Walk away, fed up.

Now I am in another restaurant, ordered the same amount-ish and got cheaper off and got even a small beverage for free while waiting!

    I son't get why so many businesses just outright refuse to actually do business. It seriously is as if they are actively trying to not have any customers.

    @asgs she actually is on the road to recovery, we had to go yesterday to scan and align/calibrate her up to the devices that will radiate her with those cancer killing radioactive rays.

    Thank you for your thoughts and to all other fellow devranters in general. She is pleasantly surprised to see more heartwarming responses here then elsewhere.

    @myss well, ordering Chinese food is not just for one meal but for several. Also they have usually lots of delicious things I want to eat. Also I have a family to feed and I also felt very gluttonous. That being said, the second restaurant I went the bill was , for an equivalent amount of food ordered, a stunning €68 instead of -98-/121!
    And it tastes good!

    @Oktokolo I know right!? It was just 4,95% of a difference. If that is your profit margin I think you should reconsider your business.
    Anyways, other and better. And we still got well fed in the end.

    @NeatNerdPrime there is a real chance they ended up tossing some of that food they refused to sell. So it may have been 100% loss on that sale.
