Things That Shit Me the Eighteenth

I just came back from Vegas. A corona at Planet Hollywood was $18 usd which equates to around $27 for a stubby ( plus recommended 15% tip).
I bought one, then duly walked out .
Vegas is a joke

I'm so glad we don't have tipping. Such a ****ing pain in the ass

Planet Hollywood. There is your problem.

Pretty much the entire strip unless you went further up towards Circus circus which was way too dodgy for my liking

They were free at the 5c slots last time I was there.

Getting a barmaid to come up to you at the 5c slots is as rare as hens teeth.
Mind you, I don't play those rotten things anyway

I remember the first time I went to the US. I didn't realise what a big thing tipping was over there. I went on a tour to Tijuana. At the end I saw everyone tipping the tour guide. I reached in my pocket for my loose change. It was about 30c. I gave that to the tour guide. If looks could kill. But there was no way I was giving her the smallest note I had, which was a $20 IIRC.

Yep I've been in that situation a couple times before, like the LA transfer to my hotel. All I had were 50s and it's like you cant really ask for change for tips.

And then being at a bar, needing 1s to tip the bartender, etc. It's just ****ed. I tip here maybe at fine dining restaurants and I tipped an awesome taxi driver one time, but that's it.

Switzerland is expensive full stop. Our dollar being worthless against the Franc just makes it worse.

When I went it was about 0.95:1, then I went back a few years later and it was 0.7:1. Now it's 0.53:1.

Nice place to go and look at mountains and lakes and whatnot but for what the country is now it's not worth $35 Mcdonald's meals and similar.

What are you doing man! Hit the tables and drinks are free. We sat at the $2 blackjack table playing one night between 4 of us ordering double bourbon and cokes for long enough that we felt we got our value from the table. Then jumped in a limo in the taxi rank like the worlds shittest, bogan Oceans 11 to the next casino 100m away

 

[PowerfulPies2023]

Hokball phrase.

Absolutely ****ing stupid.

We found a bloke that looked like a mate of ours so we made him hang out with us, bribing him with drinks, and rang our mate in Australia to tell him. Neither bloke cared nearly as much as us drunk flogs. When we looked back at the photos he didn’t really look much like him after all that. What a time to be alive
