The odds of getting more booze than you paid for in a bar are surprisingly good, says a New Zealand bar auditor.
Most often it will be because of badly trained bar staff. But some generous pours and extra nips will find their way to mates of the barman.
Peter Nelson is an expert on bars and says when his business Sculpture Hospitality audits a place, it typically finds 15 to 20 per cent of booze disappears unpaid for.
Nelson's company discovered wrong pour lines had been engraved on wine glasses at a Christchurch bar. Instead of 150ml, staff had been pouring 170ml, which had cost the bar owner $18,000.
