HA! "So restaurants can charge screwage" - I love it. At the restaurant where I work, we frequently joke about the correct etiquette for opening a screw-top at the table. It's a great idea for reducing cork contaminants, not so great for dramatic flair.

That's pretty funny.
I couldn't tell you why...but I'm with Vanessa on that one. Like to see that on a receipt. Speaking of receipts, eater.curbed.com is doing funny receipt round-ups. Check it out...
