Default Was it my Tommy Bahama shirt?

We haven’t been to the square in a while so last afternoon we went to LSL for music on the square. During happy hour I went to the bar on the square and ordered a double Absolut soda and a double Jack and ginger ale. $18 was the total. Is that the price now for a double premium? I remembered $6 each. I am not complaining and just paid, tipped and moved on because there was a line behind me . I think I will wear a tank top next time

I noticed the prices have gone up at the corner bars also. I like the bars that offer half price on everything rather than just well drinks during happy hour.

Maybe they were punishing you for the sin of ruining a fine whiskey like Jack Daniels by mixing it with ginger ale.

What a waste.

$18.00 total for 4 shots of premium = $4.50 per shot plus soda (which the company must buy, cup and employee wages) while wearing a totally inflated priced Tommy Bahama shirt...just saying...ok

Yea, it doesn't seem that $4.50 is out of line. I've paid up to $9.00 for a shot of Jack Daniels (neat of course)

Prices are up on just about everything. I had no idea of those kind of prices for drinks on the Square. I purchase very little outside drinks. We purchase what we care and drink it with friends or family at home. I see too many “over indulging” on the squares and restaurants in TV and then getting in their cart or vehicle heading home or elsewhere.

I ordered a shot of Crown neat at a bar and the bartender gave me a totally blank look. He didn't know what I meant! Is it such a "boomer" terms that younger people don't know what it is?

Shirts do matter. I got crap for the shirt I was wearing the other day from one of the golf ambassadors. My shirt was well within the published dress code. A button down collared shirt with sleeves that went almost to my elbows. My shirts label said Carhartt, not Tommy Bahama, Tommy Hilfiger, or Izod. Apparently the ambassador has a thing against Carharrt, or any shirt that has a pocket. I like the pocket for my T's and divot fixer, and it cost about 1/4 the price of a shirt from one of the hoity toity apparel companies. Also, Carhartt represents the average working class Joe, which is my style. I told the ambassador that the dress code is posted in every pro shop if he wanted to check it out. I don't think he was aware of the dress code since he was working at Hacienda Hills, and their pro shop was torn down?

Default Overpriced beer

We went to Cody’s in Brownwood a few weeks back. We went during their “happy hour”. Two Blue Moon beers, at BYGO was a little over $9.00!!! Are you kidding me? For a Blue Moon. Won’t be going back there any time soon...
