also congrats on the award!
as to the half poured pint before the barrel changing. Welll sometimes the end of barrel beer can be a bit funky, but it's rare. I still agree it's a bit off asking for a new one if the experienced looking barman thinks it looks good.

My most annoying experiences when I managed a pub were
a) Hey how can I help you? "One beer" Yes... Did you know which kind of beer you want? "Well, normal beer" uh.. We sell six kinds of normal beer..

b) "This isn't a full measure of wine!" Yes it is.. "How can you possibly know??" I have poured wine in bars for five years. I can see it. "But there's hardly anything in here" It just looks that way because the glass is big. "My son is a bartender!" Well good for him.. (I then had to PROVE that the wine was the right amount. *sigh*)

and the third and my favourite
"I want to speak to the manager!" You ARE speaking to the manager "You're not the manager" Um.. Well I'm fairly sure I'm the manager "But you're a girl! And you're foreign!" Well.. thanks.
