Rip-off artists and their winelists

[barnesy]

Being in the wholesale biz, I see this every day. I haven't bought wine at a restuarant in over a year, and then it was a well priced bottle.

It was described to me in a rather concise way when I was being trained and we were at a rather high end grocery store. To paraphrase "they'd rather sell one candy bar at $100 than sell 100 at $1." When ever I open up a new account, I try to talk to the owners or management about reasonable pricing, but I might as well be talking to a rock. Why have reasonable prices when everyone else is bending the customer over.
