Whats on Tap
Charge me for what?
So, my friends and I were out at Sportstown Billiards last night, off of Bumby in Orlando. We like this bar -- for the most part.
On the plus side, Sportstown has reasonable prices for beer, a tasty Cuban sandwich (and pasta salad!) and Scrabble. On the negative side, you need to constantly keep track of how many beers you've had or how long you've been playing pool. The staff is friendly as hell, but they'll put the screw to ya if you aren't watching. Many a time, I've been overcharged for beers or pool time, as well as others I know. This is a major complaint about Sportstown, which sucks because it's such a great bar.
Well, that said, we all still go there, we just keep a watchful eye on our tabs. At the end of last night after a game of Scrabble and Hedbanz (imagine 20 questions with a silly headband on your head) we discovered another flaw about Sportstown, again a money issues. They charged my friend $3.50 to use his credit card. His tab was like $20 and they wanted to charge $3.50 on top of it. He had a valid point as he loudily voiced his opinion to the bartenders letting them know there isn't a business in town that would charge for use of a credit card, especially at that outrageous percentage.
And then to boot, he noticed they charged him for an extra beer. Figures. I'm not saying don't go there folks because it's a cool bar, just watch the amount you drink and keep your mind on your money and your money on your mind, because they'll make sure they get it if you don't pay attention.
