Arizona weird? or Pizza Hut weird?

[WyoJim]

Stopped in a Pizza Hut in Flagstaff for Pizza and Beer. Drank a pitcher before the Pizza came so I ordered another pitcher. The girl said according to the law a party of two can only have 1 1/2 pitchers of beer. So I settled for a half pitcher.



Would this be AZ law or Pizza Hut law or Flagstaff law???

probably an arizona law... . went to the local hooters here for supper one night, while waiting on one of my buddies to arrive (few minutes behind me on getting there), I got a table and was going to order a pitcher..... well another law is you can't order a pitcher for just one person..... she insisted that I had to buy pints till my friend got there before I could order a pitcher. Told her no thanks, I'd wait for my friend and not the lack of service in her tip.

Even if it's just store policy, she didn't make the rule. Don't patronize the place if you wish but I wouldn't punish the girl with the rack for it... ... ... ...

 

[DIESELMAN]

Most states have a similar provision.....



'ARS4-244-23 It is unlawful For an on-sale retailer or employee to conduct drinking contests, to sell or deliver to a person an unlimited number of spirituous liquor beverages during any set period of time for a fixed price, to deliver more than thirty-two ounces of beer, one liter of wine or four ounces of distilled spirits in any spirituous liquor drink to one person at one time for that person's consumption or to advertise any practice prohibited by this paragraph. '



You should have known and quoted this law, and then drank each 32 ounce serving before requesting the next. Somehow some operators, liquor agents, police and judges think its per visit or sitting, instead of per DRINK. Of course then you leave and drive 4 tons of 400 horsepowered steel through the mayors front yard and the proprieter gets sued for serving you, but thats another story for another time... .....

As a Wisconsin resident, I find the fact that some idiots actually felt they had to spend time to draft such laws absurd. If I drink too much (or drive too fast or hold my breath too long) I am responsible for my actions!!! I keep seeing laws being passed to remove responsibility from the average person. Think it's bad now? Wait a hundred years!

Won't have to wait THAT long... ... .



1984 is just a BIT late.

When I worked on Ft Monmouth we had soda machines like that. We had a lot of scientists from germany.

Then the security guards found the machine. They screwed it up for everyone.

We actually had some guys in one of our little town halls here put beer in the soda machines - they were drinking it at town meetings - big controversy when they got found out - absolutely nobody had any idea how that stuff got there!

Yeah, I thought the one about swearing on the phone was a joke until the "Great State of Wisconsin" actually prosecuted someone on it. It's still a joke, but you'll just have to add it to all the other prosecutable jokes in this state.

One more thing that sticks in my craw...

I was just reminded of this one.



Where the H**L do the Feds get off holding my money ransom to get universal compliance with someone's feel-good legislation?



Case in point, the recent lowering of the BAC limit to . 08%. What on earth was that for? Every wreck I've been involved with that has a DUI driver at fault, the driver has been nowhere near . 10 let alone . 08. What on earth is this supposed to stop?

And this crap of, "Do what we want or we won't give you your money!" That's what I know as extortion. But I guess it's all symantics to the gub'mint.

That is awesome!! Love it! Montana rules



I know when I have had enough. Besides, the spouse likes to sip one while she is the passenger sometimes.

Tejas, Isn't that the law in Texas as well? (open container)... I know it used to be, I was in Austin about 20 years ago and thought it was so cool, that you could actually pull up next to a police squad car at a red light and drink a beer, while driving, just as long as you aren't drunk, it's not a problem.

Not anymore! Federal goverment witholds fundings for highways maintenance and upgrades to all states that still allow open containers. This is what happens when you accept handouts, they're always a catch when the feds are involved.

Not quite true Glenn. The feds transfer the withheld funds (3%) in states with no open container laws in to a fund dedicated to "alcohol-impaired driving countermeasures or enforcement of driving while intoxicated and other related laws. " The withheld funds still stay in the state.



This is good if you ask me. DUI in Montana is very low compared to other states with stricter laws. Some communities in MT have tried to enact open container laws with quite a bit of resistance. When they do pass an open container it usually just means a warning ticket.



The whole law (very short) here- http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/tea21/factsheets/n_154.htm



According to this 14 states have no open container law. Interesting state chart here on helmet, seatbelts and other laws.

Route 89

lizzyhermit... . Coming in from the Navajo Reservation on Route 89 I think but before Rt. 40.



I think the girl who waited on us was a Navajo and I did tip her.



Very few Pizza Huts serve Pitchers of beer any more, they have switched to bottles at $2. 49 a crack. In that case I usually just leave or switch to take out and serve my own Bud in the camper. Stopped in Casper WY on the same trip at a Pizza Hut that serves pitchers... . Wrong... not any more, so we had diet Pepsi. . AAARRRGGG. Going to Penna. next week and there is one that serves pitchers in Gillette. I'll hit it on the way back.



By the way I was in Phoenix 3 or 4 days and tried Mexican at a place called "Carumba's" I think. Any way I was so impressed I ate there twice and Budweiser's were $1. 85 per bottle. I don't know if I got the name correct, but I can recommend them.



Did Mexican at a place I was happy with before in Raton NM. Didn't measure up after Carumba's.



Also went through El Paso TX... . The whole town SUCKS.

WyoJim - if that Casper Pizza Hut is the one out on Second Street out near Eastridge Mall - I lived a few blocks from there once and remember when that place got built. Damnation but I need to get back to Wyoming! :{
