Doesn't matter what prices MH is charging for the seats, as we are talking about the cost savings from the booze. I have seen people filling up glasses to the brim and, once, emptying a bottle of Johnnie Black into a plastic mineral water bottle. That's buffet psychology for you. I'd say even if the bartender is paid RM3000 or RM4000 a month, the money saved from wastage and pilferage of booze is worth the labour cost. Now, if those numbers are denominated in USD or EUR or even SGD, then the economics will obviously be different...
