god, we already know enough about hipsters living in Richmond.

in all seriousness, thanks for the input! we will be the first to admit that what you see now is not what we want the final product to be.

alcohol/$ is generally what we sort by. not sure how you are seeing the 50 mL airplane bottles, I'm not getting any when I play with the sort options. what were you looking at specifically?

I see now. Sorting by "Cheap" gives me airplane bottles.

Additionally, the subtle difference between "Cheap" and "Best Value" doesn't quite justify making a new sort option -- to me, they're essentially the same, since whoever can afford a $1 shot can also probably afford a $2 fatty mug.

"Cheap" and "best value" is a subtle difference right now. But we're moving toward keeping track of the average market prices of items... and then "best value" becomes those offerings that are most reduced from the average.

Maybe call it "best discount" ?

Good suggestion - we'll A/B test that shit. Thanks!
