capitalism, cont'd:
the best thing you can do is vote with your pocketbooks
when a business charges more, and people stop buying, then the laws of supply & demand will take effect
if a ticket is too much money, don't go
if a drink is too much, don't buy it
we will notice, believe me
on the other hand, the better we do, the more ability we have to keep prices down (volume) - hence the drink prices have not been raised for several years...we knew the abrupt hike would piss everyone off, but we figured that was better than constantly raising them in relation to our increased costs
so if you want to look at your drink glasses as half full, consider how much you've been drinking for the past years for less than it should have been
