Beer Rip Off at Qwest Field - when is small really large?

Abracadabra!

Qwest Field management responds to the video. Hmmm.....

"We received a copy of the YouTube video showing the quantity of liquid served in the 16 oz. beer cup is the same quantity that fits into the 20 oz. beer cup. This is the first time we have been alerted to this fact. Upon our internal investigation this afternoon, we discovered the cups that are marked 16 oz. hold 20 oz. of liquid. Fans who purchased a 16 oz. beer actually received 20 oz. of beer for the 16 oz. price. Fans that purchased the 20 oz. beer received the amount they purchased.

"We are working with Levy Restaurants to follow up with the cup vendor about the measurement and to determine how long this has been occurring at Qwest Field. We are determined to find a solution as quickly as possible. In the meantime, we will serve domestic beer in the 20 oz. cup at tomorrow's playoff game to ensure all fans receive the amount they purchase, and we will charge the 16 oz. price."

I expect that the "small" cup is only supposed to hold 16oz, and not be filled to the brim - there's probably a fill line on it at some point - but those selling/pouring the beer are not aware that this is the case.

And thus why I rarely drink when I go out. Not to mention 4 oz's is supposed to cost $1.25 more which puts a large at $6.25. Scratch that, I'm seeing that the 16oz costs $6.25, can anyone validate that? 20 or 16oz it really doesn't matter much when you consider you can probably purchase 72oz of the same cheap domestic beer they're selling for $6 or less at the grocery store.

Yeah it pisses me off too. I'm a homebrewer and once you find out you can make beers better than any store bought beer for less than .50cents a beer you tend to not want to pay for overpriced beer anymore.
