Qantas Club Dress Standards...Stubbies, singlet and thongs....What the???

[hopes]

Well yes, was in the Bris. lounge late Sunday afternoon last with my wife, could not believe how many yobbo's were there with thongs on and tatty clothing, we looked over at adjacent seat, a YOB lifting his hands up to his head with all of his armpit hair in full view, no thanks,

Was in Brisbane JLounge yesterday and paying more attention than usual noted that the standard was pretty poor all round. Also noted the tipple of choice was the draft from the keg rather than a nice civilised drop from the vine. The fried food also disappeared faster than in other lounges I have had occasion to frequent.

This all very interesting.......really!

I personally think there should be varying degrees of dress codes, to suit varying degrees of quality. If you're at a cheapie eatery with newspaper on the floor of the kitchen (don't laugh, I've been to an excellent Thai like that) then don't whinge when your fellow diners turn up with singlets, shorts and thongs. If you're paying top dollar for silver service, also don't be annoyed at your fellow diners for wearing shorts and t-shirt........be bloody annoyed at the management for discounting THEIR standards for a bit of quick profit.

Trouble with the Q lounges is simply they allow such standards, so why be surprised when thongs appear in the FLounge. If you complain loud and frequently to management, maybe they'll agree with you...........or maybe they won't, and take the slobs cash and put up with the presence.

I'm an in-between. Sometimes I like to go to a nice restaurant, done up to the nines and be generally ripped off with prices, but ripped off in a classy atmosphere, other times I'm perfectly at home in slobsville!

Just to expand on the Thai mentioned above, we couldn't understand why they were taking so long with the drinks.....until we realised they had to wait for some diners to leave, so they could quickly collect the glasses, wash them and then serve us! :shock:
The food was absolutely excellent though and dirt cheap (the dirt must've been off the kitchen floor )

Sorry but as a "mere" beer drinker I fail to understand your apparent "civilised" preference for wine. Perhaps regular beer drinkers might also expect it to be described as "draught"

I am wondering if some posters on this thread look back on some of their posts with embarrassement. (yes I have fallen into this category previously )

TBH... When I read "hopes" post.... I kind of took it a a bit tongue in cheek

I do not think your choice of drink would come into the equation with regard to this thread.

Same here.
But it is funny how tastes change.When i was a young lad the worst thing to call an inebriated person was a "wino".

Indeed.

I have just watched an old episode of the love boat and it struck me that the way they all dressed is exactly what is needed in the JLounge.

As long as there are none of Isaacs moustaches.... They belong in the 70s.

Check out this bogan. Singlet, ripped jeans and thongs in the QP. What is the world coming to??

I'm more concerned that there does not appear to be a glass of anything in the subjects hands. That does make me wonder what the world is coming to.

Dress standards are there for a reason, I cant see any reason why you should not report what Q.Club lounge it was and let QC deal with it. Or at least get a response from them that is acceptable. I like the QC as its usually quiet and lets face it, a little more up market. Isnt that what we pay for???

May I ask, did you request her permission to place her photo on an internet forum and advise her that you intended to defame her as well?

I think her dress etiquette far surpasses your forum etiquette.

EDIT: To clarify - I have no idea who she is.......and I have no connection to her, I just disagree with the placing of her photo here, unless she approved it.

The ONLY conclusion I can come to is tht she is on her way back to the bar for urgent supplies. Her hands are only empty as a trolley would be required to return her empties!

I think you will find that the pic is actually "Lawlass" herself!!:shock:

I think that Anat0l should put this into the next AFF Hunt, picture of a bogan in the QP (must have at a minimum - thongs + singlet)

Either that or her evil twin.


(*Come to think of it, maybe Lawlass is the evil twin :mrgreen

That is not much of a challenge. The first AFF'er in any Qantas Lounge would have the required picture. :mrgreen:

It was 8am in the QP... no bar service, much to the dismay of my travelling companions

This does not bode well for 25 hours in "Y":shock:

Think outside the square!!

Since when has 'no bar service' stopped you? :shock::mrgreen:
