I disagree. Charging a single person for a dessert that they were served never amounts to "outright fraud" as you think it is.
It can be a simple mistake, a boneheaded mistake, a major mistake or a colossally stupid mistake. But unless free desserts are promised systematically to a percentage of customers which are then billed for it, it's not "outright fraud".
- btilly 13y agoIt moves from mistake to fraud after the bill is argued over.
- mikeash 13y agoFraud has nothing to do with volume. Charging a single person for a dessert that was promised to be free is sufficient. It doesn't need to be "systematically" done. One could argue that this wasn't deliberate and therefore should not count as fraud. That's what was done in the comment I was replying to. But one cannot argue that this wasn't done to enough people and therefore should not count as fraud, because they have nothing to do with each other.
