the ¥8,000 cover charge lesson i learned too late

didn't ask about the cover before going in. why would i, cover charges are usually like ¥2,000 right?? ¥8,000 per person at the door, non-negotiable, cash only 💀 that's before a single drink. my friend and i just looked at each other and paid because we were already in. what's the most you've been hit with at the door before you even sat down
