Message: <blockquote data-quote="Scouser58" data-source="post: 763993" data-attributes="member: 103830">Hello to all, yes the problem of the post mix dispensers is just that, the buttons are close together and the bar staff get used to the same button.I use to work as a bar maid and heard one other girl say, that she had given ordinary coke to someone who had asked for diet, and then when she was asked, said yes it was diet.....When I heard this I told her off, and pointed out that the person might have been a diabetic and the ordinary coke could make them ill, so I said that she should have checked the coke, and offered the bottled diet coke, she did not seem very bothered by the whole issue.I agree you should see the container, to keep your mind at ease, but some pubs don't allow the bottles to pass over the bar, in glasses only(worked in this type of pub as well).I think that if the problem is causing diabetics problems then the bar manager must be told and do retraining, and buy the post mix syrup and make sure that it is always available, failing that trading standards should be informed at it can become a health and safety issue, making diabetics ill, is not wanted, ttfn from Karen</blockquote>
