Pinching pub glasses?

[Martynt74]

The pub I work in actually charges you a five pound deposit if you want to take a glass outside. It's a mad policy, and something I totally disagree with. Also if you want a litre stein it's ten pound deposit. Sure, they are unique glasses but surely there weren't that many going missing...

Theres a pub in Manchester who have a supply of crocs behind the bar and if you order a beer with decent glass (usually something Belgian like Orval etc) then you have to give them a shoe as a deposit.

They found people would just treat it as paying for the glass if it was a monetary deposit and they're the type of bar who self the beer in the proper glass so always found themselves short.

Only acceptable to do if it's it's so big as to make it an achievement 4 pint pitchers yards of ale weird cocktail glades pints/normal glasses don't count

When I was at college:

Red Bull Pitcher/Jug
A set of 4 Ol Meca Tequila martini style glasses.

Smashed one of the tequila ones and have never seen them again

I have had some pub glasses on the odd occasion, especially is there where loads of glasses present on the table.

I've got one of those Cidre glasses. They just looked nice so I nabbed one, it was justice though, the pub was rubbish!

My mate once nicked a salt and pepper pot.

I tried pinching one from a pub in Wales whilst utterly wasted, but immediately got caught. I managed to convince the barmaid that in London they let you take one home at the end of the night (glass, not barmaid) and I found it very surprising that they didn't have the same tradition in Wales.

She let me take it in the end, no idea where it is now though

Honestly, if I've wanted a glass from a pub I've usually just asked them.

Most times they've just said go ahead. 2 have even gone as far to say they'd go get me one out of the dishwasher rather than take home the used one.
