No, that does not come in a half order.....

Soft drinks get free refills, beers don’t. The other day at Happy Hour, someone wanted half a beer. No. It‘s Happy Hour, prices are already reduced. We don’t sell beer by the ounce, we sell it by the glass. The draft beer they were drinking was only $2.00. If this person was someone who frequented the place, spent a few bucks, maybe had some dinner, I might reconsider, but when all you spend is $2.00, I’m not gonna sell you half a beer at half the price. Especially when you’re someone who annoys the living shit out of everyone.

Yesterday, someone wanted a glass of Sangria. We have several varieties of Sangria, and they are served in 17 ounce pitchers, along with a glass filled with ice and fruit. Just order the drink as it comes. (The kitchen isn’t going to let you order half a steak)

I’m not going there. I’m not going to start customizing the size of your order, anymore than we already do. You can get a mixed drink in a rock glass, or a tall glass. If you order a bottle of beer, you can have any glass you want.

If you want Sangria, order Sangria. If you choose not to drink it all, that’s your choice.

If you want a smaller beer, order a bottle, that’s only 12 ounces, a draft beer is 20 ounces. See, we do have choices. So don’t go getting ridiculous on me.

It’s the same thing as the guy who ordered his drink in a tall glass, and then wants more booze in it. For the same price. Don’t complain about the drink not being strong enough, when that’s the way you ordered it. (Idiot)

I’m not going to set that precedent….so don’t whine at me, “But I only want a half a drink.” If I let you get away with it….then next time you are in, you’ll start a different whine, “I got it that way last time I was here.” I’ve learned that if you do someone a special favor like that, it is no longer viewed as a special favor, they will expect it to be the norm, and continue with the incessant whining thinking it will get them their own way. All they will manage to accomplish is to annoy and alienate everyone around them.
