All of these fees and charges just chaps my ass.

HOME OF THE FEE.

*******************************

That coffee is much worse than the CNF fee,@ 4.7%.Consession and franchise fee.

I must be on the menu as to the price,right?  The term, blindsided is a perfect description!  Thanks,David!!!!!!!

"I didn't see that coming".  BAM,in the pocketbook.

Surprise,you just got bent over.Much like the resort fees+tax.

 

An extra tax on food.

'Whiskey

Tango

 Foxtrot.',people.

 

Surprise,that Vodka Martini will cost you $30.Infuriating!

  If you have a roll 100 dollar bills stuffed into your trousers,you won't care.

Buy a beer at the bar inside Cheri's Ranch Brothel and pay with a twenty and you didn't get any change back. What?Another CNF fee? 

"Oh,I thought that the rest was a tip",she says with a smile.

I'm just that that stupid or drunk yet.

 

If the menu states the price of your item,read the fine print at the bottom.If you don't pay attention,you may also be the one that is blindsided. So, what is that saying? "Fool me once,shame on you,fool me twice,shame on me!"

 

I will not be surprised that that will happen in non-Las Vegas places.Orlando or New Orleans or in New York?

 "Oh,the extra dollar that is stuffed into your Corona is for the lime".

  (Candy gets all of my limes.)

 

Sure,you can get your own coffee and bring it into a place to eat,so you won't pay the WTF coffee price.Shall we bring our own limes,too?The TSA won't allow that in your carry-ons.

 

There is an entirely new level of frugalness that we must explore.

Thank you, Dave.

 

Ever heard of a passenger who does carry-on limes?  Me.  Really.  Mostly on the charter flights.  Sun Country serves a free cocktail of your choice.  This includes gin and tonic, but but they don't have limes!!!!  WTF is gin and tonic without a lime?  So I learned to slice and bring my own from home.   Southwest happened to be out of limes one day...I hadn't anticipated that.  So now I carry on always...limes that is.

 

(Dave, if we ever end up on the same flight I'll have lime to share.)

 

- Gin and tonic without lime?

- Burger and fries without Coke?

- Breakfast without coffee?

 

No way for all of the above.  Call me high maintenance.  

For me, the tipping point was when casino buffets stopped providing complimentary wheelbarrows so you could leave in comfort when you were finished. What's a buffet without wheelbarrows?

 

Candy, maybe it's not the same thing, but how about carrying one of those plastic bottles of lime juice that look like limes? Maybe it could also be used to deter a mugger ("One step closer and I'll squeeze this thing!"). Great conversation starter with the TSA people as well ("FRED! Get the contraband substance list, willya!").

 

Whatever you do, I'm happy to see that you plan your drinking carefully. So MANY people just do it spontaneously, and then find that they're without limes--the horror! the horror!

Thank you  Kevin.   Always good to receive a backhanded compliment. 

 

TSA is fine with my container of lime wedges.   

 

Should you ever try gin and tonic without lime you will understand the "horror."  It is amazing, the difference the lime makes.  

 

Bottled lime and lemon juice--I'll pass.   They are a poor substitute for the fresh.
