A pint please! (In a dirty glass)

Well, I do not go to Pubs. I do go to restaurants. But, if we get a dirty glass here int he United States of America, we do have the right to ask for a clean glass. I feel that it is just a common respect and if you want to me to come back. I'd better get a clean glass.

I hate dishwashers for this very reason. They leave food on the dishes, and then bake it on there during the drying cycle. I would much rather wash them by hand. The bar I used to work in was small. We didn't have a dishwasher. We washed all our mugs by hand. It isn't hard to keep up with them if you don't let them pile up. It was a never-ending part of the job, but wasn't really that bad if you stayed on top of them.

I haven't had this happen very often here in the U.S. When it does happen though, I'll ask the waiter/waitress for a clean glass and point out the lipstick or whatever. I've never had them refuse to replace it if it's pointed out to them nicely. If they gave me a hard time, you can bet I would speak to the manager. I don't wear lipstick at all, so it'd be pretty easy to prove I didn't leave the mark on the glass and that it was dirty to begin with. I think that if enough people would speak up and say something, then the management would have to do something about it. Yuk, I really hate when that happens, they should wipe the lipstick off before it's placed into the dishwasher!

I haven't noticed this, in the U.S. If there is something wrong then they fix it. I would recommend going to the nicer ones if not. Personally I like to drink at home with friends. I think bars are a little nasty in general.
