DregScale
No more: "Oy! Come back with that, scoundrel!" | |
The glassies at my local are
almost too conscientious for
their own good. The number of
times I've turned my back on an
almost-finished schooner, only
to turn back and find it
disappearing at the top of a
stack of dirty glasses, well...
*sigh*.
The DregScale is a coaster-sized
digital scale, with a bright red
led display and absorbent
facing. Simply 'zero' it with an
empty glass, place your tasty
beverage on it as you would a
standard coaster, and it fills
your beverage of choice with
bright red light. The
overzealous glassy knows that
while the glass shines red,
you've still got a mouthful
left.
When you've finished your drink
(and I mean FINISHED, with not a
drop left to swill the vile
nicotine taste from your mouth),
the display turns green, and
your friendly local pub employee
knows it's time to collect.

I've had an entire shot of (rather expensive) whiskey in a tumbler stolen from my immediate vicinity without my knowledge in a pub, because it looked like the discarded dregs of a Southern Comfort and lemonade, which made me extremely angry as the house would not replace it and for which I never forgave that frightened Polish barmaid. |

This doesn't even have to be automated, coasters with LEDs would do the trick, though that's not very bakery. |
|
| |
You're right, of course, [theleopard]. LEDs, or even a double-sided coaster, one side red, one side green, would do the trick. |
|
| |
But, this being the HB, if I took out the automation, I'd have to add hamster-power or dancing mice or somesuch. |
|

As for the whiskey: I feel your pain. |
