I won't even to to places that charge extra for using credit. Very few exist anymore though.

OK, I think I'm following now. But whatever the decision, keep the prices the same, regardless of form of payment.

Also, note that it will annoy people who didn't bring in a ton of cash. First, they'll complain that they don't have enough cash. If they don't, they'll be made that they're paying more than other people for the same product. If they do, then they'll peel some bills out of their wallet to pay for it and will mentally treat the bar as being cash only, which means they'll leave relatively quickly and head to a bar where they can use their card.
I'm really not a fan of the idea.

I tip a dollar per drink, usually. Unless I'm at a bar I don't give a shit about, then I tip one dollar on the first drink and then on every other drink.

Bad law but trying to pass the cost to only cc users is bad business.
Raise prices across the board. An extra .25 per drink isn't what makes or breaks a bar.

BTW, Kyle, I do not disagree with the stupidity of the law nor the further raising of taxes. I just do not see how implementing it is going to be as difficult as you seem to think.
Of corse with the "everything is bigger in Texas" mentality, I can see very easily how everyone will blow this up to make it a bigger problem than it really is. ![]()

has nothing to do with being cheap man. Generally a $2 drink is a flippin beer. You don't get a $1 tip for taking off the cap for me. this is one of the reasons I stay away from the bar and sit at a table.

I'd say raise prices to .20 or .25 are the only option here.. Cushion the blow with some sort of special or something.
