High priced drinks... A rip off

I don't think that it is any surprise to any of us about how over priced drinks are at strip clubs. But it is the same thing at Disney Land, a rock concert or any event where you are a captive addience. Last week, while happy hour was going on at my favorite club, I deceided to have a Martini as I was about to go to dinner and it sounded good to me. I hadn't had one in a long time. Normal price for a coke during happy hour is $1.25. Add rum and it goes to $2.75. I ordered the Martini, half expecting the server to come back and ask if I wanted Gin or Vodka but the bar tender knew the difference ( if you want Vodka instead of Gin, you ask for a Vodka Martini). It was good but it was also $6. Does that mean that the regular price is $11 or $12? I asked the server about the price. She replied that if the drink contains more than one kind of booze( in this case Gin and Vermouth) the price doubles. I left and went to my favorie Mexican restraunt. Not a chain but just a family operated restraunt. Always good. I ordered a Margaritta. Just $2. It was not happy hour and the drink contained more fluid ounces than the Martini that I just had. I know that we will continue to pay these high prices but I am glad that my favorite club does not have special dancer priced drinks.
Got something to say?
