In an earlier post and update -Graineys-$5.50 x 5=29.15-Update/Comments- I spoke of my surprise at at bill of 29.13 for 5 $5.50 scotches. After questioning the management and the staff. I tipped the bar and paid my bill. It was a minor thing and besides posting it that was the end of the story. 
Not quite. After a long day at the end of a long week, I figured Graineys would have dropped their “stupid tax†and I could get a drink. After all ol’ Toms is about the last place to see real music downtown. Wasn’t even thinking about the mix-up of last week.
Since the music wasn’t happening, I only had a drink. When I went to pay the little light bulb went off. Better check the bill. Yep, it read $5.83. When I complained the manager snatched my recept and then handed it back to me. Saying it was taken care of???
The big surprise came when a bouncer came up and asked me to leave. Worked in enough bars to not argue. At this point I was still not that pissed. However when the bar staff made it a point to publicly humiliate me and let all of the patrons know I was being removed it became personal.
So, Boisee readers, any of you like to go and see if I am the only one getting charged extra? Let me know. At this point I still don’t want to make a big deal out of this, or cause the bar any grief. Just want an apology and have this fraudulent, deceitful practice stopped.
I did contest the charges through my bank. Don’t see any reason to pay an extra 6% for a drink because I am using a debit card. Especially without notice.
Let me add a quick review of both posts.
If you buy a drink at Grainey’s and pay with your card (not cash) you will be charged an extra 6%. It is not listed on your reciept as a extra fee or as the accountants call it a "line item." Just the total appears. No where in the bar is there a sign telling the public of the addtional charge. You will not be told by your bartender of the extra 6%! If you question this charge you may be publicly embarrassed and thrown to the street.
