the parking garage, gas on the way to the mall, your purchase of outerwear for your next cruise,
This is such an example of "apples to oranges" that I'm amazed. How does outerwear come in to play, in a thread about food and drink? Oh well, on to the signing of chits. In your "typical day", I wouldn't have already laid out a few thou for the privilege of being there. And several of us were more concerned with availability of water, etc., than signing chits for drinks and wine. Drinks and wine are on one end of the necessity spectrum, water on the other.
