Angela, doh!

I've asked the editors to amend your heading, TTT.

As I didn't know about about it until I read that article earlier today then I reckon most of the public don't, including new bar staff; and even a short training session to new staff is likely to be forgotten given that asking for someone seems a fairly normal thing to do anyway, so it may not trigger anything. Hardly surprising then that it ain't taken off well. (The managers not being aware sounds like a corporate failure though.)

 

Why did they not make the blatantly obvious choice of choosing a trigger word that could not get uttered in any usual circumstance, and which would inevitably trigger recognition ? But no, they had to stick to the xxxx's law type naming convention.

What if they actually have a barmaid called angela?

In the women's loos there are usually posters letting you know that the pub you are in has signed up to the 'Ask for Angela' scheme.

It must be a bit alarming to try to utilise this only to find out that the bar-staff don't have a clue what you are on about.

Of course.

If a guy is getting threatened, no information for them then. They just need to man up, if that's what they are.
