“congestion pricing” - is that what is known as “supply and demand” in a free market?
I worked at a number of bars in NYC (SOHO,Hells Kitichen, Alphabet Streets) and Austin(6th st, warehouse dist) while at separate universities and have never seen a commercial distributor use 1/2 kegs for anything but ciders or craft IPA that sell in low volume. Every AHB product we had delivered was always frat party sized full kegs. I even pulled shifts with my roommate Brian as he load master for Brown distributing for time to time delivering AHB pisswater as a second part time gig. It was always full.sized kegs or cases of long necks by the shrink wrapped pallet full. I ran the bobtail if the run was a soft sides vs a lift gate.
The City rocked under Rudy love the man. I am also 6 foot plus and was coming out of the service using my GI bill at the time too so extra built. No one ever messed with me even as a older guy with a skin head and huge Viking sized beard people just move away. It helps to have the 1000 yard stare as resting face too. My tiny current wife looks like a child next to me we get the how can you let your daughter drink when out all the time. I just laugh and say daughter you mean wife. Ha

If I get to keep all the extra money I call it a cgbgocracy.
Economics is fun under cgbg’s rules!
Two levels of greedflation...AHB is charging $5 for something that at most is 7 cents per keg on a single trip, even at ten crossing in a day over a single run it’s only 70 cents per keg peak times. Then the whinny bar owners want another buck for single digit pennys worth of surcharge from AHB even including load due to “spills” which is really bartenders giving friend’s and regulars free drinks for increased tips. It is illegal not it should be illegal the city and state AG need to slap them down hard.
Cities exist for a reason. History has shown that when that reason no longer exist, the city begins to die and over time some cities cease to exist.
The question every business owner in a city must ask is, is the city necessary for my business? Can the business relocate and still conduct business? The decision will be a financial one. Of course many business survive only because they are in a big city, but then many can move elsewhere.
The “pandemic” was perhaps the beginning of the end for some cities.
The death of a city is (usually) not quick but spans centuries. Will New York remain a financial and cultural center of the United States? Only time will tell.
Good post.
The Democrat Party parasites think the cities they control will last forever.
They are very wrong.
They are killing the host.
I suppose this was the intention all along.
124 pints in a keg of beer. That’s 4 cents a pint.
Yep. If a conservative planned this, it would simply be to manage traffic, which is the ostensible goal here. But, since liberals likely planned it, the real goal is, “Ve vill make you valk or ride ze bicycle!”
Where is Archie Bunker now that we really need him?
HAAHAA
Sales of Bud Light won’t be affected.
In this case they are penalizing coming into the city.
That includes wholesale deliveries of all kinds, not just beer.
LOL, nicely done, ^5.
