A special gesture that everyone notices is pouring from 3 or more shot glasses, 1 for liquor, 1 for liqueur and one for cream. Although more may be used, 3 will serve our purposes. Another gesture that is noticed by everyone is turning the shot glasses upside-down on a bar towel, so that the residue of the liquor drips into the towel. By using a shot glass, no one feels cheated. Someone who has had a few drinks can't tell a strong drink from a weak one. When the customers see the gesture of pouring from a shot glass, it reinforces the fact that they are getting their money's worth. Even then, sometimes the customer will give you a hassle, but you will have witnesses that they got what they paid for. Enlisting the aide of your other customers is far better than having a brawl about how much liquor was poured.
