Just came in to same I'm glad to see you posting and hope that you're doing well.

That's not a server's idea, that would be the manager's. No manager would let that shite fly unless it was their idea or the owner's. There's a reason for it, and likely dumb.

But server's almost never pour their own wine that's wine by the glass. It comes from the bar just like every other alcohol. The bartenders are given a method to serve wine by the glass; the servers order it, pick it up at the bar, and then deliver it.

Now, the server could very well be ignorant additionally don't get me wrong. But I'm simply saying that its very doubtful they came up with it on their own.
