Pour Monitoring

Dear chris, As I sit and sip my gin and tonic, I remember that while waiting to board my last flight at Denver International Airport, I watched the bartender attach a cable to the bottle and look away while she tipped it over my glass. the top of the bottle had the most monsterous spout i have ever seen. It automaticaly stopped the pour at exactly 1 oz. I had ordered a double( don't worry I am not a pilot) so she tipped it again. I thought about it and from the dollar standpoint, it makes sense. The systems that are bing used are to keep track of liquor cost. Bartenders are allowed to comp a few drinks only every so often. Some can be written off as mispour(wrong drink...no such thing in my opinion). In any case I wouldn't worry about them tracking the individual customers intake. Unless you count tracking your order when you trow down the plastic to keep your tab open. Better start paying with cash...
