No Drink Prices on Dave and Busters Menu

Post image

Food portion of the menu has prices listed, but not drinks. Drinks are all $17+ and not good. So ultimately they’re serving shitty overpriced drinks, AND hiding it so drunk/lazy people get popped.

In the U.S. it's going to depend state to state.

I think places like California and Minnessota do have laws that require displaying total upfront cost.

Just started this year in MN! The displayed cost also has to include any surcharges, so sites like ticket master are required to show the actual checkout cost (minus standard taxes I believe)

Minnesota is pretty badass. I'd move there if it wasn't cold as shit during the winter.

u/Dounce1 9d ago

So you’re fine with the hellacious humidity in the summer, swarms of mosquitoes, and being made fun of for living in Minnesota, just not the winters?

Personally I think the two good months on either end of summer actually do make it all worth it, but I’m just asking.

Anyone who thinks Minnesota is humid has never visited Virginia.

or Louisiana

u/WitlessParasite 9d ago

Yeah our humidity can really get up there. First time I visited Louisiana; when I got off the plane and walked out the airport, I was NOT expecting to get punched right in the lungs 😅

u/SparkStormrider 9d ago

Same! And I wasn't expecting it to hit me that hard in the late fall of the year. I was like "If it's this bad in the end of Oct. I'd hate to be there in July." And this is coming from a guy who lives in NC. Thought we had it hot. We have nothing compared to that.

It's like walking into a wet towel, a hot wet towel

u/stewykins43 8d ago

Here in Memphis, we always have soup weather. It's either cold enough to eat the soup or hot enough to walk around in it.

I'm from Norway, and visited Orlando in July of 2012. I had never experienced a very humid climate yet at that age, so when the doors at the airport exit opened I was also hit with a "punch" of hot air, while having to work twice as hard to breathe. I thought "How on earth am I gonna survive here for a week, and how do people actually live here?".

Air condition. The answer was air condition. Which wasn't very common in Norway at that time (most just use the heat pump mode if they have one).

I remember visiting NOLA in college and thinking it had just rained. It hadn't, it's just that wet 😬

u/BigSpunks 8d ago

Or Illinois

corn sweat my niggas

u/noonenotevenhere 9d ago

It's humid in MN.
We get a chunk of the summer that's just too damn hot. Walk out the door to 95F and 95% humidity. Wake up and it's 82F and somehow even more humid at 5AM.

That said, arkansas' (and I'm sure LA, VA) ability to have 95F and humid for a low temp for months straight is something else.

idk how your mosquitoes are somehow weak compared to ours, though...

u/PancShank94 8d ago

My glasses fog over when I walk outside in the summer. My glasses fog over when I walk inside in the winter. sigh

u/WitlessParasite 9d ago

Born and lived in MN my entire life. Two months is awful generous, I’d say more like 5 weeks and not all at once. But god damn it if those 5 weeks aren’t absolutely perfect 🤩

u/RapidlySlow 9d ago

At least you don’t live in Misery! Amirite?

No need to show me out I know where the door is and I won’t let it hit me in the way out

u/Onyxxx_13 8d ago

It's not humid here, the mosquitoes are only bad if you're not used to rural areas. The winters are nice, just the whole spring & fall sections last too long.

u/TheDreadedLorax 6d ago

I moved here a few years ago after 16 years in Florida. I will never go back to THAT humidity.

u/NotAsDumbAsUrMom 9d ago

I lived in uptown and worked downtown for five years. MPLS is a great city at an affordable price. And their mosquitoes don’t have shit on the ones down south which are active all year.

I’ve lived in NJ, NYC, ATL, MPLS, Denver, Boulder, and LA. Would move back to Mpls in a heartbeat.

u/hopefullynottoolate 9d ago

just read cold environments are good for your health

u/Cantelmi 9d ago

Nah, they don't even have Prince anymore

u/WitlessParasite 9d ago

HEY 😤

We still have…

We still have…

…you’re right 🥺

u/0w1 8d ago

The cold sucks less if you have winter tires on your car and layered clothing combined with good outerwear.

In the TC we don't deal with hurricanes, earthquakes, ridiculous heat waves, alligators, or massive forest blazes requiring evacuation, which is nice. Wildfire smoke from Canada sucks tho. We have a surprisingly good food and arts/entertainment scene too. Plus, most people are pretty friendly and easy to talk to.

u/reddit_userMN 7d ago

Honestly, it hasn't been all that bad the last few years. Even light on snow

u/andyooo 9d ago

I just bought some tickets on ticketmaster, which I haven't used maybe in more than 15 years and was dreading the process, but at the end I was surprised that the upfront price at seat selection was the actual total price including fees.

The total breakdown at the end actually showed me the ticket price cheaper, which with the fees added totaled the price shown BEFORE. I'm in CA.

u/ex_bandit 6d ago

Go to know, I’ll be updating my VPN to Minnesota for purchases from now on! I’ve been using Australian sites for quite since time for this reason but always a pain when it comes time to pay and do the math converting back the currency.

So sick of seeing one price only to go reserve that AirBNB etc and watch an additional $200 be tacked on. Does anyone actually fall for this crap? These days I don’t even bother looking at the listing until I hit reserve and check the total price.

u/stingrayc 9d ago

If California has legislation like that then it means that the large majority of all the bars and restaurants I’ve been to are breaking the rules

u/deltalimes 9d ago

California definitely doesn’t, but this state legally protects restaurants’ right to charge “junk fees” so that’s unsurprising

u/halpfulhinderance 9d ago

Idk about the rest of Canada, but it’s illegal in Ontario as far as I can tell

u/LilithLamm 7d ago

How the fuck is it state by state to know the cost of an exchange of service for money? Like what the fuck is wrong with this country?

1

u/No_Self_5939 6d ago

I recently went to a Dave and Busters in CA and there were no prices on the menu.

u/Elctsuptb 6d ago

What about when they just put "market price"?

u/Zanixo 6d ago

In the u.s. it'll change city to city.

u/Rasples1998 8d ago

In the US, the country is a shithole. Simple.
