Growler-filling etiquette

Ya know whats weird? I’ve never had an issue with this. Maybe been short-poured a few times at a brewery but its rare. Growler fills I usually get topped off. Maybe its the quality of the places or the people working but when I see these threads I wonder if maybe I’m naive, so I pay attention the next few times and its never been noteworthy.

As far as how I would handle it...I’d be annoyed if I planned to send it to someone as it can hurt the beer by having space in the growler (I think?) If I get a 64oz growler and they fill it to 62oz, tevs. Saves me some calories.

During my previous visit I tried chatting this guy up, and asked him, "What have you had lately that was really exciting? What stands out?" He replied, "Well, I just got back from Boston, so...".

Thanks for not simply asking "Whaddya got that’s rare??" That has to be my least favorite question.
