Bars serve drinks which get people drunk and more apt to socialize. Are you this blind to why common conventions exist? They also have tenders mixing drinks with alcohols you may not have at home and they are doing work for you. You'd have been better served by using a coffee house as your example, but most people lounging around a Starbucks are not ordering a drink they make in their drip machine at home.

I made fun of cereal bars on mumble last night but then followed right up with: they ought to go pay 400% markup for poison at a bar like a normal adult. I enjoy bars and talking to people over a shared hobby: getting drunk. I can empathize with people who want a social environment but don't necessarily want to poison themselves.
The cereal place operates on pure nostalgia factor. Which isn't uncommon. Look at all these arcade bars popping up which areeven more expensiveper-drink than a normal bar but the big hook is to try and lure you in with arcade machines you played as a kid.

The real nice thing about a cereal bar is you immediately know which people around you are wastes of skin

Chances are if they are selling beef then what they are selling is appropriate age/breed/level of finishing to be butchered for beef and if that is the case then a cow is kind of a cow. If you wind up buying an 11 year old milk cow then it's going to be pretty shitty but they're probably not going to do that to you if they want a repeat customer.

Playing devil's advocate on the pricing. Keep in mind, this is in London. All of those American cereals are imported and not widely available. You can't just pop into your local grocery store and pick that stuff up. They have local UK versions of some of them, but they are the equivalent of store brand generics here in the US. Can't replicate the originals! It is offering something unique. Fuck it, let them enjoy their sugary goodness.

Dafuq?, $2/topping, I'd be mad too. The yogurt place here just charges by weight, that isn't how its done everywhere? I get what I guess you could consider a "large" for about 8 bucks and get two servings out of it.

You could go to Yogurt Lab here and pay $7.50 for a 12oz (they offer a 12oz and 16oz) cup with some toppings. ( I just got a vanilla with some Oreo) Went there last night with friend when her and I were out for a walk. I've only been there a few times and didn't care for the constancy of their product, but it could have just been a location thing like we see with a lot of franchise places, my previous times at other locations weren't so bad.
So anyway, if I wanted to get fancier with their smallest size, it would have been north of $8 as well. -shrug-

Reminds me of an argument I got into with a Baskin Robins employee once. I purchased a "Hand Packed Pint" of ice cream. There were gaping air holes in the thing and the guy was putting it on a scale. I argued a pint is liquid measurement, what the fuck does a scale have to do with anything? In theory, different ice creams would have different weights by density. Pack the fucking pint container to the brim with no big air spaces left inside. What is so difficult about that? Otherwise, don't call it a "pint" of ice cream.

Stuff like this is going to become more popular. Robots will take over so many jobs that you'll be lucky to run a cereal bar. I bet they do the same thing in Tokyo but staff gets dressed up as anime instead of hipster.

It's the only movie theatre I will go to anymore, they play tons of old movies like all the Bond movies and such. Also, a few years back after they did at Back to the Future marathon they had Doc Brown (Yes, Christopher Lloyd) roll up in a Delorean afterwards and bullshit with the attendants. That doesn't sound douchey to me, but fucking awesome.
They also have a pub built in so you can get hammered before going in.

I go to bars with one dollar pints so it's close to the same pricing of a store or if I'm fancy I'll do beer mongers which sells bottles at retail prices.
