Appears he had the audacity to ask for onions on his Hot Dog, a request that all of us might have made at one time or another at virtually every Restaurant on earth.
What's next Cane Garden? Will you charge us for Lettuce and Tomato on our next Hamburger? Will Catsup and Mustard qualify as upcharge items? Will there be an additional charge for a toasted bun? Will our Iced Tea refills still be on the house?
How about if you charge an extra two bits for the Hot Dog as an alternative to this obvious display of your lack of class and blatant stupidity!

Gotta agree w/Gil and Fumar here. Cane Gardens has always been and remains exceptional. Solid food, decent prices, quality service. In 4 years of going there, I've had one less than very good meal. Everyone lauds the meatloaf (justifiably) but the onion rings are just too, too retro that I want to hang them on a metal tray, out the window of my '57 Ford, with a Winsteads double cheese and a chocolate shake. Ooooh, deja vu all over again.
But I digress. When y'all asked the waitress about the charge, what was her response? Obviously it was not satisfactory, so what was the manager's reply? Don't tell us that $0.25 was too small an amount to ask about, since it is obviously enough to mention on TOTV.
A boring story to show my point: Sunday evening, my sister took a visiting nephew and niece to Cane. Firstly, the visitors loved the meatloaf so much, my nephew commented that he used extra bread to soak up every bit of gravy. When the waitress asked my niece about dessert, she ordered the cheesecake w/caramel sauce. Erica told me that she just commented, aside like, to the waitress that since she had eaten up all her dinner, maybe she could get extra caramel. She told me the cheesecake was floating in that great tasting sauce. Meanwhile, my sister was packing up the 1/2 of her dinner remaining to bring home to me. She commented to the waitress that a little more gravy for the meatloaf and potatoes would be nice. The waitress brought her the gravy boat. Oh, no extra charge for any of these.
CG, like so many places around here, is pretty decent. Unfortunately, we begin to assume that we deserve everything however we want it. If the bar puts out snacks for a certain period of time, why the hell can't
I have them when I desire, especially if I can spot them behind the bar? Free refills -- hey, that's a right.
