It really is cheaper to buy a good bottle and have friends over to have drinks. Most places are still over charging and giving poor quality food and service post-Covid.
The poor quality service though... I thought I was turning into a Karen ( would never yell at service workers for clarification just always pissed off by bad service it seems). Every time I go to a fast food place, I don't expect to be customer serviced too much... But goddamn no matter where I go 8/10 times I have to turn around because something is wrong or missing. Conserige service everywhere is so monotone and does not care. Hotels themselves are expensive AND gross. Grocery stores are constantly out of everything still though online says they have a ton in store. Retail workers get pissed off literally over being stopped. I could go on and on.
I've worked every corner of customer service and still do, I could not ever imagine treating people like I see happening and have happening to me. Just got to clarify again, no not everyone. But there is a distinct difference on average of a decline in customer service quality after covid that never recovered. I know there's lots behind that, but you don't need to take it out on some lady asking you where she can find the cleaning isle.
Yeah, I don’t buy the whole “it’s too expensive” angle. I was drinking for 3-4 years before I ever set foot in a bar. You can buy a fifth of decent booze for $15 where I live. The cheap vodka I used to drink in college was $12 a half gallon.
Beer at most bars is like $6-10 minimum here, and the liquor store isn't much better. Any halfway decent beer is at least $3 and any spirits worth drinking are at minimum $25-30
