This is bad in way too many ways. A Pint is 16 oz = 473.1765 ml. 10 OZ? Who are these imbeciles? Applebees is a chain so I infer this is the same in all their restaurants.

Remember all the stoopidity about mcdonalds, burger k,... not having a SMALL size drink. Medium, Large and Extra Large. How is that not idiotic? And thousands of restaurants and millions of people went along with it for years.

I started asking for "The smallest coke," after being told repeatedly that they did not have a SMALL drink. Fucking stooopid.

===============
The pint is a unit of volume or capacity in both the imperial and United States customary measurement systems. In both of those systems it is traditionally one-eighth of a gallon. The British imperial pint is about 20% larger than the American pint because the two systems are defined differently. Almost all other countries have standardized on the metric system, so the size of what may be called a pint varies depending on local custom.

Thats a UK pint. Not everything is bigger in the US

As soon as I read, "My wife & I went to an Appleby's restaurant"... I knew the story wasn't going to end well.

Appleby's is a waste of time. Similar to Olive Garden....

That's the US. Pay more, get less.

From Wikipedia:

A pint glass is a form of drinkware made to hold either a British ("imperial" ) pint of 20 imperial fluid ounces (568 ml) or an American pint of 16 US fluid ounces (473 ml). These glasses are typically used to serve beer, and also often for cider.

You gotta have some other places to go close by that are better than Applebee's, no?

I guess your 16oz pints must be a result of your small gallons. A real pint is 20oz.

I don't like Applebees anyway. Expensive and over-rated. $84 for me and my two kids. Rubbish!

A pint is a fixed amount. If they sell you a pint and bring you 10oz, they are cheating you. It’s like saying “our gallon of milk is half a gallon.”
Also Applebees is terrible. You’d be appalled how much of your dinner came out of a microwave.

That's around the corner from my house.

It is always about the profit, people only figure in the equation with their pocketbooks! We will need to spend our time and money, where there is some ‘soul,’ and that is getting hard to find!

You have absolutely nailed it.
That's the way it's been "working" for the last couple of decades.

Corporations are only interested in making as much money as they can, as quickly as they can. If they have any kind of product(s), the size of said product will decrease, as will overall quality, and the price will go up.

I would say that's the American way, but in Britain, to make more money they have introduced the "women's" pint - actually an American pint which is less than a standard British pint.
