ROB or just a hustler?

Everything written by this member is a fact.
Last night I was at a club I'd been to multiple times over the past few years. A new bartender came on duty along with the dancer shift change. She came over and asked if I wanted a drink as I had nothing in front of me. I said sure, make it a draft. I was intoxicated and silly me didn’t give any additional details to my order. She immediately gives me the beer. It was in a different style glass than my beer is normally served in, but I didn’t question it as I had completely forgot that there was more than one brand of beer available. It didn’t register until my last swallow when I noticed that it tasted a little different than my regular beer. The bartender asks if I want to another. I ask how much was that one, knowing the answer. She says $5.50 plus a tip if I want. I just paid her, no tip, and moved to a table, away from the bar.
Now had she just asked which brand of beer I wanted, I would've said a domestic ($4.25) and got a few more from her and she would've got a tip considering the service as a standalone was good. I certainly would not have done the import for $5.50 especially since I only noticed the difference for the last swallow.
Is this ROB behavior or does something have to be promised or implied that she didn’t deliver?
A similar story could be used for happy hour vs. non-happy hour prices? Would that be a ROB?

Hopefully, this hardcore ROB shit will end soon, and they will go back to stealing your wallets, puking on you, tricking you into pet sitting, and having their psycho boyfriends call you at 3am.
When i was in Germany last year at a club, I offered to buy a dancer a drink. When she ordered a "champagne" generically, I immediately halted the purchase to find out that the cheapest champagne was 80 Euro a glass and the most expensive ones were 500+ Euro., then got the hell out of there. I have no reason to believe the bar tender was not about to hook her up with the 500 Euro drink.
I have never tried ordering a beer without saying the brand, but I would have expected them to give you the cheapest one like with well drinks.
This should be instructive for a career as a bathroom troll. If a guy asks for a condom, you had better believe he is expecting an Equate and not some ripoff brand like Lifestyles or Trojan.
