I'll buy a round of 'Fuck That'!
  

October 10, 2006 - I'll buy a round of 'Fuck That'!

I had my complaints before, however this is fucking it. I want to find a bar [in Denver] with some decency. I was out a couple Saturdays ago to enjoy some socializing with friends at a venue I often frequent. Since having already been to another party and drinking my fair share for the night I decided that I was time for a soda.

Now I must admit, a stag soda isn't something I usually ordered at this particular bar, however this is a concern that has been building up for sometime having been to other establishments that are practicing the same ethic.

Glass designate, ice chosen, soda poured from its push-button delivery hose and placed at my hand. Following such routine, my ears echoed "2 dollars". It was an eternity in my mind as I thought; "What in the hell is going on here?! Why am I being charged for a 25 cent poor of a sugar-laden, bubbling-liquid in a venue which places a 250 percent mark-up on beverages of alcoholic value? Is this a karma thing? I am quite certain I haven't been charged here before. Whats going on?" However confused I was, I handed over my two dollars and continued to enjoy my night.

I just don't understand, can someone email me and let me know what the fucking justice is? Seriously, do you own, manage, or tend a bar? Send me an email! Is there no consideration that maybe the person ordering said soda is the designated driver or just a non-drinker? I can really understand paying maybe a dollar, but two? I just couldn't figure it out and decided to seek higher help.

I turned to the Motha-Fucking Pushbroom. Our discussion was brief, though concluded with "One does not simply borrow a soda, must one relinquish its container?" That said, bartenders, managers and owners just be certain that next time I'm charged two dollars for a soda, I'm keeping the fucking glass.
