My war on Logic

I really hate paying a lot for drinks. However I hate it even more when a bar is charging you for a $2 can of Red Bull yet using the other brands energy drinks without informing you or charging it cheaper. These bars get the syrup for the energy drink just like soda at a huge discount but then charge what other bars charge for true red bull. It sucks that red bull only comes in cans and that overhead is always passed on to you however, i only want to pay for what I actually get.

A few years back a new bar in Chicago opened not to far from where a group of us lived. One night we all went there. I ordered a red bull and vodka and noticed he poured the "energy drink" out of the soda gun. Steve at the same time had order a rum and coke and commented on how it tasted different. Being the way I am, I got into an argument with the bar tender that he did not give me red bull. He kept saying he did and I pointed out that Red Bull only comes in a can and not a gun. After about 20 minutes the bartender finally admitted that it was RC's version of Red Bull. This now made since to why steve's drink tasted funny since it was an RC and rum. This bar had gone with RC's products in order to cut costs. I can understand that point however don't try to pass your cheapness off as the stuff that we ordered. If I order a rum and coke, I expect the person to tell me its pepsi or RC before they give me my drink. I am usually fine with it, I just want to know that I am getting something different then I ordered. Same goes now with the energy drink market. I understand that Red Bull is costly and harder to keep since you have to make sure you have enough cans. However just make sure that your not screwing the customer by charging $8 for a red bull and vodka yet your really not using the expensive product.
I am done bitching now.
