Ld At Dollshouse Double Priced??

Reading another forum and there seems to be a 'scam' going on, according to locals that some of you may have heard of.
I post the thread because one of the locals (10 yars) was astonished to realise he had never head of it but, had been subjected to the scam many times!

It is simply that when ordering a LD, the girl will ask (under instructions from mangers) for a bottle of beer.
The thrad I read stated that this equates to double the normal price of a lady drink. Reccomendation was that if a bottle appears it should be sent back for a normal LD. The postings were from this week so current and the bar that was mentioned as the bhggest ripoff is he Dollshouse.

Never been to AC but, interesting read and as Ive seen the bar reccomeended here thought Id give the heads up.

Anybody else aware of this scam?? I know MrDK is very experienced in AC.

If this is happening in AC, then what does it have to do with LOS? And why should we care?

Think again JB. As nelsonone has stated, this is after all a section for Philippines info, so it has every right to be discussed here.
If you aren't interested, just move along.

Dennis, I don't think that K2 getting an erection would make my mouth water but to each his own.

Popped in (to Doll House) last night and the place was full of Japanese, Chinese, Korean --- no wonder they do the double lady drink trick. Bunch of Taiwanese guys on table next to me kept throwing buckets of 20P ping-pong balls at the girls ... just mad ... 2000 P just on load of 'balls' - still girls were happy and I decided to escape the place after 1 drink - needs further investigating.

More in a proper TR in due course but prices here going UP ... hotels up by 10% (arguably on weaker USD) - local drinks now 85P (beer & local spirits) - imported and LD's - 150P, cocktails 200P. BF in big bars/gogo's 1350 P - not been to smaller places yet.

2000p to empty the ball bucket does not sound toooo steep.

Monster typhoon due to hit AC tom evening - better stock up and batten down the hatches - I'm sure I'll stay (relatively) dry somehow.
