Speaker 2 (00:17):
Before I ask you this question, can you just put
this to bed for me? Is it pronounced a beetha
or a beza?
Speaker 3 (00:23):
Isn't it a befa?
Speaker 1 (00:24):
I don't know, Okay, Giza whatever, they're two different things.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I don't know. I don't think that's what we're going
to talk about though, No we're not.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
But I wanted to get it right before I told
you the story.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
But we don't know. Thanks for making me look stupid
on the ready. Okay, well, this is a story set
in Obitha.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Now there's a restaurant over there coming under fire for
something that they put onto a.
Speaker 3 (00:44):
Bill they charged some tourists. These this couple went to
this nice restaurant.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
They sat down, The waitress came over, was very lovely,
put the napkin on them, and then said, can I
take your bag and hang it up for you?
Speaker 3 (00:56):
She says no, do you know what, I'm okay?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Like it can stay here, And the waitress was apparently
like quite pushy.
Speaker 3 (01:03):
For it, like no, it's okay, like it's just just
like whatever.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
So after had a couple pushing, they agreed and said, okay,
it's okay, like hang it up anyway. The bill comes
out and on the bill is a charge which says
gant show boyser, which is eighteen dollars. Now gan show
boyser means bag hook. So they got charged eighteen dollars
to hang the bag up?
Speaker 3 (01:29):
Did they want to hang up?
Speaker 1 (01:31):
Did they get to take the bag hook home? Did
they purchase it? They take the whole bag hook?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Yeah, well it's not included normally. But they complained and
they're like, sorry, what we didn't A. You never said
that there was a charge. B. We didn't want to
do it, like you pushed us into it, and it became.
Speaker 3 (01:46):
This big thing, so much so.
Speaker 2 (01:48):
That like the boss of the restaurant and the manager
came out and said that if it makes you feel better,
you can keep the hook the back cook.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Why wouldn't they just refund the bag charge? Do you
know what they did that too? I went to a
Betha when I was in my twenties, and one thing
though I did find super surprising is that you know,
when you go to the nightclubs, the bottles of water
are so expensive. This is going back years and years
ago and at costlate twelve euro for a bottle of water.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
That was it.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
And they put salt water in all of the tap
so that when you wash your hands, you can't just
refill your bottle of water. You've got to go and
buy another bottle of water. Because yeah, I mean we
can all probably read between the lines as to why
water sells really well.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
And I be okay, yeah, well I do want to
say because I don't want to get in trouble.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
So I don't want to get this restaurant in trouble.
The manager did say, look, it was a mistake.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
We enter that inn as a reminder to give you
back your bag, and we don't know how there.
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Was amount of money.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, but whatever I'm pulling. Yeah, you can't slam them,
but I mean I can.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I think everyone's had like those little daylight robbery moments
where you go to pay the bill and you're like,
I'm sorry, what is that.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
I got charged? The other day?
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Speaking of I get a coffee. My coffee order is
a soy cappuccino with a little squidge of honey dash
Like instead of a sugar, I just put a little
of honey in.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
A dollar fifty for a squeeze of honey, You squeeze
of honey.
Speaker 2 (03:08):
I'm like, God, daylight robbery, daylight robbery, daylight robbery.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
And you know what I think I'm going to start doing.
I don't know if this is classified as theft.
Speaker 2 (03:16):
I might put the order in and pay and then say,
oh sorry, I forgot to add the honey.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
And then they just couldn't be bothered to charge yourself squad.
Speaker 1 (03:22):
But I imagine if they were like, sorry, you as
one dollar fifty, could you please tap.
Speaker 3 (03:25):
Your card again?
Speaker 1 (03:26):
I mean, look, I get it usually, and also I
don't want to come from cafes and whatnot, like they're
out there trying to run an honest business and make.
Speaker 3 (03:33):
A dollar ondred percent.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
The one time that it did spring me is a
bit of a surprise. I was at a cafe with
a group of girlfriends, and this was when I just
had my daughter, Marley made. She was a tiny baby
and i'd transferred her from breastfeeding onto formula. So we
were all there having lunch and I'd asked if I
could get a tiny bit of hot water that I
could put into her bottle to warm her bottle up,
and then the Bill came and on there was a
(03:56):
charge for the hot water.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
I was like, I can't remember. It was like a
three dollar.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Charge for hot water. And I was like, surely not,
surely it's just no, of course not. I just paid
it now. I complained about it on radio. Hey, we
have Jordan on the line. Jordan, what did you get
stung for?
Speaker 4 (04:13):
Hello? I took my three kids to go see a
live show and they, of course wanted a snow cone.
That alone was twenty six dollars for a snow cone.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
And the ice, yeah, it is a bit of cord on.
Speaker 4 (04:25):
The top in a fancy cup at least. And then
the lady said to me, would you like a spoon
with that? And I said yes, and she charged me
six dollars to buy the spoon.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Oh my god, the twenty six dollars of ice didn't
even come.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
With a way to eat it?
Speaker 2 (04:39):
No where where were you?
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Like, don't don't even shame but like, no, dude, like
is this it? Are you like a fair?
Speaker 2 (04:48):
No?
Speaker 4 (04:48):
Like like a live show, like at like an entertainment center.
Speaker 1 (04:52):
But that doesn't surprise me because anytime I'm takeing the
kids to a concert or something, you know, you go
I think might have been No.
Speaker 2 (04:59):
I don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
It was a Wiggles.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
It was some sort of kid's concert and they have
those like light up lighty toys, so you wait in
line forever and then you buy. It's like a piece
of junk that they can like spin around in the concert.
And we got to the front of the line and
I bought it, and I thought the number that was
next to the light up toy was the number saying
like what number item it was? Because I didn't have
didn't have a dollar sign. It just said two numbers
(05:20):
and it was fifty dollars.
Speaker 3 (05:22):
Each for this little stupid.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Wizzy anyway, whatever do you know, robbery gun?
Speaker 3 (05:26):
Do you just reminded me of something I haven't thought
about until now.
Speaker 2 (05:29):
I remember being at this fancy restaurant and the waiter
came over.
Speaker 3 (05:32):
And I remember saying, like, what do you recommend? That's
like not too heavy. I just want that something like
a little bit extra. And I think you were there, Laura,
and he came over and he said, do you know
what I recommend? He's like, it's very light, it's fresh.
He's like, we have a beautiful shaved ice.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
Do you remember? And then I tried to keep it
in in my head. I was like, of course it's light,
it's water. And I was like, oh, the shaved ice.
Speaker 3 (05:55):
So I was like, how much is that? He was
like twenty seven dollars. I was like, interesting, I think
I'll go for the salad.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I could not believe it anyway, absolutely wild and in
the words of Laura Burn's grammar, daylight robbery
