Dollar Dog Night

• Dodgers: 3
  
• Phillies: 5
  
• Sold: 144 beer, 6 soda

Most Mondays in Philly is designated "Dollar Dog Night," when a hot dog that normally would set you back $4.50 is only a buck. There are a couple things this leads to:

1. Overconsumption. People who would be perfectly satisfied with a couple of dogs for them and the wife tote around trays with five and six dogs. There's not much savings, but they feel like they're getting a value because they're gorging on three times as many weiners for the same price.
2. A younger crowd shows up, drawn by the value. Dollar Dog Night essentially becomes a College Night like the one in Baltimore.
   
3. Because of the younger crowd, in-seat beer sales are disallowed, all the vendors assigned to work out of the upstairs commissaries are moved downstairs. Sales end up being down for each vendor because we're all packed into the lower bowl, and I end up selling aluminum bottles of Bud Light instead of Coors.

At the end of it, I managed six cases, and the usual weak collection of tips from a cheap Philly crowd. Back to Coors tonight.
