The beer market...

During my times while in Germany, which were by coincidence the starting point for this blog, I always looked at the fantastic price's difference between the supermarket's beer and those sole in bars and discos.

Roughly, a beer costs ~30/40 cents. at any supermarket and, the same beer, costs 3/4/or even 5 Euros depending on the bar. It never goes under 3 Eur independently on which place you go.

The reason is simple: the waiter that picks the orders, pours the beer, brings it to the table, thanks you, register the bill, brings it to you, receives the money, gives back to you the change, thanks you again and receives a tip needs to be payed.

The problem in Portugal is that a beer in the supermarket has the same price but you can get one in any bar or disco from less that one Euro to 2, at the most 3 Euros(even if I never payed such an amount).

The reason is simple: the waiter that also picks the orders, pours the beer, brings it to the table, thanks you, register the bill, brings it to you, receives the money, gives back to you the change, thanks you again demands a lower salary and is not even offended if not tipped.

Can you see the problem here?
