I’ll Have Half a Glass, Thank You

Setting: Lunch. Last week. Ça va ?

Wine was ordered.

Glass 1 – washed down the gullet

(hold please while server replenishes)

Glass 2 – sopped and soaked

(hold please while server brings check)

Hello, my good fellow? That wine cha-chinged at $18. What uuuuuuup?

(hold please while wine menu is revisited)

Oh, how special. Wine is priced by the 1/2 glass, but served by the full glass, which incidentally looks just like a 1/2 glass so the customer is not all, “What up, dude, you over served me.”

Misleading? You betcha.
