have been in some resturants that charge $5. for plate splints....
|
I am in total agreement with the person who posted this. I am really surprised and the negative and mud slinging that is aimed directly at the person.
When all the person did was ask a simple question and really expected civil,intelligent responses..for the most part this did not happen. The best response came from " Trish Crocker " who responded very intelligently, and certainly gave her response a lot of thought. The moderator did the right thing stepping in to remind some individuals to keep their opinions civil. Just as a reminder: This is the first time " pandg " experienced this split charge and asked a simple question, nothing more. By the way food for thought... 1) The customer is always right.. 2) Customer Service 3) The split charge IMO....cheapens the establishment. 4) The food that you ordered ..." The " owners expected you to finish it all, therefore we are going to charge you for the container(s) if you so choose to take the left-overs with you. That is the next step. 5) Carabbas,Olive Garden,Red Sauce,Nancy Lopez,Thai Ruby,Too Jays, all and more are very happy to NOT Charge a split fee. |
Good evening everyone
As most of you know I never respond to open criticism on an open forum like talk of the villages for many reasons as I would never want anyone to misunderstand me or for anyone to think that their opinion is not taken seriously. I have always no matter good or bad sent a private email and have tried in my best effort to always make my guest happy and even at times to explain why we do certain things This one time I feel I need to explain why we charge a dollar fee so that instead of people wondering why and making comments that my family do not care about the customers they can hear it straight from my family. The dollar charge is for when two customers order one meal and split it and purchase nothing else. This fee covers the napkin,the silverware, the plate and the cost to clean those items. If for example you purchase a soup , appetizer, side salad, appetizer, dessert for example we do not charge the split fee to our guest. After myself working my whole life in the restaurants and my father over 55 years in this business we have never and will never nickel and dime anyone or take advantage of any single customer. Anyone who has met my family knows that we are very giving people who do anything we can to make sure our guest know how much we appreciate them each and everyday of our lives Even as cost of goods have risen at unbelievable numbers we fight everday to keep our prices as low as we can and give the best quality possible so that our guest can make our restaurant a place they enjoy. Almost every week over 12000 of our athens club members receive coupons giving them anywhere from discounts to $2.50 dessert to bottles of beer for 1.50. This year alone we have given out over $15,000 in gift cards to several clubs churches and organizations who have requested our help for fundraiser and for just give away at thir functions I hope this in no way offends anyone I just felt that I needed to atleast explain that when someone says my family does not appreciate our guest it could not be the furthest from the truth. I appreciate an always have every single person who has ever come into our restaurant and from a young child I was taught people have choices where to go and when they chose our restaurant it should never be something taken for granted I hope this clears this up Christopher Kitrinos and my entire family Athens NY restaurant |
Well said...you should charge $3 for split meals.

We tried to share a meal at Golden Corral. They said we would have to pay full price each. Last time I go there.

We own our own business as well and totally understand what you are saying. Was there on Sat morning and was very pleased with the meal. Thank you for explaining how costs work.

If a person cannot afford a meal at Athens' prices, or they feel those prices are too high, then they should just eat at home. |

I don't mind when a restaurant charges for sharing. In some ways, I almost prefer it. It takes the guilt out of sharing.
