Andy Capp by Reg Smythe for May 12, 2016

Chalkie’s got a point there

Andy’s glass looks like root beer……… as well as being larger

Andy says, isn’t malta something they put in the beer..?

Andy’s such a loyal customer he should be grandfathered in at the old price.

Andy is typical. When bars are forced by the beer monopolies to raise their prices, it’s usually the moochers and malcontents who scream the loudest.

There is very little profit in beer ( compared to wine and spirits ) for the average bar owner and most places try to keep the prices – especially draft beer – down to an affordable level for their clientele.

Draft beer drinkers in most countries are, by and large, working class people, college students, or retirees – living on a limited budgets and fixed incomes. The raise in price – even in small increments – affects them much more than a rise in drink price for a martini drinker,

As usual, a rise in consumer prices affects those who can least afford it.

When does Andy ever PAY for his beer??He always mooches off of everyone else to buy a round!!

Beviek I can’t reply to your post but you know which one I mean

I see they’re once again dipping into that well-known book “How To Telegraph The Punchline”…….

With Andy, you would think he would still make a Profit based on Volume alone!

Chalkie shoots and he scores!

@ Linguist. Sometimes beer is treated as necessity with inelastic demand. Any marginal price increase affects effective demand of all other residual commodities below it with consequences. Treasuries beware!!!!
