They were the group that lobbied for the change to begin with. Airport and hotel bars where you always get a printed bill with your total will switch as well. But I just can't see busy downtown bars ringing up and handing out a bill for every purchase. So it makes zero sense for them to do anything other than A)pass it on when they do credit card tabs or B)raise prices across the board

Do restaurants really pose competition for bars anyway? Their drinks are usually a lot more expensive even if they do give you a receipt breaking it down.

It's a bum deal for bars because they can't realistically adjust prices any less than 25 cents at a time.
