Bodega Dude at 84th and Lexington

Hey Bodega Dude at 84th and Lexington,

You know what - YOU SUCK.

How dare you charge $14 for a six pack of beer!

Sure, it's the Troegenator Hop Back, a DELICIOUS beer brewed right here in the USA, and yes, you have that "we sell craft beers" poster, but that's no excuse for butt raping my wallet.

Screw off.

Fourteen dollars. The same six pack in Astoria is $10.50.

And besides, the alcohol content of this particular beer is HALF that of other craft beers. It's only 4.4% you butt raper.

I feel violated by you. I feel the way those comic-con people must feel now that big corporations have taken over what used to be specialty items, releasing new crap every quarter KNOWING THAT THE DEVOTED (borderline addicted) FANS WILL BUY THE SHIT. How many Star Wars products does the world need, really?

I've worked for Hasbro and Wizards of the Coast (Magic The Gathering) - the nerds are going broke trying to keep up with the new releases.

My point is, just because I have a refined taste for delicious beer doesn't mean I deserve to be violated.

Reduce the price to $11 or even $12. Please. D'Agostinos has decent beers for $10.50 and they're across the street. I understand I have to pay the bottle deposit, but its only $0.30 extra. You're upcharging $3.00.

Luckily Matt's going on tour so I won't have to spend too much time on the upper east side, but still, you should lower the price.

Do so and you will no longer suck.
