I could even choke down BREADED chicken wings. <shudder>I could choke down just about any beer at that place. I swear to God I could! </Donny Baker>

...enable the stupid servers in stupid restaurants to continue to be stupid!
Stupid!
This very thing is accomplished by venting on a forum instead of communicating to the owner/manager.
At the risk of getting "ignored" I don't know how so many people have enough time on their hands to be able to rent this kind of space in their heads over beer...
its weird right? how someone could spend time on something so trivial? like worrying about proper use of a word, or worrying about what someone else is worried about?.... wait...what are you doing?
Certain people like to complain and put down others who complain, it's the way of life for some.
assholier than thou. yes! (am i on the list?) what does the ignore button do? sounds awsome
And the rest of us don't want to hear complainers complaining if they are not going to do something about what they are complaining about.

It is indeed a handy feature. Click on the person's name, go to "View Public Profile" and there, at the upper right, just under the IAM.HBT is the "Block" button. It keeps you from seeing the annoying person's posts. As I said, I've used it . . . let me check . . . three times over the last five years of participation on HBT. Each time I've been a happier person for it. The fact that they have posted in a thread is still visible, so you can, if you so choose, read their posts. I find, though, that those who deserve the Ignore button generally deserve it across the board.
This is the wrong room for an argument. It's being hit on the head lessons here.
When she was pouring it she was concentrating on what she was doing intently! She looked at me and said as seriously as possible "I am trying to give you the best head that I can!" I almost choked on my Ti Ribs! I smiled and nodded. My wife just shook her head.
I get sick of having to ask for a glass with my beer at 80% of the places around here.
Now that I think about it, I remember seeing a bartender at a local restaurant going out of his way to make sure that the sediment from bottle conditioned beers got into the glass. I was drinking tap beer, but I watched as this guy would pour 80% of a bottle then swirl it around and dump the rest into the glass. Not hefeweizens, either. Everything.
A bar I used to go to infrequently called Shiner Bock an import...I talked the bartender into selling it to me for "domestic" prices...
"Import? That stuff's made in Texas! Just look at the label."
"Oh yeah, you're right! $2.50 please..."
kjung said:By "impossible", he meant "I'm too lazy to do something like that." There's a pub that opened in my town at the end of last summer, catering to the craft beer market. They not only have brand new beer lists every day, one for taps and another for bottles, they update their FB page and website EVERY TIME they change a beer. All it takes is a little effort...which just might be asking too much.
So you think that he should just let her go on being misinformed, and subsequently misinforming others?
She's a waitress. Knowing about the beer that she serves, as well as the food, is a large part of her job! Not knowing the definition of "imported" is a sign that A) she's an idiot, B) the school system she went through is horrible, or C) (what seems like the most likely choice) she just doesn't give a damn about doing her job properly.
I don't think it has anything to do with "beer snobbery." It has to do with expecting someone to know their job. Period.
You may want to be careful frequenting that bar. I'd imagine a bear getting head could be quite un-predictable and dangerous.I've seen guys do this and I think they just don't know which beers are bottle conditioned. It's their way of giving the bear a head. They'll pour 80% real slow and get no head then swirl the last bit around and basically pour the foam on top.
A manager should have to explain the meaning of the word "import" to an adult..Then why take you frustration out on the young girl that's in front of you? You should go to the manager that's obviously not giving the server the tools they need to perform their job properly. The young lady can only do what she is trained and if the restaurant doesn't give a crap why should it's employees??
