00:00Hi, I'm Theo, and this is People on the Street. Today I'm asking people about pubs.
00:05Now, some pubs are talking about introducing surge pricing, which means that the cost of beer goes up when it's more busy,
00:10and it obviously becomes cheaper when it's a bit more quiet.
00:13We want to know if people think that's fair, whether they understand why pubs would want to do it.
00:17I don't think it's fair because they're already charging quite a lot, like in general, and increasing price even if it's busier.
00:24Because since it's busier, people will go to the pub anyway, and they will have to pay a higher price.
00:32It's more money for them, with the way that beer prices are in general, compared to the rest that you've been talking about.
00:39It's probably already very high. Some places now are kind of getting to almost London prices.
00:45It's not really fair. I get why, I guess it's to control crowds, but I don't know if that would work.
00:52I feel like it depends how big the difference is, but I don't think I'd go home just because the drinks are slightly more expensive.
00:59I'd probably still pay it.
