Big bills for restaurants are a fascinating topic on Twitter. On this occasion, the venue in question is The connecting rod and the food of strife, a ham and cheese “sandwich” made with a couple of crackers.
The Twitter debate was armed because the historic bar in Recoleta, Buenos Aires, uploaded German stopthe man who uploaded the photo, 1100 pesos for the Traviata sandwich.
“I’m in La Biela de Recoleta. I ordered a traviata di shit, which is a creole with a piece of ham and shit cheese, and they charged me 1,100 pesos. I am fucking with the waiter who does not bring me the bill, “wrote the Doctor of Economics at the University of California at Los Angeles (USA).
To the couple of mixed and cooked sandwiches (this is how the dish is described on the menu), Fermo and his partner added two coffees in a jar and a still water.
The virtual contest saw on the one hand those who criticized La Biela for the value of the dish and on the other hand those who questioned the customer for not having seen the price of the menu first.
What does Twitter say?
The interminable discussion offered sour and witty comments. The detractors of the water biscuit on the menu wrote, for example: “With that money I buy a lot of ham, cheese and several packages of criollitas”.
Another added: “It’s good you didn’t order tea, let’s see if they charge you more than $ 200 for a bag and some water… Amazing they’ve been since 1850, right? Things to read… “And a third added:” What kind of restaurant has a Creole on the menu? “
One who was nowhere to be found told an experience that happened to a friend: “A friend got cool in a restaurant in the city without looking at the menu, he said to the waiter: ‘Bring me the most expensive wine you have’ $ 165,000 Luca is released “.
Among those who have indicated the customer for having bought what he bought is the economist Nicholas Dvoskin. “Supply and demand. Price was on the menu, so the transaction was voluntary. If you forgot to read it before ordering, it’s not the server’s fault,” tweeted Dvoskin.
“I can never understand these complaints. They give you the letter and you choose the product and the price. Do you ask me to tweet? Go to an expensive place, who forced you? ” commented another person.
