    The bar example is terrible. Speaking as someone who spent college mixing in bars something like 50-60hrs a week, the whole point of going to a bar is to go to a bar often enough that you get free alcohol. If you're meting it out a tenth of an ounce at a time there's zero point in me paying double to triple what it would cost me at the grocery store.

This whole thing screams of horrible all around. It sounds like some faceless manager trying to squeeze blood from a stone.
