A former Wetherspoons barmaid has shared a secret about working at the chain - and it might have made you spend more money. The pub worker revealed the sneaky trick as part of a new documentary about Wetherspoons on Channel 5.
Sophia Nasif, who used to work at Wetherspoons full time, said there was one trick bartenders used to tempt customers into spending more money. She revealed that when pouring someone a spirit and mixer, she used to offer a ‘double’ before offering a ‘single’.
This apparently tempts those buying drinks into opting for the double - and the trick was has been backed by psychologists who specialise in consumer behaviour as well as fellow former exployees of the pub chain.
