My German friend said it never crossed her mind, but when ordering multiple items in a restaurant or bar, you don't always use the plural. For example:
One beer please = Ein Bier bitte.
Two beers please = Zwei Bier bitte.
A more interesting example? So how about two glasses of wine? And the logic breaks down...
Two glasses of wine, please = Zwei Glas Wein, bitte,
Two glasses of wine, please = Zwei Gläser Wein, bitte.
Yup, both are fine. That's weird. If I'm wrong, please let me know.
