Hire smoke show bartenders, book a washed DJ, and bring in TikTok influencers to call it a “hidden gem.”
$5 Costco tenders become a $100 Tender Tower.
Kirkland vodka? $25 a shot.
Reject 95% at the door to create fake exclusivity. No Resy. No signage.
Kids max out credit cards for clout.
Staff’s underpaid, tips are guilt-tripped.
Clear $2M by Labor Day. Same scam, new name next year.

Things drunk traders thing about:
1) If i rip 2 upper decky 3mg ZYNs does that equate to 1 6mg
2) What is my projected burn rate if i get a divorce in 3, 6, 9 years
3) Do you think [enter bar here] will let me in wearing a white button down?
