      Really? another personal attack?

        OK - lighten up all of you Francis's

        Everyone is pretty right here.

        They should be able to require a deposit on an expensive item if they are concerned about theft.
        It should be posted and explained somewhere.
        It should be a classy enough joint that people don't steal a "$50" mug

        Mith/PapaDeuce - you did leave out that detail to make sure that you got what you were after. You were frustrated that they didn't warn anyone properly. Not that they charged $50

          thanks for the cheap shot. Uncalled for.

The restaurant puts a charge of $25 per mug on the bill and then takes the charge off when the party leaves. The restaurant clams the charge is to cover the cost of the mug should it be taken by the patron. Well the waiter added the charge and forgot to take it off so my sister in law had to go back over to the restaurant to explain what happened and get the bill adjusted.

              But nowhere on the menu does it state you will be charged for these mugs. It states about the automatic tips. If it is not stated in writing is it legal?


              I think the manager should have at least offered some type of compensation for having to go back to the restaurant and take care of the matter.

              Thoughts? Should the restaurant add this charge? Should compensation have be given? If I was the owner I would have offered some compensation.
              Sorry but the additional information up front changes the whole tone

                Sorry.

                  That's not entirely true though. Sometimes it appears as if you are fishing for something. I believe that a few times you have admitted purposefully needling some of the guys. Maybe change your posting style? But if you don't care that you get attacked, then you shouldn't really complain that you get attacked. Just trying to help.

                    Wasn't calling you a douchebag, Mith... I was implying that your sister hangs around in low class bars and drinks douchey cocktails Cheers!

                        As far as mith's sister ...

                        but a Moscow Mule is actually quite tasty - it doesn't need a silly glass though

                          Copper mugs are not silly. They keep the drinks really cold.
