He was only in town passing through, so we just had a couple just to shoot the shit for a while. Not having to drive across town to another bar is certainly worth the $8. |

I hear Myrtle Beach has a worker shortage that restaurants are closed randomly, just depending on where staff shows up on any given day.
Unemployment pays $15ish/hr, why work hard for $18/hr? Kharn |

To be fair…if you’re paying for drinks out on the town…$2/drink isn’t something that should bother you. If you want to be cheap go to the liquor store.

Every skill less job is hiring right now. I have no sympathy for the people standing on street corners begging when there are 40 businesses in town that would pay them $15/hr all day long.

Sounds like they took tipping out of the equation for me.
Also encourages higher dollar drinks if it's a flat $2 for anything ordered. Hmmm, the bar owner in me has some wheels turning.... |

Quote HistoryQuoted: So a $4.50 drink goes for $6.50? No thanks. A gin/tonic is already $7.50 at that place, so it was $9.50. The place had about the same number of people drinking/eating as I would have expected for a Wednesday at that hour. |

Notice that the $5 premium is being paid until September. Couldn’t have anything to do with the $300 per week Biden bucks that is scheduled to end in September? Pure coincidence. Right?
It is hard for business to compete with the free taxpayer money being printed by Biden and the far left. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Who works for $17/hr? My wife worked there as a bartender years ago. She was paid $9.50 + tips back then, and she would clear $60k / year, even more if she was working swings shift on the weekends. I sort of wonder if they will actually make less as people start tipping less and less. |

Right? It is hard for business to compete with the free taxpayer money being printed by Biden and the far left. Oh it DEFINITELY has something to do with the extra $300 kicker. I don't even think they are trying to hide that fact. They're giving an additional $1000 bonus to employees that work from March - September. So if you started before March 30 and stay until September 31, you get a $1000 bonus. |

What was the price before the $2 per drink Biden tax? If it doubled the drink price of cheap beer, I would have trotted out of there like the horse lady. On the other hand, for good scotch, a $2 hike is easier to swallow. Although, in either case, one of the great lessons of the quarantine is how much cheaper and more pleasant it is to buy drinks at the grocery or liquor store and drink with friends in somebody's back yard.

A damn beer is at least $6.00 here usually $8.00+ On Fremont or The Strip, drinks are over typically closer to $7 for well / bottom shelf (at least as of when I was there in 2019). Of course, most casinos will give you free drinks if you're playing a machine/table games. Places off the strip might be a bit cheaper, though. |

San Francisco just added a 10% premium on all dine in food orders. I don’t go to San Francisco. If I did my tip would be very light. But if I were you I’d drink in the parking lot. Fuck em now they get nothing.
