Question How cheap is cheap?

Went to Cane garden a few weeks ago and was glad to see they resumed their summer special.
Price Fix dinner $11.95, includes soup or salad, choice of entree and desert (no substitutions) with purchase of a beverage.
Great deal. Entrees even include a 7 oz. sirloin which is quite good.

Fast forward... price is now $12.95!!!!
Asked server why the increase and was told people complained because they had to buy a beverage.

So to all my fellow Villagers who enjoy a sweet tea, a cup of coffee or maybe a beer or a glass of wine with dinner you are now paying a $1.00 more for dinner to make up for all the cheapskates who won't spring for a drink with dinner.
