I've Been Slammed With Raspberry Nut Cake!!

The BBQ Pit

So I go out to dinner tonight with Mrs. Lucwarm – it was her birthday the other day. It didn’t occur to us that the restaurant would be crowded with mother’s day parties. Mrs. Lucwarm offhandedly comments on this to the waiter – “We were just going out for my birthday and forgot it was mother’s day.”

Well, later on the waitstaff comes out with cake and a candle and sings “happy birthday” to my wife and offers her a piece, which she accepts. Well, low and behold the check comes and they billed us $8 for the cake!!

What the )(&?

Well? Did you pay for it?

Don’t keep us in suspense. Like stypticus asked, did you pay for it?

I hope you explained to the management that you didn’t order that cake.

If they screwed you over and insisted you pay for it, could you let us know what restaurant that was, so we’ll know to stay away from it?

If you did pay for it, I hope you insisted on taking the rest of the cake with you.

Daughter of Arden, are you the daughter of Arden Ranger? Or a get of the Unicorn thy foremother? Or perhaps of Eve Arden? Elizabeth Arden?

She’s mine, Dr. Q. :slight_smile: Her first SN got eaten in the Winter of Our Missed Content and she just reregistered a few days ago.

lucwarm, what my kid said. I wouldn’t have paid for it unless I got the whole damn cake. I still would have bitched though.

Years ago, I took a date to a really nice French restaurant in Mountain View, California, for her birthday. The maitres-de (sp?) brought us some very good champaigne. When he finished serving it to us, he went to the piano and played “Memories.” My date was thrilled. How much did the champaigne and the live pianist cost? Nothing. It wasn’t even on the bill. When I called to make the reservation, of course, I said the event was my date’s birthday.

That’s a restaurant!

You should let her out of that box!
Or at least poke some holes in it.

I’m appalled! I’ve never worked anywhere where they gave you a birthday cake you didn’t order and then charged you for it. I’m with the others–I really, really hope you didn’t pay.

Now, I can see selling a “birthday package” or something, for when you take someone out for their birthday, but really, just hearing it was someone’s birthday and bringing them cake…and then charging them, that’s just not right.

Cool. Welcome to her. I’ve had to post more carefully since daughter elfbabe starting hanging out here.

This lucwarm has been slammed by Raspberry Nut Cake!

:smiley:

And ditto to the rest, I hope you didn’t pay. That’s fecking ridiculous.

I definitely hope you didn’t pay for that cake.

Now, there’s this custom at the Red Robin’s here… if you’re celebrating a birthday, they give you one slice of Mudd Pie free. Stick a candle in it, and sing you “Happy Birthday”… and everything else too.

However, you don’t want to know what my friends did to the Mudd Pie remains last year at my birthday party. (I have a photo, but no scanner… so can’t scan for ya)

Flammie, you’re such a tease…

Sorry to leave you all in suspense, but yeah I paid for it – Mrs. Lucwarm didn’t want to make a scene. However, I got some decent action from Mrs. Lucwarm that night . . . well worth the extra $10 or so . . . :smiley:
