Man sues over TGI Fridays menu that didn't list drink prices.
Wow!!! That's amazing!!! An American doing something stupid?!? Who'd have thunk it?!?
FYI ... I'm being sarcastic.
America thrives on stupidity.
You can always ask. I'm not shy. Alcohol prices can fluctuate more wildly than menu items. Maybe?
I am not a fan of those overly dessert like drinks at places like that anyway.
Yep, about 40% of this Country are completely stupid!!!
Only America??? I think the whole world as well...
I feel the same way about hospital charges . Some time back , my cardiologist told me he wanted to check my heart . He set up a plan for me . at a not as local as I'd like hospital , as an out patient . I arrived around 10:00 in the morning , and began check-in. By about 12:00 , they put me on a surgical bed , and put me to sleep . Eventually , they made a small incision and ran a camera through my heart . I left that evening around 5:00 . I received a bill from the hospital , not including the doctor , nurses , or any of the lab work , due upon receipt , for $120,000 .
A while back I did a job for a cab driver and he told me how he got sunstroke in Cuba. They were holidaying there and he fell asleep on a boat trip. It was serious enough for him to spend 4 days in the hospital. As he lay there missing his vacation thoughts of "The bastards are just bumping up the bill" ran through his mind. When they gave him the bill he was shocked to see that it only came to $20. He did not even bother to claim on his insurance.
Actually, I think all restaurants should list their
drink prices.
It's not stupid to want to know how much one can expect to pay for any menu item, whether it be food or drink.
If restaurants are required to reveal the ridiculous prices they intend to charge for alcoholic beverages, they might be forced to lower them when people stop ordering them.
It's not fun getting surprised when the check comes and you find out you've been paying $10 for a drink that should realistically only cost $4.
If reprinting menus is an excuse, go with paper inserts that can be changed more easily.
I've done my time working in restaurants.
This would be a better plan than "surprise" pricing.
