If your local restaurant starts charging you a fee to cut to the front the line during busy hours, you can blame the Boston Red Sox.
Former Red Sox player Jerry Remy is offering diners at his new sports bar a $500 “Season Pass” so they can be served before other patrons during the televised games. The Boston Globe dished the details of this greedy gambit: You forgo the wait and receive a guaranteed table with a free beer, plus $25 in food credits along with access to so-called exclusive events.
Nearly 200 already have signed up. Remy’s Sports Bar and Grill plans similar packages for the NBA’s Celtics and NFL’s Patriots.
