A Spending Chart

I've created this chart because:

1. We were told to make a chart and put it on our blog in class
2. I want to show the difference in spending habits between different ages/sexes

Please click on the chart to view it in a larger format


The totals are roughly the prices of individual drinks. For instance, $2.95 is the price of our Coors Lite draft special, which most younger men order.

$5.50 = a well liquor with cran/diet/coke/soda/etc,
$4.75 = the average price of our other non-special draft beers
$6.95 = a specific liquor (ex: absolut) with cran/diet/coke/soda/etc.
$9.50 = the price of our core cocktails
$10.00 = roughly the price of an expensive modified cocktail
$12.50 = is the starting price of the "good" scotch
$13.00 = is the starting price of an 8 oz. glass of wine from our wine list

All of the numbers are informally what I came up with after 6+ months of serving at my current establishment and do not include tax.

Q: What is the lesson learned from this chart?

A: Women order more expensive drinks because men usually buy them.
