A few questions for Spirit drinkers and Barstaff

[DaveyD]

Hi all,

I'm currently doing a project at uni, and need to come up with some answers to a few question. The questions are a bit vague/silly, but if you could answer honestly I'd much appreciate it.

These questions only relate to people that buy double shots of spirits from the bar, and also to barstaff that serve these drinks, but I think it may be more

• (Q1) :: Are you answering as a customer or a barman?
  
• (Q2) :: Are you at all bothered having to wait the few seconds it takes for the optic/dispenser to fill up after a shot has been put in the glass?
  (That's valuable drinking time lost )
  
• (Q3) :: Thefore would you be happy to see that time greatly reduced, thus giving you more chance to serve more customers / get more drinks quicker?

Thanks a lot anyway,

Dave

  Customer
  
• (Q2) :: Are you at all bothered having to wait the few seconds it takes for the optic/dispenser to fill up after a shot has been put in the glass?

  No

  Don't really mind.

Only thing I would mention, is the manner in which the questions are asked gives a bias towards answering yes to the second two. E.g. "valuable drinking time", "greatly reduced" etc. To get a true answer from your participants questions should contain as little bias as possible. E.g.

When being served a double from a 25ml dispensor, does the waiting time of the optic refilling bother you?

Would you prefer to see this time reduced?

Yeah, questions are a bit biased, didn't think them out brilliantly, I was still a bit drunk when writing it , but from the answers that are coming out it does show the trend that I was expecting, not really bothering people except for the odd barman. I think it's more to kibblerok's point about having to serve lots of the same stuff from one bottle, and probably only the most annoying when it's a very busy bar/club.

Thanks for the replies so far anyway.

Ex-barstaff

It bothered me a little

Maybe, I wouldn't be that bothered but it would help I suppose.

Sounds like you have an invention, eh?

Kind of but it's all ideas stages and need an invention/product that there is an actual need for, and it's a big group project, with me assigned to this product idea
