Now let’s do the math.

Had I bought six premium beers on the train and tipped accordingly, I would have paid about $25.00.

Instead, in an effort to save money, I paid the following amounts for my six pack:

 Six Pack of Sam Adams: $8.00
 Shuttle to the Airport: $5.00
 Flight from LAS to SLC: $49.00
 Taxi to downtown SLC: $20.00
 Hanging out in Denny’s: $7.00
 The Overall Experience: Priceless

At $89.00, that six-pack of Sam Adams remains by far the most expensive beer purchase I have ever made.
