Default British pubs for sociologists

Following up to Tim Vanhoof

One of the saddest sights of the British summer (or the funniest,
depending on your sense of humour) is the group of thirsty tourists
sitting at a table in a pub, patiently waiting for someone to come and
take their order.


I wonder how unaware people are of the service arrangements in
pubs? I suppose if they see people bringing food to tables they
could well be confused.
Do people really not spot people waiting at the bar and the lack
of any waiters? People bringing back their drinks?
