I once ordered Fish and Chips at a decent enough restaurant. It came with two sides and so I ordered two sides.
When my meal came with the fish and the two sides BUT NO CHIPS - I questioned why? Where are my chips (fries)?
The waitress said I didn’t order fries. I couldn’t believe I had to explain to her what Fish and Chips are.
They ended up bringing me my chips.
So many thoughts...
• What a cheesy date
• For $3 I would have expdcted a good amount of extra mature Cheddar or at least Double Gloucester
• American woman stay away from me... Guess Who
• She came undone... also the Guess Who
• At least she had ghe character to pick up the check
I Googled it (You can Google anything these days.)
The average cost of a date in New York City is $142.00
If anyone freaks out over a 2 percent add on for a lousy piece of cheese, then yeah.
Avoid such a measly tightwad.
Thanks !
I would question any adult who didn't expect to pay more for an add-on item at a sit-down restaurant, especially in an expensive city. From McDonald's all the way up, cheeseburgers cost more than hamburgers. Three dollars may sound high but that's city prices.
In addition, restaurant prices are not just for the quality of the food; they're also to discourage the "wrong" customers. I've seen many a restaurant have to raise their prices just to keep the riff-raff out. Watch any episode of 'Bar Rescue' and see Jon Taffer explain it to clueless owners and managers.
As for the cost of some add-on items, a lot of such prices are to discourage customers from ordering certain things, and are not designed to rip them off. It's the game; they have to offer it but they hope customers don't order it.
As for her, she's an ass for shaming her date online.
NYC women are only good for hump and dump.
An engineer friend of mine ordered a hamburger. Waitress asked if he wanted cheese on that. He literally said, “no, that would be a cheeseburger”.
I couldn’t stop laughing. Precision... it’s a thing.
personally, i would have definitely turned down an optional $3.00 slice of cheese ... not because i’m cheap (I’m not), but because such a ridiculous price is a complete ripoff, and i HATE to be ripped off! ... also, would never go back to a place trying to nickle and dime their customers to death like that ...
I wouldn’t pay three dollars for a slice of cheese either.
But being a consummate gentleman, I’d offer to run over to the nearest store, buy a package of cheese, and allow her even two slices of it on her burger.
She’s insane liberal I can tell by the dead crazy look in her eyes.
Trust me people I’m a subject matter expert at this time about dating craze liberal women. They’re all worthless in the long run.
Fun for a couple months or a year but that’s it!!!!
3 bucks. I wish more of my life’s lessons could have cost 3 bucks! Consider it a bargain dude.
You. I. Like.
I would have walked out if he HAD paid three bucks for a slice of cheese, that was prove he was too stupid to date.
She probably already made up her mind regarding the guy and just used that as a reason to end the date. That said, $3 for one slice of cheese is ridiculous. I would not have paid it either.
$3 for a slice of cheese? Lucky guy—she “outed” herself as a spendthrift.
I guess I would have ordered something else. I don’t like a burger without cheese, unless maybe it has avocado, or something.
Yeah, I can understand that!
I was once on a (fourth) date with a really beautiful girl. A 19-year-old college student, talented musician (piano, guitar, singing). To be honest, we had known each other for a whole semester and, by this date, had already progressed beyond the "hand-holding" stage, and there was a realistic possibility that we would be "sealing the deal" that evening.
Anyway: When the time came for her to the pay bill for our restaurant meal (I was earning only $4/hr correcting Physics homework for a few hours per week, while she had a steady part-time job at the campus bookstore, so it was fair for her to pay for everything), she tipped the wait-staff only 10%.
Such a cheapskate! So I dumped her!
Was I being any less petty than this woman?

Such a cheapskate! So I dumped her!
You made a woman pay for your food and you’re calling her a cheapskate? I’ve never in my life asked a date to pay for anything and I’d throw myself off of a bridge before I’d ask one to.
You didn't notice how utterly implausible my story was?!
I essentially did nothing more than take the original story of this article and reverse the sexes of the parties involved.
Any person of normal intelligence would have read my story and understood that it was pure sarcasm.
And any normal man would have asked only, "What?! She was nice and attractive looking and apparently willing - and you dumped her because of that?!"
No normal, red-blooded man dumps a woman under those circumstances because she is a cheapskate. Only women do that.
