"Miss, that is not a bloody pint!"
"Um, sorry, that's what we call a pint..."
"EXCUSE ME! What WE CALL a pint?! It's not a proper pint. A proper pint is 20 ounces. I don't care what you bloody well call a pint. That's not 20 ounces."
"Umm, sorry..."
"Take this back and bring me a proper pint, miss."
"I'm sorry, we don't have bigger glasses."
"You're a pub and you don't have proper pint glasses?"
Nervous laughter from waitress.
"Alright then, I'll pay you with WHAT I CALL dollars. They're 80 cents. So I'll pay you four dollars fifty for this pint you want five dollars seventy for."
And he was dead serious.
