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?

You could have questioned the bill?
If you are regulars then they really shouldn't take the p!ss.Comment

Presumably the 20 euros was to cover the extra course - you said you normally have 3 courses.
Or is that too obvious?Comment
