Donate the purse to charity and take the write-off.
Even Bill Clinton had enough sense to donate his undies.
“The proper resolution should have been:
The club makes the customer’s property whole.
The waiter is discharged. “
ROTFLMAO!
How can you say that without knowing the facts!
I can tell you that the members of the fanciest yacht club in the country which shall remain nameless Est 1884 are the first to stiff people on work to their boats.
It is unbelievable how cheap and dishonest these people are.
I am proud to be associated with an older and much less snooty club. I have seen enough of these jerks who have no class.
Suing your club for a stained purse?
You can’t buy class.
Quite possible. Perhaps the husband is trapped in a lie and is too embarrassed to admit he passed a knockoff purse on his wife. So he's hoping that the restaurant just pays for it rather than having his wife send it to France for cleaning only to find out it is a fake.
The facts are that this is a country club that charges $84,000 for the first year.
What kind of clientele do they expect to attract?
What kind of relationship do they expect to foster with that clientele?
How is this going to entice future clientele to join?
This wasn't an ice tea spill at Golden Corral, where a coupon for a free dinner would suffice.
Good customer service, especially with the kinds of people who join these clubs, would suggest that taking care of the customer's damaged property is the path of least resistance for the club.

I still don’t think they can sue the waiter...unless there was deliberate negligence involved by the waiter...
“facts”
One irrelevant fact.
“I still don’t think they can sue the waiter...unless there was deliberate negligence involved by the waiter...”
They didn’t. She did.
For some reason, I am imagining the Three Stooges working at this place.
What's the burr under your saddle on this one, that the people who got spilled on are rich?

I’m with ya. Clean it, but anyone bringing a non-cleanable purse into a restaurant has the responsibility for any damage beyond a reasonable cleaning bill. She can’t being into an establishment anything that obligates the owner beyond reasonable obligations.
“What’s the burr under your saddle on this one, that the people who got spilled on are rich?”
No. People believe th8s lying woman.
Exactly. If you have $30k to spend on a purse, then $30k is pocket change to you.
It doesn't seem like the club doubts the woman, or they wouldn't have sued their own waiter, yes?
From the article: “If you bring your car to a country club and it gets scratched up, you expect the club to pay for it.”
Would the club sue the valet for scratching the car? Would you accuse the owner of bringing an already scratched car to the club?
Is that the behavior of a person who can afford $84,000 to join a club? That's the thinking of someone who would believe that President Trump is bribable.

Both the woman and the country club have zero class.
All the money in the world can’t fix that.
Is there a picture of this “ruined” purse?
‘Let’s file this one under “first world problems.”’
Nailed it in one. FIDO! (Forget it, Drive on!)
I should have such problems. OTH, I suspect that IF I got a purse like that for my wife, she’d kill me before asking what I was trying to apologize for.
Heck, a $400 purse would make her very suspicious! ;)
“It doesn’t seem like the club doubts the woman, or they wouldn’t have sued their own waiter, yes?”
THEY DIDN’T SUE THE WAITER!
