- btilly 13y agoThey got the bill, challenged it, and were informed that they had no choice.
- pc86 13y agoThey were informed they had no choice with regard to the service charge. Which, if California's laws in this respect are as odd as they sound, may be a legal barrier and not one at the restaurant. There is no indication in the article about them challenging the dessert.
- dragonwriter 13y ago> They got the bill, challenged it, and were informed that they had no choice. The manager asserting that they had no choice doesn't mean they did; if they disagree, they could have refused to pay unless the offending items are removed from the bill. Obviously, that would have been an escalation, and they chose to acquiesce instead, but that was a choice.
- gohrt 13y agoconsent under duress is not legally recognized consent.
- dragonwriter 13y agoSure, but there is no duress in the story. Someone who has the title "manager" stating the restaurant's view of what is required isn't "duress".
