False Advertising

After catching an advertisement for a great deal at a local pub for domestic beers, I stopped in to take advantage of this; when asked I requested a Yuengling lager, upon delivery I was in turn asked for $3.75, the same for a foreign beer…This was no deal by any standard! Of course I questioned about the happy hour domestic deal and I was told that Yuengling was not on the domestic list. Huh? Not only is it absolutely made here, it is the oldest American brewery in the United States! After calmly explaining all of this to the unimpressed barmaid, her retort was that, “domestic means whatever I say it is.” Not only is this false advertising but poor use of the English language I say. If this place wants to sell only the normal tasteless, garbage-water Bud/Miller Lite crap for cheap, fine, but don’t call it a deal for “domestic” products. Bars and clubs somehow are able to live by rules ungoverned when it comes to specials—take the ‘ladies night’ promo we all know and love, anywhere else this could be considered discrimination. Just because we’re killing brain cells doesn’t make us stupid!
