Tim Richards<p>I've often wondered my bars and pubs don't list the prices of their beers, even though everything else is on the drinks list. It's always been like that, so I assume it came about in a time when beer was dirt cheap ($2 a glass or whatever) and so no one needed to know the price before they sank three of them.</p><p>"Imagine a product where you don’t know how much it costs until after you pay for it. Sometimes, you won’t even know how much you paid for it until you wake up in the morning with a hangover, financial or otherwise. At any other place, for any other product, this business practice would be widely shamed. Yet, at pubs and for beers, it’s par for the course. How do they get away with this?"</p><p><a href="https://aus.social/tags/beer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>beer</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/pubs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pubs</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bars" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bars</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/Australia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Australia</span></a> <a href="https://www.smh.com.au/business/consumer-affairs/how-a-13-schooner-pushed-me-past-the-pint-of-no-return-20250110-p5l3b1.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">smh.com.au/business/consumer-a</span><span class="invisible">ffairs/how-a-13-schooner-pushed-me-past-the-pint-of-no-return-20250110-p5l3b1.html</span></a></p>
