by the way, how do you handle clients who refuse to pay their bills at the restaurant...?
At some upper end restaurnts (tested only in kenya and uganda...) I have eaten a nice meal and told them at the end that I am sorry, I dont have money to pay the bill, i am willing to wash dishes etc... Every restaurant to date has asked me - how much can i pay? and it has been possible to get away with a trivial sum... It seems very strange to me that no restaurant has implied threats of calling the police, etc...maybe they are worried about image or causing a scene... I dont quite understand it....but the more expensive the restaurant the better it seems to work? On 5/18/07, Madhu Menon wrote:
As someone who is still owed money after being tasked with the unfortunate job of splitting bills for people at restaurants on more than once occasion, I know this situation all too well. :)
