Bars and Dry Cleaners

Here's the question: what's the same about a bar and a dry cleaners?

Answer: Neither of them post their prices for you to see before you make a purchase!

Why is that? I just don't get it. Every other retail and service establishment you can think of lets you know their prices up front. Are you buying a shirt? The price tag is hanging on the sleeve. Are you buying a bag of chips? If there's no price sticker on the bag, at least there's a bin tag label telling you the price the register is going to ring up. How come bars and dry cleaners can get away without letting you know their prices before you order your drink or drop off your jacket to be cleaned? Why should we have to ask?

Sorry for the rant... it's just always been one of my pet peeves.
