Over two-fifths of Czech pubs cheating customers, suggests study

Nearly 42 percent of Czech pubs and restaurants are cheating customers by charging them for half-litre beers that do not actually amount to a full half litre, according to a survey conducted by a group called the Consumers Defence Association. It measured the amount of beer served in half-litre glasses in 65 hostelries around the country. In most cases, the study’s authors said, bar staff were willing to top up drinks when a shortfall was pointed out.
