One of my photographs was blogged here, and in the accompanying post Shreyas Shah makes an excellent point about corkage fees:
Unlike restaurants that can serve alcohol, it doesn’t cost BYOB restaurants anything when patrons bring in their alcohol. They didn’t go through the trouble of getting a license, they don’t maintain a bar or cellar, and don’t incur any of the expenses associated with serving alcohol at a restaurant. Plenty of BYOB spots realize this and do not charge a corkage fee. The ones that do are simply trying to make extra money for doing nothing. Its greedy and stupid and the next time you get charged a corkage fee at a BYOB place, I encourage you to let the manager know it's bullshit and completely lacking in class.
