Never seen the impressing part... usually if you want to eat cheap, you go somewhere cheap, if you want something more expensive, you're prepared to pay more, but you don't want to be surprised after.
So, noone who goes to a place like this cares if one soup is $12 and the other $14 and then pick the cheaper one... but if you have a $79 bottle of wine on the menu and a $7900 bottle of wine on the menu, it's in the interest of the restaurant to have the patrons know clearly that the expensive bottle is really really expensive, and having deceptive pricing there ("$7.9 per 0.7ml") only causes problems when the check arrives.

- ajsnigrutin 4y agoThis is also how shitty clubs scam tourists in many areas... There are bouncers infront of the clubs, "come on, come on, free welcome drink", tourists (mostly western european middle aged men) go inside, a "random, totally not hired by the club" hot girl or two join them, seemingly interested where they are from, flirt a bit, order a glass of wine, then leave.. and the tourists are left with 500eur+ bill for the wine. Although, bouncers have to distinguish eg. solo german men from eg. balkan construction workers, because the scam is somewhat less effective on those.
- ajsnigrutin 4y agoThis is like listening to americans when they try anything to avoid using metric units, but the imperial ones suck with representation... So.. how many cubic lawnmowers is this? example: https://twitter.com/KSHB41/status/1158871610876682240?lang=pt https://twitter.com/KSHB41/status/1158871610876682240?lang=p...
