I worked at a pub
He drinks a beer called Cool. It's a smooth-flow bitter. After me changing the barrel, it was extremely lively to pour. This is what happens after you change a barrel of beer and the pressure guage is being fucked up because of the cold weather.

After I poured the first pint of the new barrel, the head on the pint was a bit too much. Oops. This was because of the fuced up pressure guage mentioned earlier. He started ranting and raving about "I paid to have a pint! This is isn't a full pint!". I calmed him down, and told him to take a sip of his pint so I could top it up for him. All calm. All peaceful.

The next time he asked for a pint, the pressure guage went back to normal. I poured him a perfect pint of bitter. He took a sip, and asked for a top up. I was confused. He was confused. "Why?" I ask. "Well, you did it last time.." he replied. "No" I say. "Oh", he accepts.

This customer then has a third pint. The head, again, isn't perfect, but it's acceptible for Trading Standards quality. Once it settles, he examines his 3mm-more-than-usual head on his pint, and explodes.

"Oi! Barkeep" he barks at me in an angry manner. "Do you want me to take a sip out of this?" he asks, expecting me to top the beer up.

"If you want to", I reply. "But you can have the whole pint if you want, seeing as you paid for it".

see
if everyone had a brain we could bring back the oversized glasses so you could have a pint and a head.

I understood
it was the legal right of the customer to request their pint to be topped up to the rim. everywhere i've worked there has been a sign explaining this.

Although I guess it would help to speak politely to the barstaff to obtain this...

I'm amazed
Now that I've moved away from Blighty and whenever I go back, how little, or none of a head they give you on a pint. Unless its Guiness...
