Yeah it's crazy expensive there, each beer 170 or so. And they assign your table hostesses and multiple waiters, all expecting generous tips. What blew me away there was how they had turned squeezing customers into an assembly line operation with high tech communications right on the floor. My girl (who I knew already from another bar she worked at before) was receiving live instructions from "Public Relations" via Zalo (pretty sure it was Zalo) using a Galaxy tab that was on our table. That combined with waiters constantly whispering instructions into her ear of what to say to me, it was so intrusive it was ridiculous. I was there to talk to someone I already know, but couldn't cuz they put their business first, wouldn't let that happen. She was in her training period, by the way, so that was one factor. She just got the job a few days earlier.
