re: Question about ordering drinks and bartending

That thread had me torn on what I thought.

I agree with you and bbap though.. You should not be charged for something that you did not ask for just because they decided to give it to you. That's not fair and that's stealing from people.

Someone mentioned Sullivan's as an example of a place that automatically makes doubles. This is how I see it.. Sullivan's is known for expensive drinks. You know that going in there. If a drink is $10 on the menu, and just so happens to be a double, that's great. You know you're not necessarily overpaying. But if a bar offers doubles AND singles .. and they're giving you doubles when you don't specify, that's shady!
