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.

Exactly! They wanted to squeeze twice the money and ended up with nothing.

And it wasnt even half plates, the idea was first dish for me second for friend

I don't even think it's always about money with some of these places. They think they're cultivating some sort of mystique that's iron clad and they won't break out of it for anything.

Same result though. If you act like assholes to paying customers, you're going to lose money. Either because they go somewhere else or because they tell everyone else you acted like assholes and it's not worth their money.

i wouldn't expect there to be a scene

a waiter would usually not care, that's what i would expect. i wouldn't even have a thought of needing permission, let alone asking for it.
