That's pretty impressive for two people, given relatively how cheap it was there.

I was part of a bar tab that was $15k. Luckily I didn't have to pick that up, they got it through expenses. I am not sure how!

if it's under $500 then you've never had table service before.

So if I'm reading that receipt correctly, the people bought a $925 bottle of vodka to mix it with red bull. Huh.

$1,400ish?

Tipitina's Halloween. God that was a rough pill to swallow.

ETA:

I was there with several friends for about 8 hours and I was covering for a buddy that lost his wallet and a girl I was fricking (and the friend never fricking paid me back).

$2,500 in Kuwait. Tab picked up by a Kuwaiti Sheik

There was another time where our CO was dating an heiress in Miami. She spent $18K covering the bar tab of our entire crew one night

Looks like it. I guess if you have the bankroll to even consider table service at a place like that, it's a drop in the bucket. Must have been one hell of a party.

that is pretty typical for bottle service. they normally just give you the mixers if you buy a bottle.

I've left some pretty stupid tips as well. Listened to a bartender's sob story about how she was struggling with money. Felt bad for her and left a $50 tip on a $15 tab. Ran into her at Best Buy the next day while she was buying a new 50" flat screen

If I'm spending that kind of money the owners are with me and I'm the CFO so I'm not worried about getting it through expenses

Goose is what? $40 a bottle at most? That's close to a 2200% markup.

Little over $3200.00 at Treasures in Houston. Me, the boss, 2 other salesmen and 3-4 customers. All I remember is my boss asking for my company AmEx. I gave it to him. Never thought anything of it till the next morning when I got a phone call from our controller asking me WTF had I done. Quite an unpleasant experience when you're hung over, smell like stripper perfume and still have glitter on you. Luckily my boss put the matter to rest

It's just seems to me that if you are paying for vodka that is that expensive the point is to taste the vodka. You would be drinking it neat or on the rocks. I'm no connoisseur of such things so I may be wrong, but it seems pretty tacky to me. Like someone has big money but doesn't have taste or know what to do with it. Their money though they can do what they want with it.

I'm sure it's a stupid mark up like everything else on that receipt, but I just assumed that it's some specialty bottle or something.
