Some pub chains are introducing surge pricing, where drinks are more expensive during busier periods and cheaper when it’s quieter, do you think it could affect your pub visits?

00:00A lot of people stop going to the pubs because of the prices going up.
00:03A lot of people go on this Friday or Saturday night
00:06and that's when they get the most sales,
00:07but if the prices are going up, more people are going to stop going.
00:10I think, say you're going out with your mates on a Friday,
00:13I think that wouldn't be the best thing when it's busy,
00:15you know, everyone's going out.
00:16But then again, I do understand why they're doing it,
00:18because obviously, you know, because you live in crisis,
00:21prices need to be up sometimes.
00:23But then again, I think maybe there could be
00:25a different approach they could take for that.
00:26It's just not a really fair way to, like, make business happen or work.
00:31Things are more expensive now,
00:32so I can kind of understand why they're doing it,
00:34especially, like, local, family-owned ones.
00:39I reckon it would kind of, like, spread out at times as well,
00:42and I guess if you've got a more consistent,
00:45smaller number of people, that's better for, like,
00:48earning money than having no space for people,
00:51because they all turn up at the same time.
00:53That might just give you, like, a bad name and stuff,
00:55and people might just start boycotting you because of a shady practice.
