Well, it's not just strip clubs. Restaurant owners suffer from the same short-sightedness. There is a great Chinese restaurant in my neighborhood and I've been a loyal customer since they opened two years ago. The manager/owner is a total dickhead but the food is good so I put up with it. Lately all these little things have been annoying me... like they started putting bell peppers in the kung pao (WTF?) but ONLY during lunch (HUH?), and other silly nonsense.
So I just called to place my usual delivery order and they told me I had to order more. I thought the minimum for delivery was $10. They said no, they raised it to $15 and they no longer include tax in that. So I got some spring rolls, and she said I'd have to get a beverage or something to get it over the $15 minimum. Whatever, okay. Then she says my total is over $19! WTF? A Diet Coke costs $4? Is this a strip club? She explains that now your order has to be a minimum $15 BEFORE tax, and then they add on a delivery charge.
I'm dying for some tofu, and I can stretch this out to two meals, so I reluctantly agreed. I said, "Well, okay, but this is probably the last time I'm going to order delivery." She got all defensive and snapped, "We're doing BUSINESS now. We had to HIRE PEOPLE." Translation: We got more customers, so we don't need our old customers anymore and fuck you.
I'm tempted to say I'll never go back, but I've said that before over this restaurant's shitty customer service so I might walk down there and get takeout sometime. Or not. There is a closer Chinese place that isn't *as* good but it's still good, and they treat their customers better... I guess I'll start ordering from there instead.
Stupid ass fees. I wonder if the owners of this restaurant also own any strip clubs.
