Hey Lenbert ! Peace Mon' Good explanation of your intentions of the tour and your investigations of the "over-pricing" topic. When we were at Bella Donnas with you, she sang a really nice song for all of us. She was very cordial. Lenbert, keep up the good times, you are to be commended. Maybe you should have a title like "Minister of Tourism" or something. Keep smiling, mon' Your friend Todd "Rock'n'Roll Farmer". PS Cold & rainy in Minnesota today ! 50 degrees.
That's valid too, but I'm saying "I'd rather buy a beer where it costs less so I won't buy one here."Quote:
The people who are saying, "whats the big deal?" are probably thinking, "I'm on vacation, what's a few more bucks? I'm here to enjoy myself"
Easy to say, harder to do when you've already had a half dozen red stripes and you're thirsty!Quote:

Once at a beach hotel bar I ordered a Ting and then asked for water and was informed that I "couldn't fly on water here". Uum, I beg your pardon, but as a guest of the hotel I think I can "fly" on just about whatever I like. Needless to say, no further tip, and no further business. Countless trips later, they just watch me walk on by....
?? Hmm wondering which hotel this is ??
Ummm....I am a season ticket holder for both the Cards and the Rams....could you point me towards the 8 buck 24 oz beer?Quote:

There is a small shop next to AhhBees.One morning my wife and I were going to AhhBees for Burgers and he wasn't open yet.We went inside the little shop,it has a couch a couple chairs and a small bar.There is an old Rasta in there and we decided to get a couple coffees and wait for Aubie to open.I ordered the coffees and he went and made them.They were very good coffees.When it was time to leave I asked him how much I owed him,he said $10.I said you got to be fu#@ing kidding me.He just looked at me with a blank look on his face as if I was an idiot.I guess I was since I didn't ask how much a coffee cost.So he got his $10 and we left.This **** is really too bad as they were really good coffees and if he hadn't ripped me off he would have made the $10 many times over as I spend at least five weeks a year there and I really like quality coffee.I don't think they even realize that by doing this to people they are losing more money than they ever get for the one time ripoff.
Ah we all live and learn. Was told a local housekeeper made the best coconut pie. I asked her to make me one. Well she came the next day with two because "they were small" How much?? 20$ each. She growled something as I refused the second one. But hell it was great pie.
