I know this is accurate? I did it yesterday afternoon.

Maybe if they had Thai owners I could understand but the logic of increasing a bar fine if you do not buy a drink and paying the same whether you use the room or not just does not make any sense

The way I see it, it's better for Stringfellows if you use their ST room as that means that the girl will be back to work after you're done. Once a girl is barfined and out of the bar there's no telling when or if she'll be back that night.

So it's a reasonable trade.

I'm no Stringfellows apologist and I've never even met Bob but I will say that my impression is positive overall. I've never had any flack from the service girl and I've only met the mamasan briefly and couldn't even tell you now what she looks like.

I go there to talk to the LBs and to let them convince me to barfine them. If I'm with one I like I'll get her a drink right away and she won't even touch it. I've been at other bars where they drink it quickly and you're stuck buying drink after drink.

What is happening this month that didn't happen last month is that I get a girl on either side of me. That I really don't like as I'm trying to interact with the girl I'm interested in and a second one is a distraction and I'm force to be rude to her and talk to the first one.

It would be far better if you could sit down alone, look around and who's working, and somehow signal the girl you're interested in to come over and the others would stay away.

Sure if a guy sits there a while and doesn't signal anyone then maybe he's too shy or doesn't know the drill so some girl should go sit with him.

I would hope Bob or his manager would talk to the girls and turn the place back into a 'no-hassle' bar. I still enjoy going there but it could be better, as could all places.

Yes, Ozzie was incorrect about where this incident took place - and therefore this post should be withdrawn IMO.  In its present thread it is unfair to the bar.

BTW, the mamasan was very pleasant to me last night .....  and I'm still  in with May too  

Now, can I guess the identity of this Antipodean you refer to, Sombat?

Sometimes i wonder why i give people advice , when they do the exact opposite of what i say * *.

Mr TTChang you have impeccable taste

I don't know why it should be withdrawn as the only part of the story which is not correct is the place where it happened. The other parts are completely accurate as I witnessed it.

Not the exact opposite. I tried your way first, but when the lb´s in question chosed " i not see, i go before she box you" (brilliant, isn´t it), which is a flat out lie, i tried with Bob.

Anyways, it´s solved now, but i can only echo Ozzie´s review of Stringfellows. Great talent but most annoying service girls i ever met.

[monkeyman]

Ah come now Ladyboy's never lie

Ok sorry i doubted you , glad its all resolved , try to keep out of slapping range

It should be withdrawn because the incident happened outside the bar if I am reading this correctly.

You can't expect bar owners (or any employers) to be responsible for the behaviour of their staff outside the work place surely?

[Ozzie]

If you read what I wrote I already apologised for getting my facts wrong about the location of the incident. But the way Bob treated a customer without even knowing what it was about is still an issue, wouldn't you agree?

[stogie bear]

I agree. If it's not on site then why would he care.

Also - Why was anyone slapped? I'll bet there was something that provoked it.
