There’s a marketing strategy used by stores around us. If they want to increase an item’s price, say from $5, they’ll set the new price to be $8 but then mark it as discounted with the price sticker reading “Special discount. Only $6.99!!”. Never felt a lot like laughing.
Waiting for my flight at JFK airport last night I decided to have a beer. For a half pint of a craft beer: $18. Ridiculous. But not funny. Didn’t make it taste any better either.
Now at Helsinki airport waiting for my connecting flight. €4 for a single espresso.
Life is full of little embarrassments, like when you take a date to a restaurant whose prices are much much MUCH higher than you were expecting. So you end up splitting a glass of water with her.
Location, Location. Remember one time back in the mid-‘70s was at Mosport, a race track on a very hot sunny day walking with my friend carrying a cooler of ice and beer between us and beer on the other hand. Two guys walking towards us asking if we have any beer. I pull out one cold beer, ice cold, and said $5.00, They said a case of 24 beer cost only $3.80. I rely yes but look at this ice-cold beer here now. One guy hand over $5.00 and ask for an opener, no problem I said it was built into the cooler. He starts to drink his beer and his buddy asks for a drink, he said buy your own f—k beer. Location, Location. My friend ask me don’t I feel bad that I charge that much, NO I said we live in a free enterprising capitalist system. Ask the banks if they feel bad for charging high fees.
For those who have known me long enough on here. My nickname used to be “Half Pint”
I really don’t like Flo’s dresses. Sorry, Flo. It’s the exact same colour as the one I’m wearing in my avatar!

Yesterday I was sitting on the beach and this gorgeous dog (Honey) came over to say Hi and I was stroking/making a fuss of her etc. Out of nowhere she pinned me down on the sand trying to lick my face and as I was wriggling about trying to get her off me my dress rode up and now I’m absolutely terrified that the (male) owner saw my knickers! It was very likely he did. He apologised to me over and over again and I said it was OK. I was laughing but I was also mortified. Haha!
Also, I’ve managed to find an earlier appointment to give blood. My second attempt will be next Tuesday (16th May) at 5pm. Wish me Luck!

with this economy, Andy, he’s both.

Andy’s ‘craftiness’ leaves much to be desired!!!
rekam Premium Member over 1 year ago
Well, it is an expensive restaurant. Wait till he sees the prices of the food.
ronaldspence over 1 year ago
tell the waiter Andy’s two favorite beers are cold and on sale…

I wonder what the regular full price might be?

And people pay it for the atmosphere, that’s how rich people get rich
snsurone76 over 1 year ago
I believe that Capp’s reputation is already known in that eatery.
And they’re determined to make him pay for it!!
What they don’t know is that Flo (in her purple dress) will be paying for that dinner.

I was back in England recently and beer was selling for up to £14.50 a pint. Normal was about £4.50

Sounds more like Jack or a high end vodka.

At those prices the wait staff is usually topless.

Free Eldo!

That’s almost $25?! No way. I don’t believe there’s anywhere that Andy and Florrie would go where the ale is at that price. Free the ELDOs, now!!!!!

Airport prices are ridiculous.

A very bad comedian!
mywifeslover over 1 year ago
This waiter is wrong on two counts. First the price. The next error is that A day wouldn’t be seen with a half pint.

Looks like Flo’s dress came off of Dino from the Flintstones.

What would you expect at La Posh?
Count Olaf Premium Member over 1 year ago
And not a very funny one, either.

It isn’t really an in-house craft beer but actually Bud Lite they are trying to get rid of with a scam to make up their losses.

It pairs well with the crow Andy may be eating in a minute…?
elvisgirl3 over 1 year ago
At todays rate that would be 25.20 for 8oxz. I’d tell him where he could put his craft beer.
ladykat over 1 year ago
That’s an expensive beer!

Free the Eldos, they have been in your goal long enough! Actually they never should have been there!

I like craft beer and I would laugh at any location that tried to pass off any beer for 20 pounds a half-pint!

If he is a comedian, he’d better stick to his day job.
