Let

[madstu]

This is one thing that as an Australian does my head in when I come to America, the way the price quoted isn't what you pay. Even the government seems to nickle and dime you. A bottle that the menu says cost's $500 is actually 38.1% (20% grat, 8.1% tax & 10% LET) more - $690. Damnit just tell me that it costs $690 so I don't have to do the drunk maths.

they do that to lure you in with their cheap prices then hit you when you're stuck and have no other choice but to pay.
same with resort fees at all the hotels, they should just include that into the price but they don't so they can advertise a lower price and bait you then make you pay after your stay is already over.

I know why they do it, it pisses me off none the less. It used to occur here too until it was outlawed.

welcome to the club! lol LET is just another stupid excuse for the club to steal your money on top of the already marked up bottles.
