Trys charging you, did you pay it?
I've seen it a few timeS from out of the bottle or can. They have to make money on it. They would get more profit from cola on tap.
I've been in a pub before when they sell cans of fosters for £3.

£1.80 for a lime and soda! No booze ....
I told him he was off his rocker....they guy says that is the price it says on the cash register.....
Called mgr over and he laughed and said wtf are you charging nearly two quid for the shot of cordial...suddenly the staff dude realises he must've 'accidently' tapped in for a shot of something...

Most big chains only have the "standard" glass, about 3/4 of a pint with half a bucket of ice added for £1.60!

Back in the days of yore when I first started I quickly found that I didn't want to get drunk all day (miss stuff, do silly things etc) - never really been a big drinker anyway....
So, as you do, I started travelling around, then thought I would go St Albans...walked in to this pub with a mate, seen beer guide. Mate goes to the bar and I to the unit, yes yes a bad thing to do with absolute zero pr.
Mate walks over to me, I just got the, memory fails a bit here, the red bar(?) for the jolt. No slip and slide stops clean, he tells me that they want ~£3 for two halfs of......Blackcurrant cordial....not even the soda water in there.
Offended with the price is why my mate came over to me as he won't pay such silliness for a cordial. Well jp in hand we walked out....

It's not as shocking when you consider said cat would not have had opposable thumbs thus giving it the means to handle a plug and switch the machine on, you were asking a bit much imo.
