Sands bar(max's bar)

[timknight]

We were there for the footy, and were treated very well. The beer went down a treat too, a shame the lads on the pitch couldn't do better. We didn't try to eat, as we thought it looked busy. We will definately visit the bar for food and a few drinks the next time were over though.

Max does a bloody good job we have never had any problems, i do know there was a certain group who felt they didnt need to pay for their drinks and clearly left without paying. come on you guys max has to make a living

Aha - I remember that night - first England game and a load of ex-pats (10 or 12) sat eating and boozing - a real blow out! Lobster was taken to their table and we thought it would be bloody expensive, even at Max's prices! Then they all seemed to have their own bill, ordered beers and shorts like there was no tomorrow. The waiters didn't know what was going on with all the separate orders and people coming and going at the table all night. It was very busy and we had to wait about 45 mins for our meal - no problem under the circumstances.

Then after the game we saw them all get up and leave and Maggie commented that it looked like some had just walked off without paying (they were right in out eye line so we couldn't miss them really)

That sort of customer you can do without Max. Those that pay their bills are the ones you want!

That's disgusting. How can people do that. Bet they wouldn't even consider trying to do it in the UK, so why do they think it's acceptable in Turkey. MUPPETS !!!!

[Scunner]

It's one of the amazing things about Turkey - as a complete stranger you are trusted from the first ever meeting. There is nothing much in it for the bar, this great gesture means they at best get what is owed to them and at worst lose out in a big way.

I hope Max remembers them, I'm sure their paths will cross again.

The thing is when I spoke to Max about this (there was a misunderstanding the next day and his brother Fuat thought some of our neighbours were the ones who hadn't paid and I went down to explain what had happened and that they were not with the group but just sat at the end of their table due to it being so busy) he was not prepared to upset these ex-pats even though he had a fair idea who had not paid. I guess he put it down to experience and would make sure his staff were more clued up next time.

I know times are hard but it's a written rule that you pay for your beer and food.

Good to see your still stessing out. You can't please everyone but you will always try. I still haven't put the pictures on, but I will.  
Your regulars will still come and pass on the good word, they did before.
We wish you the best of luck and hope to see you soon.
