This trend of just adding 50-100% to the price of what actually expensive things cost (so you can bitch about it or chide people for paying it) is annoying.
Bro these stupid burger places charge $27 for a shitty burger!
No they don’t. They charge $15 for one, and it’s probably a great burger. Just go to McDonald’s and find something to whine about there too.
Why do I say this? I live in an expensive place and I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a bloody Mary cost more than $14, and to be clear that’s ridiculously expensive. $10-12 would be normal.

Bars charging $20-30 for a single cocktail is one of the reasons I don’t go to bars and McDonald’s charges $15 out here just for a quarter pounder, which is about the same as a regular sit-down restaurant which also has better quality.

Except there’s very little truth to this. My city is toward the top of list of most expensive places to live and I don’t pay more than maybe $16 for a cocktail. More likely $12.
You’re doing the exact thing I’m criticizing.

I was recently in Paris too. Apparently it works on their machine as well.
