@driplist In Ghent, Belgium, there’s a pub with a unique policy to prevent the theft of its distinctive beer glasses: patrons are required to surrender one of their shoes as collateral when ordering certain beverages.
The shoe is placed in a basket, which is then hoisted above the bar, ensuring its safe return once the glass is returned.
This unconventional method effectively deters glass theft while adding a quirky charm to the pub’s atmosphere.
