situation five: the drinks
I need to get drinks. I go to the bar to buy four. I give the bar tender £20. He gives me £1.27 change. I don’t really know how much drinks cost in this place or indeed any bar or club that I have been to. The bar tender can charge anything, and who would know?
Complain a little, you don’t get served, complain a lot, you get thrown out. The next time I go up I decide to have a bottle of water instead, except that costs £2. So I choose to have tap water. The bar tender refuses. I ask for a glass of ice instead.
Bingo.
