Eight whole dollars!?

I was sitting in my fiance's casino waiting for him to get off of work. This guy walks up with his woman to the bar and asks for two beers.

PB: Poor Bartender

PB: That will be eight dollars.

SC: Eight dollars! That's BS!! Rant, rant, bitch, moan

PB: If you play at the bar, you can get free ones.

Oh, how I wish the bartender did NOT tell them that.

So SC gave himself and his wife a freaking DOLLAR and they both put it into the machine, the PB gave them the beer and the jerks hit cash out and never played a cent and I heard SC snickering that he just got free booze.

I wanted to kick his ass! Yeah, the prices are high but thats how they make money. The PB looked quite sad too. But I wouldn't have told the SC about the playing part but I guess he had too. Turns out it happens a lot. Jerks!

Yeah, THAT's how they make money, all that gambling stuff is just to draw people in.

Errr well that came out wrong but I guess its more of that's how the casino's screw you lol

You can't get a free drink at all in Canadian casinos. It's illegal in Canada to not charge for alcohol at a public place/event.

When I worked for a sports bar, I got to go with the owner to a big trade show sponsored by Labatts. In the VIP tent, instead of giving out free drinks, they had a bouncer handing out $10 bills to buy your booze with.

$4 for a beer? That sounds like a good deal to me. Then again, I tend to drink beer that's not cheap.

Yeah, $4 is nothing. Pub in Las Cruces charges $5.50 for a generous pint.

Hell, in New York City many places pints are 7 dollars per. A shot of Patron Silver is 14 dollars. Really curbs my drinking, lolol

You can't get a drink for $4 in the lowliest chain restaurant around here, it's minimum $5 just for a beer in a dive! And boy, are these some dives. In a decent place, $8 would buy you one beer. Whiner.

At sports bar and stuff, you can get a pint/bottle of $BAD_DOMESTIC for a couple bucks. But if you want a pint decent beer, you gotta pay at least $5. There's a couple exceptions tho, some of the bars around my neighborhood sell a couple of the local brews for $3 a pint. You can sometimes get a pint of PBC Kenzinger for $3, and the Standard Tap has been known to sell Yards Philly Pale Ales for $3.
