Witnesses Nos. 258 and 285, persons of large experience in the management of restaurants and public houses, explained that if a girl were to attempt to eat a meal in the bar, customers would chaff her as to what she had, and the business of the bar would be interrupted. An editorial in The Times for 30 December 1881 expressed the view that this kind of thing was all but inevitable: Witness No.87 is a married woman, and acts as head barmaid in a large theatre (No. 22) in the North of England… Her hours are exceptionally long as she serves with the manager and his wife in the pit bar, which is kept open until 2 am for the use of the professionals. All the barmaids begin at 7 pm and the others leave when the performance is over.

Witnesses Nos. 2, 215, 216, 222, and 223 are leaving, or have left, their employment from swelled feet or varicose veins.

She also found that barmaids tended not to be employed in beer-houses (very basic pubs), rough pubs, or the rough bars of multi-room pubs:

What are the typical German ladies’ attire?

Pilsner, also known as ‘Pils,’ is by far Germany’s most popular beer. In the North, West, and East, the light-golden beer with a dry hoppy aroma is extremely popular. What is a German beer girl called??ndl?) (listen, Austro-Bavarian: Diandl?) is the name of a traditional feminine gown worn in Bavaria and Austria (with the exception of Vorarlberg), Altbayern, Südtirol, and Trentino). It’s a type of Tracht that’s made up of traditional Alps peasant clothing. What do they call beer in Germany, one might wonder? Das Bier – „das beer”: The Beer is a general German beer vocabulary. An early feminist, Miss Orme was a firm believer in allowing women to work in whichever industries they chose and was a member of the Society for the Promotion of the Employment of Women.
