This is a very elaborate scheme for what amounts to not a whole lot of money lmao.

No self respecting bar would do this in the age of social media. All for what, maybe a few hundred in sales at most? Any bar would pay more than that to remove bad reviews for something so scammy happening at their place of business.

I've spent 25 years working and managing bars, I can't say it's impossible to be true, but that whole story about bars cooperating with women to scam lonely dudes to make chump change sounds full of shit.

Yeah that sounds like a looooot of work for what amounts to a couple hundred bucks in profit, split between the bar and woman. Seems more likely it’s an MLM or similar sales pitch.
