A bar in eastern China has come up with a novel way of attracting clients - they are allowed to beat up the staff.

I wonder if we could do the same to McDonalds staff over here?

Im pretty certain you could still be charged with GBH/ABH, even if someone gives their consent.

\o/, I'm going to beat up some Chinese people.

(By that I mean, go the the Chinese takeaway tonight and order my usual)

At the end of the day, they should not be putting the message across that beating people up is a way to let off steam.

Maybe it is in China. Stop westernising the poor old Chinese.

I hope the staff are paid well.

Van Hellseek · 7 Aug 2006 at 16:52

are the staff allowed to hit back? they probably only hire huge bouncer types trained in ninjitsu.

sure it's fine to hit them. go ahead... if you want to spend 6 months drinking your food through a straw.

They do in Wigan during the day, all the 50-60 year old bums on the dole go in and drink cider and ended kicking off. Thats what cheap prices does to your pub.
