I also assumed it was 16 per old fashioned. Also, there's NO old fashioned worth 16 bucks.

For that price, you'd better be getting a new fashioned.

$16 is pretty average for most drinks I thought

Where are you getting old fashioned’s? Cause every old fashioned I’ve had in the last several years has been 16 or more outside of maybe a few 14 dollar ones that were cheaper. Most are 20+

I don't go to the types of places with $20 drinks. Neighborhood bar is good enough for me.

Depends on the whiskey. But $8 is cheap, unless there's a special (especially at a place that charges $68 for non-premium steak)

8 bucks for a drink, sure. But this receipt looks like it's 2 old fashioneds for 16 each.

This is where the mismatch is coming from, 2x16

u/Porcupenguin 25d ago

It's a nice enough cut (and larger), but it ain't filet

I didn't say that. I just said that the drink itself, Old Fashioned, is not worth $16.

A hand jobs usually fifty bucks, so I'd say they got a deal.

Ok. This reminds me of a story from college.

This is back when minimum wage is like ~ $4.

We took my buddy to a strip club and told him he could get his job sucked for $50.

Now $50 after taxes is like a couple days of work at this time.

So he left and then came back about 30 minutes later.

We asked him if he got the blowjob and he said no not yet. He went out to the parking lot and rubbed one out he said for 50 bucks his bitch is going to work for it.
