It’s not exactly cheap vodka (although it’s not expensive, either), but you guys don’t get Stolichnaya (aka “Stoli”) out there in France? Stoli is pretty common here in the US, if not ubiquitous.
I’ll go with this. I just asked another employee, and he gave me a completely different answer. He said that drinks were more expensive because Coke raised their prices. The increase in everything else was because the owner did it on his own.
Concur.

The bottom of the barrel Russian vodka isn’t much different from rotgut moonshine. Forcing an increase in vodka prices was done in a half-hearted attempt to get consumers of that stuff to voluntarily switch to a now-just-as-expensive-but-slightly-less-blindy brand of vodka.
My girlfriend was in a sandwich shop where she saw a sign saying that if you’re paying with food stamps, you can’t get your sandwich toasted. I assume this is because if it’s untoasted it can be claimed to be groceries while if it’s toasted it’s prepared food.
Food stamps can’t be used for hot food.
It also can’t be used for food that will be eaten in the store, but there’s some ways around that like making sure people using food stamps don’t dine in etc. Also IIRC, restaurants can allow certain people to use them like regular customers under certain circumstances. But I’m not a restaurant so I never looked into that. Either way, under normal circumstances, no hot food with food stamps.
Interestingly enough, if the food was toasted earlier and put in a cooler to chill to, say, under 41 degrees, the customer could probably buy it with food stamps.
Missed the edit. At my store, we’ll accept food stamps for iced coffee but not hot coffee.
I was close, then. This was not an establishment with seats or tables, anyway.
Rerailing somewhat, I’ve noticed the state of New York charged me sales tax on corn syrup but not molasses. I’m not sure of the distinction, but if anything I’d do it the opposite.
