the price of shoes

"He didn't have money to buy us new shoes every three years, but he always had money for his case of whiskey every month." My Dad on My Grandfather

Two years ago

$5.50 a drink X 6 per evening = $33 + $12(typical service industry over-tipping) = $45
$45 X 5(days a week) = $225 X 52(weeks a year) = $11,700

Today
$3 a drink(managerial discount) X 2 per evening = $6 + $4(basic tipping) = $10
$10 X 2(days a week) = $20 X 52(weeks a year) = $1,040

$10,660 dollars. That buys more than a few new kicks.
