Thanks for the advice, both posts have been helpful. Still can't help but feel 
frustrated when I have done everything I can to follow the rules because I 
usually enjoy the job and have fun with my co-workers during and after work. 
Being accused of seriously mispouring when using a jigger I take alot of 
offense to.

I was taught by an experienced bartender in my last job to ALWAYS pack the 
glass with as much ice as possible. I have always followed that.

Also glad to hear others use a 4 count to pour an ounce, I brought this up to 
my manager and was confused how a 4 count would equal 1.25oz, and how 
according to these spotters I was essentially pouring .66oz-.93oz into a 
jigger.

I have a feeling this info was filler for their report and I was an easy 
target. Still sucks to be accused of doing your job wrong by someone that sits 
at the bar for an hour or so and writes up a report accusing you of shafting 
people, especially when you make every effort to follow every rule put in 
place. If we were permitted to free-pour I would take this as constructive 
criticism instead of total garbage written up and sent to management.

Maybe it's difficult to find quality spotters to work for you but this crosses 
a line when ignorance of the situation puts me in a really bad light to my 
managers especially when I take the job seriously and put forth my best effort.
