They gave us four pounds of sugar for the price of five, and we said nothing. Then a pound of coffee suddenly only had 13 ounces in it, still we said nothing. But if they think they can pass of 14 ounces of beer for a pint there's going to be blood in the streets.
Beer prices at bars and restaurants have risen over the past few months, as prices of hops and barley have skyrocketed and retail business has slowed alongside the economy.

Some restaurants have replaced 16-ounce pint glasses with 14 ouncers -- a type of glassware one bartender called a "falsie."

And customers are complaining that bartenders are increasingly putting less than 16 ounces of beer in a pint glass, filling up the extra space with foam.
Rage, RAGE against the shrinking of the pint!
