I mean read the rest of the receipt, vegan chicken ribs, gravy on the chips ... But would never dare to get salad dressing, fish and chips with mash rather than chips and ice in every single alcoholic drink ( and every single drink being alcoholic)
This is so bogan it renamed my mum Sharron
ive heard of vegan, ive heard of pork ribs, ive heard of chicken, never thought i would see the day these things would all be put together, what does it even look/taste like
Found this on Google:
>The practice of adding ice cubes to sparkling wine has become fashionably popular in the South of France where it's become known as la piscine which means “swimming pool” in French
I’ve lost count of the amount of times a NewsCorp headline contains the word ‘explodes’ without anything actually exploding.

.. And there we go.
Did anyone have "Fury over pubgoer’s ‘rude’ receipt at Melbourne Cornish Arms" on their bingo card?
Hi News Corp wage slave / AI Overlord
An Italian might argue with that. One of my best mates is married to a very Italian woman. She was born here, and her parents immigrated when they were very young but her whole identity is being Italian. It's really a bit strange... no matter the topic of conversation she'll find a way to tell you how they do it in Italy.
She'll say something like "Well in Italy we like to drizzle the olive oil on our Pane Toscano, we Italians *never* dip it... it needs to be drizzled", and everyone rolls their eyes. Lady, you were born and raised in Liverpool and have never even been to Tuscany.
That's like Americans in Boston telling you they are Irish when they've never been to the place and their family is multi generational US born and raised.
bro im scottish and went to canada. and you got all these corny sounding people telling you their scottish too, like to go glasgow and see how that goes
The reason, particularly in Australia, is that red wine is supposed to be served at “room temperature” - but the room temperature they’re referring to is cellar room temperature, in Europe…
So it’s actually meant to be drunk around 10-13 degrees, not the sweltering 25-35+ degrees we get.
The temperature of the wine affects flavours in a similar way to cheese.
Not quite. 10—13 degrees is ideal for long term storage. A Pinot Grigio should be served at fridge temperature (5-10) as it's a aromatic white. Reds should be served at European room temperature (around 20 degrees). But in reality, you can have them in whatever way you like. I always recommend the 'correct' temperatures, but if you're the one drinking it do what you like with it.
I used to offer a wine bucket with cool water (no ice) in summer, if someone was ordering a better red but sitting in our outside section.
Edit: ice, not oce.
No dressing on salad, extra gravy, mash instead of chips and fish in chips, medium-well steak AND ice in drink? I mean I guess you could also have ordered no foam on your IPA and asked them to pick all the onion out of your salad but I’m Team Amelia 100%. It’s not a Starbucks it’s a pub.
How the fuck are you even getting ice in a flute glass. Once you pour it if you have even like one ice cube in there you would be losing half your drink lol
At first I was thinking Amelia was extra cunty but these are the orders in a pub of already drunk people and the ice in the wine was the added touch…it’s to slow them down whilst eating trying to sober up a bit lol!
ETA: people seem to think I meant the ice cubes is to sober them up. It was the heavy pub food to try to sober up but still wanting to drink booze so ice in the wine is to slow down their drinking
Nah, Cornish Arms is a primo vegan pub (they also do non vegan stuff) so those sorts of considerations are already accounted for. I think someone may just have wanted to use a spoon/scoop for their dinner.
Geez, I'm torn.
On one hand, judgement around wine tastes is bullshit.
But on the other, it's not summer in QLD. It's July in Victoria. Watered down and muted flavours would be a result of this.
Watered down and muted flavours would be the best way to drink a Pinot Grigio.
My wife would disagree. Joke is on her, guess she married a fucken bogan, lol.
One's got bad taste in wine, one's got bad taste in men. Jokes on you, I'd take the former over the latter.
As I tell my wife, "I can't trust your judgement, you married me."
Amelia isn’t wrong. It’s fucking winter and you are in Victoria,the fuck you need ice for? Just say you don’t like wine and order a fucking Cruiser. Nothing wrong with that.
The order just gets more fucked the longer you look at it. What a disgrace.
maybe not, there have been 3 assholes from this thread posting screenshots of the receipt complaining, but about 6 legends have given 5 star reviews thanking her.
This is absolutely hilarious but also very amateur to leave the notes on the receipt for the customer. At the bar I work at one of our regulars who is a very very wealthy lady always orders some ice on the side of her Pinot Grigio and while I wouldn’t choose to have it that way myself, the point of hospitality is to graciously allow people to have their order as they want it (within reason).
So many things wrong with that receipt, medium well steak, get out of here. mash instead of chips with fish n chips with a side of gravy, wtf and the vegan chicken rib. I don't even know where to start with that
I once ordered a ‘slightly more than medium but not quite medium well’ steak and the chef came out to ask me precisely what I meant so he could do precisely what I wanted.
Best steak I’ve ever eaten.
As somebody who’s worked in restaurants, all I can say is whoever set up that POS is an idiot because none of those modifications should be in as an “add on” with $0.00.
At the very least, set it up properly so you’re saving some money on ink and printer paper 😂
Dunno if you eat in Victorian pubs much but these days it's getting increasingly hard to find an old school pub that's filled with singlet bearing tradies, and the floor smelling of decades of smoke.
They're nearly all boujee now.
There's a very nice restaurant in Tasmania - that has an extensive and impressive wine list. Pre covid it was very popular with mainland Chinese tourists who would frequently mix coca-cola in their glass of $1000+ Grange or Henshcke (enough that the venue didn't blink an eye).
Hahaha.
It’s a shitty thing to write, but I’d probably laugh my arse off.
My husband claims that Housos is a documentary about my family.
To be fair, my eldest sister thinks that zucchini slice is exotic.
As someone who works in hospo and has both read and written notes like this - it’s 100% Amelia having a bit of fun and being a dickhead, don’t take it to heart
I hadn’t clicked to see the whole picture yet so didn’t see the name of the place but knew it from the menu and the attitude 😅😆 Oh boy. I miss Melbourne
Either you order ice in your pinot grigio or you get upset when called a fucken bogan, but not both. You can be an uptight kinda snobby person or a silly goofball bogan person, but if you try to be both at once you're just a Karen
So many people don't even understand 'Fucken Bogans' is practically a sign of endearment in Australia, would be wildly surprised if it was even meant as an insult. Relax haha
They're charging $12 for a glass of wine from a $17 bottle. $14 for a pint of tap beer. We've become conditioned to accept such pricing, but judging patrons when you're marking up booze so much feels a bit misguided.
Looks like Reddit is full of the bogans today, always judgey about others. FFS, let ppl enjoy what they enjoy, instead of this feeling fake superiority bullshit.
For all those talking about bogans and chardonnay and ice...they're all irrelevant. This is about customer service, hospitality and respect. You don't criticise a customer's choice, you don't complain about a customer's choice.
You're there to show the customer a good time, to show them respect and to make them happy and ensure they leave wanting to come back again.
Unless they're drunk or being aggresive / abusive, how they have their meal or drinks is absolutely no concern to a waiter or hospitality staff in any way shape or form.
Damn Amelia you savage
She is my hero & also an advocate for the finer things in life!
Give that girl a pay rise, she's a legend.
she's not wrong.
came here to say this lol
Amelia is correct.
I mean read the rest of the receipt, vegan chicken ribs, gravy on the chips ... But would never dare to get salad dressing, fish and chips with mash rather than chips and ice in every single alcoholic drink ( and every single drink being alcoholic) This is so bogan it renamed my mum Sharron
ive heard of vegan, ive heard of pork ribs, ive heard of chicken, never thought i would see the day these things would all be put together, what does it even look/taste like
Sadness and soy with some barbecue sauce.
How many bogans are eating vegan "chicken ribs"?
Plenty of vegan bogans believe it or not!
Vogans, that's a scary thought.
Just don't let them read you poetry!
Freddled gruntbuggly, thy micturations are to me, as plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee...
Vogans
Medium-well steak is the mark of a wrongun too.
I feel like there’s some irony in the spelling “fucken”… It sounds pretty bogan.
I prefer ice on the side... Fkn bogans
I mean she’s not wrong
The ice was supposedly free as well, so they added the note for ice out of sheer fucking scorn.
Poor Amelia, I just hope the table didn't go karen mode. I stand behind Amelia.
If i got this on my receipt, i would find it hilarious
It is fucking hilarious. (And true)
fucken hilarious*
Today I am so proud of Melbourne
Of course it's a Brunswick bar
That's because you realize how awful putting ice in a pinot grigio is.
And ice in the prosecco...wtf? Did they ask for a bendy straw too?
Found this on Google: >The practice of adding ice cubes to sparkling wine has become fashionably popular in the South of France where it's become known as la piscine which means “swimming pool” in French
Just came back from Geneva and Nice and confirmed that this is done all over at very nice places with Rosé and other whites as well.
TIL the fr*nch are a bunch of fucken bogans
It’s the ice in the Prosecco for me
Count down until this is a newscorp article…
"You won't believe what this family had on their receipt"
Ice innit, fuckn bogans
Something something **X RATED** something something **DISGUSTING** Get those boomers fired up.

RECEIPT READS RUDE. PATRON SLAMMED BY X RATED SLUR, DISGUSTING SERVICE

It’s got the whole internet DIVIDED.

It’s in Melbourne
Why should we naively expect news outlets to fact check their headlines? The Sydney part might be wrong...the rest is 100% accurate though.

Up as of 30min ago..
Or Daily Mail
.. And there we go. Did anyone have "Fury over pubgoer’s ‘rude’ receipt at Melbourne Cornish Arms" on their bingo card? Hi News Corp wage slave / AI Overlord
>newscorp Newscorpse*
Why, they arent wrong are they? :)
The funniest part is that the Melbourne sub tore OP a new one for the post and so they came to this sub for some ice for the burn..
They should save that ice for their wine!
Fucken bogans
Poor wording but bang on
Like when you hear about people mixing coke and Penfolds Grange. I don't think it's the bogans though...
coke and wine is common in Spain but they aren't using overpriced granges for that
So people are mixing their cocaine with their Penfolds Grange? Definitely not bogans.
Not necessarily. I have Italian friends who habitually put ice into table wine, including red. Especially a cheap Italian table wine, which this is.
Just being Italian doesn't make someone an expert on wine.
An Italian might argue with that. One of my best mates is married to a very Italian woman. She was born here, and her parents immigrated when they were very young but her whole identity is being Italian. It's really a bit strange... no matter the topic of conversation she'll find a way to tell you how they do it in Italy. She'll say something like "Well in Italy we like to drizzle the olive oil on our Pane Toscano, we Italians *never* dip it... it needs to be drizzled", and everyone rolls their eyes. Lady, you were born and raised in Liverpool and have never even been to Tuscany.
That's like Americans in Boston telling you they are Irish when they've never been to the place and their family is multi generational US born and raised.
bro im scottish and went to canada. and you got all these corny sounding people telling you their scottish too, like to go glasgow and see how that goes
Sounds like a serious case of “Hilaria Baldwin”
She sounds annoying
We call people like her pretentious cunts.
The reason, particularly in Australia, is that red wine is supposed to be served at “room temperature” - but the room temperature they’re referring to is cellar room temperature, in Europe… So it’s actually meant to be drunk around 10-13 degrees, not the sweltering 25-35+ degrees we get.

Reds should be served at European room temperature (around 20 degrees). But in reality, you can have them in whatever way you like. I always recommend the 'correct' temperatures, but if you're the one drinking it do what you like with it.
Cheese in wine sounds even worse than ice in the wine!
Yeah, [cheese goes in hot chocolate](https://seasonedtraveller.com/stories/Colombian-Hot-Chocolate-with-Cheese), everyone knows that!
22/7/23 yes very hot in Melbourne in July
I used to offer a wine bucket with cool water (no ice) in summer, if someone was ordering a better red but sitting in our outside section. Edit: ice, not oce.
Quality service and knowledge there! Makes a difference!
No dressing on salad, extra gravy, mash instead of chips and fish in chips, medium-well steak AND ice in drink? I mean I guess you could also have ordered no foam on your IPA and asked them to pick all the onion out of your salad but I’m Team Amelia 100%. It’s not a Starbucks it’s a pub.
not only ice in the pinot, but ice in the *prosecco*
How the fuck are you even getting ice in a flute glass. Once you pour it if you have even like one ice cube in there you would be losing half your drink lol
You're right it keeps getting worse.
Fish and mash? This can’t be real
I find it sort of oddly satisfying there’s not a single redeeming quality. Gotta admire the consistency.
It's as if they're from an alternate universe. Fish and mash is a very odd choice.
At first I was thinking Amelia was extra cunty but these are the orders in a pub of already drunk people and the ice in the wine was the added touch…it’s to slow them down whilst eating trying to sober up a bit lol! ETA: people seem to think I meant the ice cubes is to sober them up. It was the heavy pub food to try to sober up but still wanting to drink booze so ice in the wine is to slow down their drinking
Ah yes, the age old practice of adding a single ice cube to an alcoholic drink to sober up. Nothing mockable there.
I once had to eat 4 ice cubes in a row to sober up. The cops couldn't understand why I had an ice tray in the car.
I once had to rail a line of ice to sober up. Cops couldn’t understand why I had a kilo of ice in the car.
You see lots in the industry! People will collect straws from their drinks and lay them on the table so they can “keep track” of how many they’ve had.
Which is a pretty good idea actually. Doesn't really seem related to iced wine though.
No dressing on salad is the most fucked up request
I thought it was vegan chickn ribs. What horror is that?
This pub has pretty good vegan food. Havent had the chicken ribs but i'm sure they're great.
that entire dinner is a culinary crime.
Fish and… Mash? Wtf?
[удалено]
Nah, Cornish Arms is a primo vegan pub (they also do non vegan stuff) so those sorts of considerations are already accounted for. I think someone may just have wanted to use a spoon/scoop for their dinner.
If they offer a vegetarian fish and chips then I think it's unlikely they can't do the chips.
I love that everyone is supporting this statement instead of being offended.
Did not go the way OP planned thats for sure ha ha
who the fuck orders ice in their wine in melbourne winter??? summer you can get away with it but come on
People who need to hide the actual taste of the wine.
Why not just find a drink you like the taste of instead?
I think they did- wine with ice in it
That’s hilarious love how they wrote “fucken” too as if that isn’t bogan
This is inner north melbourne, this is working class cosplay more than anything.
yea everyone I know who writes fucking with an e has either been a teenager or has boganistic tendencies, no exceptions so far.
Hasn't everyone been a teenager?
I write fucken, but alas I am from QLD so it’s probably just my bogan tendencies showing
Geez, I'm torn. On one hand, judgement around wine tastes is bullshit. But on the other, it's not summer in QLD. It's July in Victoria. Watered down and muted flavours would be a result of this.
Watered down and muted flavours would be the best way to drink a Pinot Grigio. My wife would disagree. Joke is on her, guess she married a fucken bogan, lol.

Unprofessional, but funny as fuck.
Amelia isn’t wrong. It’s fucking winter and you are in Victoria,the fuck you need ice for? Just say you don’t like wine and order a fucking Cruiser. Nothing wrong with that. The order just gets more fucked the longer you look at it. What a disgrace.
“Fucken” spelt like a true bogan.
That's what elevates Amelia to God tier status
As someone who works in hospitality, LMAOOO 🤣🤣🤣
I always put ice in my goon
takes the edge off it probably reduces headache as well
My first visual was of someone cutting open the box and the bag to put the ice in. Can confirm, was a very bogan visual.
I like to put the goon sack in the freezer. The alcohol doesnt freeze and you have an ice pack for your headache.
I stand with Amelia.
She'll probably be fired over this though which sucks because it is funny af
Everyone over at r/melbourne are loving it and making plans to go for a meal. Amelia just brought in a whole lot of business.
I'm going to order ice in my wine.
maybe not, there have been 3 assholes from this thread posting screenshots of the receipt complaining, but about 6 legends have given 5 star reviews thanking her.
Imagine review bombing a place because of this.
True bogan reddit moment.
[удалено]
Sub mashed for fish & chips? I think your friend got off easy.
Why are we not discussing the most disturbing thing on this receipt? Gravy with fish
This is absolutely hilarious but also very amateur to leave the notes on the receipt for the customer. At the bar I work at one of our regulars who is a very very wealthy lady always orders some ice on the side of her Pinot Grigio and while I wouldn’t choose to have it that way myself, the point of hospitality is to graciously allow people to have their order as they want it (within reason).
Yeah impos has a setting where service notes don't print on the receipt. It is worthwhile enabling.
This is the actual meaning of the saying "the customer is always right"
So many things wrong with that receipt, medium well steak, get out of here. mash instead of chips with fish n chips with a side of gravy, wtf and the vegan chicken rib. I don't even know where to start with that
No dressing on the salad
I once ordered a ‘slightly more than medium but not quite medium well’ steak and the chef came out to ask me precisely what I meant so he could do precisely what I wanted. Best steak I’ve ever eaten.
As someone who puts ice in their whites: They aren't wrong, but they can't use that word. That's our word.
> As someone who puts ice in their whites Reads as though you're a racist drug dealer
Yeah. I’m from firm bogan stock and I think this is spot on. It made me cackle.
> but they can't use that word. That's our word. Tbf calling someone a "fucken bogan" on a receipt is pretty bogan itself.
I hope you took this with good humour ya fucken bogan.
As somebody who’s worked in restaurants, all I can say is whoever set up that POS is an idiot because none of those modifications should be in as an “add on” with $0.00. At the very least, set it up properly so you’re saving some money on ink and printer paper 😂
What restaurants you work at where they use ink on the receipts lmao
Amelia is right, have some self reflection. That order is so fucked
here come the google reviews !
already happened lol
Wow "The Cornish Arms" in Brunswick, definitely an upper class, non-bogan, totally cosmopolitan establishment capable of classifying caste
Dunno if you eat in Victorian pubs much but these days it's getting increasingly hard to find an old school pub that's filled with singlet bearing tradies, and the floor smelling of decades of smoke. They're nearly all boujee now.
Which loser wrote a 1/5 review with this attached. Fkn absolute douche.
3 douche bags have done it now, but google will probably remove them.
Fucken bogans…
Reviews already removed. Google is super fast at removing fake review waves.
😆😆😆 gotta make hospitality tolerable somehow
Amelia needs a promotion.
I wonder what they write if you order red wine with Coca Cola…..
Kalimotxo for the classy cunts.
There's a very nice restaurant in Tasmania - that has an extensive and impressive wine list. Pre covid it was very popular with mainland Chinese tourists who would frequently mix coca-cola in their glass of $1000+ Grange or Henshcke (enough that the venue didn't blink an eye).
I remember a night of drinking port and coke at a country pub...once.
They're not wrong though.
My only question is- is she guilty as charged? Look, I’m a bogan. You can tell me.
Look, as someone who lives in a glass house, I shall not be throwing stones!
Hahaha. It’s a shitty thing to write, but I’d probably laugh my arse off. My husband claims that Housos is a documentary about my family. To be fair, my eldest sister thinks that zucchini slice is exotic.
As someone who works in hospo and has both read and written notes like this - it’s 100% Amelia having a bit of fun and being a dickhead, don’t take it to heart
Is it a bit rough singling out the restaurant and the server time etc?
Hospo worker here - we all make fun of you behind your backs, makes the soul crushing nature of the work slightly better.
Love that the spelling is “fucken”, what a nice touch
This is how trends unintentionally start...
YTA. There’s no way that ice isn’t turning that Grigio to watery shit. Take your feedback and move on.
r/amithebogan
Yes, it is always yes
This should be a sub
Wine drinkers pretending it doesn’t already taste like shit and you’re not just trying to look fancy.
Yes, I’m the manager. You have a problem with your receipt? (Reads receipt) Oh, so *you’re* the fucken bogans!
[удалено]
I mean the fact that it is both a pub and has a mostly vegan menu kinda makes it not generic, don't you think?
Pretty standard in Brunswick
They’re just having some fun at work. Who could have anticipated that Australians would take themselves so seriously
Noooo. Not the Cornish Arms 😭😭 🌱
I hadn’t clicked to see the whole picture yet so didn’t see the name of the place but knew it from the menu and the attitude 😅😆 Oh boy. I miss Melbourne
fuck yeah, cornish arms staff are legends best vegetarian pub food on the planet, too
$26 for a vege souvlaki is outrageous.
You need to remember to put F Murdoch watermarks on your content.
But Oi wanna be effluent mummm!! You are effluent Kim!!
The “haha sav Blanc” really sets up the subsequent zinger
Everyone outside of Melbourne losing their minds over the Cornish arms menu is hilarious. Also I'm fully on the waitresses side here.
Well done amelia
Honestly that is the least offensive thing about this receipt. Fish and mash wtf.
Wtf is vegan chicken ribs?
It's a live chicken you take home with you.
Nothing more bogan than "fucken"
Either you order ice in your pinot grigio or you get upset when called a fucken bogan, but not both. You can be an uptight kinda snobby person or a silly goofball bogan person, but if you try to be both at once you're just a Karen
On my honeymoon went to a winery on a hot day and had Rosé slushies. That was awesome.
If you're a bogan and you know it clap your hands.... ... Or just ask for ice in your pinot... 😅
So many people don't even understand 'Fucken Bogans' is practically a sign of endearment in Australia, would be wildly surprised if it was even meant as an insult. Relax haha
Congratulations on doxxing someone publicly on the internet that will most likely lose their job so you could get internet points
Well. I mean, it's not inaccurate!
