"honor bar" implementations

(posted in MR-specific forum b/c I'm interested in Marriott properties in particular)

I'm at a property where the "honor bar" is served by an attendant...there aren't any glasses out, presumably to enforce this policy. And the hard liquor is offered in multiple serving sizes (at different prices) and is measured out in a jigger, so no "generous pours". How typical is this for Marriott "honor bars"? Typically I see true honor bars, where patrons can serve themselves, and I also have been heartily encouraged by most CL attendants to serve myself generously.

As an amusing aside, one of their red wine offerings is Ferrari Carrano Cabernet Sauvignon...at $17 and change per glass. That seems a bit high, even by CL standards, but I can't imagine that they get enough turnover on those bottles to preserve the quality of the wine (which they merely recork and let sit out at room temp).
