The Future Of America

A verbal exchange in a chain restaurant's bar between Jennifer, the bartender, and myself.

Jennifer: "Where's your drink menu?"

This restaurant is known for creative mixed drinks in funky glassware.

Bartender: "We don't have a drink menu anymore 'cause we went corporate. Sorry."

I can't figure out what one has to do with the other, so I ask, "What does going 'corporate' have to do with a drink menu?"

Bartender: "I have no idea. It's what they told us."
