    Restaurant Rip-Off!

    Lady Tester and I were rather hungry yesterday evening, after a day of sporting activities. So off we went to our favourite local restaurant and had a 4 course meal, whereas we´d usually be satisfied with 3 courses. Lo and behold, the bill at the end was about 20 euros more than we usually pay. How can these restaurant owners exploit people with a large appetite in such a disgraceful manner?
    And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014

    Don't come to Zurich, it's cheaper to eat the money than go to a restaurant.
    Fiscal nomad it's legal.

      What would have been bad if you started choking on your veal and they stood there letting you choke until you added an 80 pound tip.

        Quite easily! Captive Audience.

        You could have questioned the bill?

          Presumably the 20 euros was to cover the extra course - you said you normally have 3 courses.

          Or is that too obvious?
