On Episode 3 of Feckology, we discuss the concept of over-friendly waiting staff, who in their efforts to make you feel at ease, can conversely make you feel ill-at-ease. We also cover off other ostensibly customer-friendly measures introduced in recent years in Irish pubs, which only detract from the customer experience.
