A pub chain has issued a response to social media speculation that it plans to introduce single file queuing at its venues across the UK to appease Gen Z drinkers.
Rumours had been circulating that Wetherspoons would be introducing the new system after a sign appeared at one of the chain’s pubs in south London, requesting customers to form an orderly, single-file queue at the bar.
The sign claimed that forming the queue would allow staff to provide a fairer service to customers.
The post regarding the sign garnered significant attention online after it was claimed claimed the system was put in place “to help Gen Z drinkers”.
However, a spokesman for the major pub chain has moved to debunk rumours that the system could be introduced in Gedling borough.
He said: “The system was put in place at one pub for one football match, and in that pub, it has now gone back to normal.
“There is no queuing system in place at Wetherspoons pubs in Gedling borough or the rest of the UK.”
