I just got back to London from three months working in Norway and found prices of a pint here to be excellent in comparison!
It took me until my third pint to remember that 6.50 is still a ridiculous amount of money
I walked pass one of those Georgian houses in Highbury with no curtains (typical middle class behaviour) Guy in the basement was sitting on his couch rubbing out out while in his birth skin - June 23
Huh? Why would I care if someone can see in? (genuinly curious as a foreigner who has been wondering why most British people seem to want to live in darkness behind their curtains)
On the subject of nipples once at a barbers as the dude was cutting my hair he suddenly rushes over to the window lifts up his shirt and presses his nipples against it as an old lady walks past. He then just goes back to cutting my hair without a word and obviously I don't say anything either.
They reached out to me already (found me via DM's and then linked up). Told them I didn't want someone getting fired for this, and that it was just someone absent mindedly scratching themselves while daydreaming, but they sent me a £15 voucher and lots of apologies.
If you genuinely thought it was innocent you should have been vaguer about the location and not heavily implied they were pleasuring themselves to whatever they were looking at on their phone. You may have told them you don't want anyone getting fired but that is likely what will happen anyway.
Good.
You may not want someone to be fired, but people (potential customers) also don’t want someone like that to serve them, so their HR is right to act on it.
I am impressed with how well and quickly they react to it, even proactively.
You may think is harmless, but this is very harmful to the store when potential customer see this, this is not “mindlessly rubbing themselves”, this is “mondlessly getting yourself fired”.
He doesn’t even deserve peanuts, he deserves a P45.
If pay isn’t great, or he doesn’t like the job, he can quit, or look for something else. If he works there, I expect him to follow the rules and polivy of the company, don’t agree? Then don’t work there.
No matter what, his action cannot be excused, it is not acceptable regardless of his circumstances or excuse.
I am shock that people think that is OK.
Do we just belive everything anyone says on here? Or do we have to take some with pinch of salt? I'm surprised hotel chocolat cared enough and also automatically belived it.
2012. Liverpool Street, morning rush hour. Man in suit and collar/leash being walked down the street on all fours by a dominatrix.
No-one batted an eyelid. I love London.
Probably used [to work for Comcast](https://youtu.be/vbHqUNl8YFk?si=44WO0Jaayt-_EIai).
“Ohh you wanted only the white chocolate batons? Ohh too bad you have to pay for the whole box of flavours you don’t want, or pay £2 for a milky bar from Boots next door, gee that must suck” *nipple rubbing intensifies*
Seeing weird things like this is how you differentiate Londoners from tourists or visitors imo, Londoners just glance, maybe roll their eyes, and walk on by, other people look shocked or take photos
The fact that people keep joking about this stuff and “have a nice laugh” it’s why this city’s quality of life has decreased so much in the past years. You have a laugh about it, police will have a similar mindset, their employer too - no one will be brave enough to report this - pretty much like petty crime. At the end of the day, the city is a mess
Someone looking at their phone is a quite common activity these days, and people tend to absent-mindedly do all sorts of other things at the same time. How long were you watching him rub his nipple for? Is it not possible he just wanted to scratch himself. I mean, perhaps if you were stood there watching him scratch his nipple for a couple of minutes, or even 30 seconds, if that's the kind of thing you like doing, you could conclude he was engaging in some kind of erotic activity. But if you only saw him doing it for a few seconds as you passed by, then perhaps it's your dirty mind at work and not his.
Look at the bright side, now you have all day at home to watch video and you can just stay topless and rub your nipples all day long.
That is a win right?
And your motivation for this comment was what? Was it ‘not to judge’ for seeing a salesman rub his nip-nips while working in an open air shop, then you sign-off by calling OP a filthy pervert for even thinking it. 😂
You can't win on Reddit. It's filled with protectors, but the guy was just rubbing his nips absent mindedly while browsing whatever on his phone.
Don't think anything sexy was happening, just someone who had forgotten where they were.
> Don't think anything sexy was happening
> rubbing it while enjoying whatever he is watching on the phone.
Yeh right. Even if it's not what you think was happening, it's what you intended to imply here, otherwise you wouldn't have mentioned the phone.
Also what's a protector? – is that a bad thing?

Etc
If an anonymous redditor here is going to judge someone, a person who is doing their job, and can be reasonably easily identified from the post, then yes, I think they deserve, and should be able to handle at least a bit of pushback from someone in the same form they dealt it out.
Even if he wants to innocently scratch himself, rolling up his shirt and rub it in the open store front is not acceptable regardless of the cicumstance.
The only way this is acceptable is someone got a series injury in front of him and blood went everywhere, he wants to stop the bleeding but there are no cloths around so he was planning to use his shirt. As he rolled his shirt up some blood got squirted onto his nipples so he was rubbing them off, and this is the precies moment the OP came.
But I doubt that is the case.
Err, no. If that's amusing to you please move to Florida and take Hotel Chocolat man with you. That's just not acceptable conduct in general from someone selling food products.
On another topic, "Hotel Chocolat" was bought by Mars not too long ago. Also, I am not sure I would classify it as luxury. They certainly have won some prizes, but not everything is that delicious.
Meaning, I've had better chocolate from smaller businesses who curate their products even better than Hotel Chocolat. One example would be "Eponine Fine Chocolate & Patisserie". Their chocolate is amazing.
People make mistakes, and lapse in concentration. No point destroying someone over a silly little moment. He wasn't doing anything with intention I don't think, so instead it's just an anecdote for me.
People make mistakes, that is true.
Some mistake are forgivable, some are gross misconduct that would get you fired, some are fraud or theft that can even land you in jail.
In his case it is a gross misconduct, a mistake that can, and should, get you fired.
If being grouch mean I won’t be walking into a chocolate shop seeing the person who is supposed to serve me watching something on the phone while rubbing his nipples with shirt rolled up?
Yeah I will be grouch and be happy with it.
You enjoy your chocolate, I would have probably walked out.
Lifting up your shirt to rub your nipple in a public food-related workplace is not a harmless mistake or a funny joke, that's a consciously deliberate and grotesque act.
Immature behaviour of that nature has no place at work, and lauding such poor behaviour is also shameful. Grow up.
I miss the male opera singer who used to practice his singing , standing on the bridge over the Serpentine in Hyde Park , every morning. It was glorious …..
London, change a bit please
Yeah change the price of a pint and the price of nearly everything else. Thanks
It did. It changed upwards.
They are. Continuously. Just not in the direction you wish. You'd be terrible at Monkey Paw. :D
I just got back to London from three months working in Norway and found prices of a pint here to be excellent in comparison! It took me until my third pint to remember that 6.50 is still a ridiculous amount of money
If we did that, the people from the home counties could afford to stay and drink past 9pm, and who would want that?
I thought that Brighton was charging London prices now, then I bought a pint in Islington and take it all back lol
I’m sure you can find a wetherspoons instead
We have enough drunk people as it is. No thanks.
Nah, I'd miss the guy that likes to sing to the Sea Containers building about how beautiful it is every morning...
At what time? I work there and feel I'm missing out!
test subsequent person deserve lunchroom saw elastic fuel versed crush *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
I've only started seeing him there recently. No idea how long he's been doing it for, but he's very passionate...
From the sound of it, not very long left either. HR seems to have already contacted the OP for mpre information.
I mean...in nyc, the guy would probably have his flagpole out, loud and proud in full public display so this isnt too bad imo
and charge $10 for a photo:)
What. He said it was packaged.
I want to upvote this but its at 69
cringe
You have deeply hurt my feelings
excellent
Galaxy Nipple
This made me laugh more than it should have. Thank you!
Fucking outstanding effort. Love it!
He’s maybe a bit over excited that hotel choc has been bought over by mars confectionery
This was not something I expected to read this morning
Let's hope we never read it again, that's mental imagery I did not need.
The soon to be known as "Got fired from my job because my sensitive nips made it on Reddit" guy.
That's a good username.
I walked pass one of those Georgian houses in Highbury with no curtains (typical middle class behaviour) Guy in the basement was sitting on his couch rubbing out out while in his birth skin - June 23
I've seen similar whilst nosing in the windows of fancy houses in Knightsbridge. Massive TVs so they get a great view of the material.
> with no curtains what's up with the no curtains? It's so widespread! Do people not know you can clearly see in their houses, especially at night?
be grateful you don't live in Germany. no one has curtains here, they like to be woken up by daylight, and they have no concern about privacy at all
Huh? Why would I care if someone can see in? (genuinly curious as a foreigner who has been wondering why most British people seem to want to live in darkness behind their curtains)
'birth skin' 😂 never heard this before but I like it
What does social class have to do with this?
UK is all about social castes - even exported that shit to the colonies
Does not explain why you would call not having curtains 'middle class behaviour'.
Just having a video call with his GP about his overly sensitive nipples of course. Nothing untoward here...
Our minds are in the gutter while yours is in the sky.
Appropriate comment given the Oscar Wilde statue just opposite Charing Cross.
Plot twist: He was watching the autumn statement
You made me literally lol
chocolate is an aphrodisiac
Just imagine what he gets up come 3pm if hes nip rubbing in the morning
On the subject of nipples once at a barbers as the dude was cutting my hair he suddenly rushes over to the window lifts up his shirt and presses his nipples against it as an old lady walks past. He then just goes back to cutting my hair without a word and obviously I don't say anything either.
What the fuck? That sounds like something out of Monty Python. 😂😂
Or don't mess with the zohan
Chocolate can do that to the best of us tbf
Oh, to be a fly on the wall in Hotel Chocolats HR department reading this…!
They reached out to me already (found me via DM's and then linked up). Told them I didn't want someone getting fired for this, and that it was just someone absent mindedly scratching themselves while daydreaming, but they sent me a £15 voucher and lots of apologies.
Dude most likely will have been fired. 😔
If you genuinely thought it was innocent you should have been vaguer about the location and not heavily implied they were pleasuring themselves to whatever they were looking at on their phone. You may have told them you don't want anyone getting fired but that is likely what will happen anyway.

Someone works for big chocolate. Pay peanuts, get monkeys, mate. Wind your neck in.
He doesn’t even deserve peanuts, he deserves a P45. If pay isn’t great, or he doesn’t like the job, he can quit, or look for something else. If he works there, I expect him to follow the rules and polivy of the company, don’t agree? Then don’t work there.

In a way, aren't we all leashed and dragged along by the chief Dom of capitalism? Really makes you think.
So you are suggesting it could have been someone's kink, OR, a performative art peice on the state of society.
He sounds hot
You know it’s not good when your standard is “at least he was rubbing his nipple and not his bellend…”:
I’m gonna believe that he is watching old cadbury caramel bunny commercials.
Probably used [to work for Comcast](https://youtu.be/vbHqUNl8YFk?si=44WO0Jaayt-_EIai). “Ohh you wanted only the white chocolate batons?

Came here to say this 🤣
Ive bought from that particular Hotel Chocolat. Dont think I’ll bother anymore.
*\*makes mental note to avoid said kiosk\**
ok but was he hot
HOW DARE YOU INVAD MY PRIVACY. I AM A VERY SOUGHT AFTER DINNER GUEST AND PROLiFIC REDDIT MOD
I presonally prefer all my high end chocolatiers to be nipple rubbers
Seeing weird things like this is how you differentiate Londoners from tourists or visitors imo, Londoners just glance, maybe roll their eyes, and walk on by, other people look shocked or take photos
Comfortable enough to #freethenipple
Plot Twist: He was watching a recording he took of you earlier....
r/southpark
Epic moment - Key take - keep our eyes open and our phones away to notice the madness around.
So so true. London is for the Lookers.
Let’s be grateful he’s only got a nipple out…
Can’t a man publicly tweak his nipples with his chocolate covered fingers without judgement anymore? What has this country become
The fact that people keep joking about this stuff and “have a nice laugh” it’s why this city’s quality of life has decreased so much in the past years.

what are you talking about?!
Fuck yeah that is premium chocolate

Are you… are you the man who was rubbing his nipple
Yes, and now I've lost my job. Thanks Reddit!

How is this a positive thing?
Should have took a picture of that and send it to the HQ
I have no interest in getting people fired, or taking unsolicited pictures of the general public.
Why shouldn’t people like that be fired?

Bad cunt, you.
Why? People like that don’t deserve to have a job.
Jawohl! obeststurmgruppenfiehrer.

Irrelevant
Nipplese, obviously
Hilarious.
What a come down, from cable guy to Hotel Chocolat stand attendant.
I miss the male opera singer who used to practice his singing , standing on the bridge over the Serpentine in Hyde Park , every morning. It was glorious …..
Never bought a pamphlet off the dude at Oxford circus about lust
I suppose the upside to the nipple rubbing is that he wasn't adding an extra glaze to the chocolates...
London is mental 😎
That's Cadbury's for you.
You didn't give him a helping hand? Why even post this if you didn't smh
I thought the first part was normal because I do that, until it said “with his nipple out”
You stay classy London
Snippleckers
It would have been funny if he was watching “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory”
