[Delayed grumble]
Bar Staff,
If I am at the bar with mate A, who is just another regular joe like me, and either one of us asks for 'two pints of $beer please' what do you do? Yes, that is correct - you pour and serve two pints of $beer.
However, if I am at the bar with mate B, who is [que shock and/or horror]
a woman, and either of us asks for 'two pints of $beer please' what do you do? Yup, immidiately look at her [mouth agape, or not, it seems to be a little random] and say any of the following 'Is that a half?', '
Two pints?', *pour one pint and place infront of me* 'Was that a half?', 'You want a half, yeah?', 'Did you mean a half and a pint, or two pints?'.

If we ask, quite plainly, for
two pints... that is what we want! I'm sure that if you ask TimO, he will be able to confirm what this particular operation isn't.
