Tonight at the Ironclad Hotel at Marble Bar for our 4WD trip windup dinner.
Conversation goes like this:
JohnM: “What do you have in the way of red wine?”
Bar lady: “Cabernet, Cab Merlot, Shiraz.”
JohnM: “Cab Merlot, please.”
Bar lady comes back with a glass of red wine: “$9.”
JohnM pulls out CC.
Bar lady: “Minimum $10 on CC - but I can give you cash difference.”
(Aside: penny just drops as to why they charge $10 for a can of beer.
. Further aside: later informed by someone in the group that beer price is $7/can cash.
The bar lady didn’t tell me that the other night.
)
JohnM: “I’ll be having more than one; can I start a tab?”
Bar lady: “No.”
JohnM - exhibiting extreme cunning: “OK, give me two now, please.”
Winner.

The wine was actually not bad, but God only knows where it was from.
