But regardless, what's even more shady is the bartender tried charging me DOUBLE the price. She claimed the menu was a misprint and the real price was $30 or 1,750 miles. I had to get a manager.

Makes you wonder how many people the bartender has ripped off, as presumably most people don't pay that much attention to the prices.
If it's business travel, why should you care? <joke>

To me, it would be unreasonable to expect a full or even half bottle of Moët in a restaurant or bar for $14, so it would necessarily be just a split (or a glass if the word bottle didn't appear). DL doesn't subsidize the luxury bar alcohol served in SCs, but the prices generally seem fair compared to a city hotel bar, for example.
