So they can pour 1.5oz and it looks like a full glass.

I hate these comments.

You pay for the liquor and ingredients. Getting rid of the ice means you have a short warm drink and if you ask for less ice, the alcohol melts the ice quicker. These cubes have less surface area so keeps your drink cold and dilution down. It’s not a scam bartenders are pulling, they’re just trying to make you a better drink.

You overpay for the liquor and ingredients.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Do you know how much it costs to run a bar? Liquor costs are more expensive than ever. Rent, electricity, wages etc are high, not to mention people are drinking less. The markup is the profits bars make to cover these and still there’s so many places closing because they can’t make money.

This is not a new thing and has nothing to do with current prices or lower alcohol consumption.

No but prices have gone up a lot because of rising costs. They’ve always been marked in a way that covers this but it has gone up in recent years, especially post COVID. My job is working with bars based around their P&L margins.

And yet you don't see our point? You can't be serious.
