I work in a popular bar in a fancy hotel/casino on the Las Vegas strip. We’re known for crazy and elaborate cocktails, so the price tag matches.
Customer: *Slapping the bill on the bar.* “Twenty-five dollars? For a cocktail? Are you kidding me?”
Me: “No, sir, that’s the menu price.”
Customer: “That’s ridiculous! Back home, I can get a drink for five bucks!”
Me: “And back home, you don’t have the Bellagio fountains behind you.”
Customer: “It’s robbery!”
Me: “Well, sir, it’s Vegas. You’re not paying for the drink, you’re paying for something much more priceless; plausible deniability for the rest of the night.”
The customer grumbles but still tips a few bucks, because, well… the drink IS very strong.
