having been in both businesses at some point in my life i know how easy it is to deceive customers. on the alcohol side of it, the bar i worked had a speed rack, i would keep my cheaper alcohol to the left side of me and work to the right. while i personally would not deceive customers it would be and is easy to do, if you like rum and coke and that is how you ask for it you will be getting the cheap stuff. now if you ask for a Bacardi and coke and you get the cheap stuff, you are being ripped off. the distillery process is supposed to be more refined for the more expensive alcohol, which comes out in the taste. i understand these owners where switching alcohol's to increase there profits, lets say on any bottle you make 300% profit and by switching you are now making 600% that is a lot. and just so you guys know that is almost an accurate figure, well it was for the bar i worked, it is probably higher now.
and as far as the gas goes we are and have been getting ripped off for many years. when i was young i can remember seeing the gas truck with the logo on the side delivering gas to the same station. now all you see is a blank truck delivering who knows what. while they may be putting super in the right tank, that super may not be so super. like alcohol it comes to the refining process.
