What Would YOU Do?
Recently 10 of us went out to an upscale restaurant to celebrate my birthday. One of my friends informed the manager that he would like to have a slice of cake with a candle on it presented to me for desert. You know, the whole embarassing "Happy Birthday" to do. When the slice of cake came (which was supposed to have been complimentary) it was inedible. I later found out that it was something the chef had "experimented with" which he had no intention of serving. (A horrible cinnamon & chocolate concoction). When the bill arrived we had been charged $9.00 for the slice of cake. I asked our server about it and he said it was their practice to charge for the dessert in situations like this. Fine. However I mentioned to the manager that if we were going to pay for the cake I should have had a choice of what I wanted. The manager looked straight at me and said, "You're just trying to get something for free!" I was so taken aback that I paid the check myself and swore never to return. I don't have any recourse....do I?
