So I went and got lunch at Stage Deli. Okay,
I'm calling them out. I'm calling them out for this.
So I go and get lunch from Stage Deli. I
ordered two quarts of chicken noodle soup with some fixings
on the side.

Speaker 2 (01:44):
Okay, fixin's. I ordered two.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
Club sandwiches and two orders of their unbelievable steak for
us amazing, paid for it at the at the counter,
gave them my money sixty two dollars. Yeah, went home,
ate it amazing. I'm on the phone with misfit Victor

(02:09):
phone rings. I see a Wes Baloomfield number. I'm like, oh,
this must be like a neighbor calling me. It says
Wes Bloomfield eight five to five something. So I said, Victor,
I got to pick this up. This could be a
neighbor or something like that. I was going to make
sure everything is okay. He goes okay, And I never
pick up phone numbers that are not identifiable. So I
pick up the phone and the guy's on the phone
going hello, is this Tom? And he says my last

(02:31):
name says yes, and he goes, Hi, I'm calling from
Stage Deli and I said hi. He goes, we made
a mistake today, And I said, oh, okay, what's your mistake?
He said, when you came to get your lunch, we
charged you sixty two dollars. We undercharged you, undercharged we
actually needed to charge you one hundred and sixty two dollars.

(02:53):
There is no sixty two dollars.

Speaker 2 (02:58):
No way, he got the wrong number.

Speaker 3 (03:01):
And I'm looking at the menu right now online.

Speaker 1 (03:12):
All right, you hold on a second. I'll give you
my exact order. All right, so let me let me
tell you. Let me tell you what he says to me. Okay,
let me finish my thoughts here, okay, and then you can.
We'll get the cas we'll get the cash register out,
he says to me. He goes, we need your permission
to charge you the additional money, or you can say no.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
Well, I have to be quite honest with you.

Speaker 1 (03:35):
I feel like the guy knew that I worked at
the radio station when he checked me out, and all
I kept thinking to myself was all I'm going to
do is not pay this extra money, and I'm going
to be known as the guy that ripped off stage DELI.
So I'm like, what do I do. I'm like, well, okay,
all right, And then I said to him, I go,
all right, you can charge me the extra money because

(03:58):
you're gonna charge my card. So he goes in and
I'm and honestly, I said it reluctantly because I did
not want to pay the extra money. And I and
I said, but I want to let you know something
right now. I will never step footing that restaurant ever
again if you charge me the extra money.

Speaker 2 (04:15):
And he goes, I'm so sorry about this. I understand.
I understand.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
You can tell me no, like you gave me another out.
You can tell me no. I think he was trying to,
you know, basically, say to me, you can tell me no.
And I'm like, well, I just want you to know this.
I'm not going to come back. I ain't coming back.

Speaker 5 (04:32):
There.

Speaker 2 (04:32):
You go there a lot here. It is right here
on my on my credit card.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
One hundred and sixty three dollars and thirty four cents.

Speaker 3 (04:40):
You promised me that was your order, because I just
added everything from.

Speaker 1 (04:44):
I'm going to tell you everything I had, because I
also had I had fixings with the soup. So I've
got I had two courts it, two courts of broth.
I ordered two sides of the christ the no two
sides of the chicken that come in the in the
that you put in the broth for the chicken noodle soup.
And I ordered rice, a small rice to put in

(05:06):
the soup because I'm gluten free and I can't put noodles,
and and and they told me they'd give me some vegetables. Okay,
that's what I had, two orders of steak fries, two
orders of Turkey Club sandwich with gluten free bread. They
probably charged eight hundred dollars for that, so like a lunch.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Specially, there's over sixty dollars that's still unaccounted for.

Speaker 2 (05:27):
All right, So I just added.

Speaker 1 (05:33):
So here's my here's my thing. I have now just
lost my my deli.

Speaker 6 (05:42):
It's the closest deli to uh any das.

Speaker 7 (05:46):
They shouldn't call you and asked you for it. They
should just eat the costs. When I leave out of there,
I'll pay what I pay. Don't call me and ask
me for more money.

Speaker 3 (05:53):
Up to them up unless you're charged, then I do
think that you should get credited.

Speaker 2 (05:59):
That of course.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
All right, so let me ask the listeners. I'm gonna
ask the listeners, what would you do?

Speaker 2 (06:03):
What would you do? Huh ha?

Speaker 7 (06:05):
The damn phone up? Sorry sir, right, sorry, I'm gone.
You would First off, I'm not how good is this
damn soup?

Speaker 2 (06:14):
It was? It's so good?

Speaker 1 (06:15):
First off, I love stage and I love and I
know what, and I love The sandwich was amazing. It's
the most unbelievable club sandwich ever.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Steve's Deli better. They just got a fan Steve's Deli
a fan for life, way better progresso.

Speaker 1 (06:29):
I love them. But here's the thing. Hold on, misfit, Victor.
You were on the phone with me when this happened.

Speaker 2 (06:34):
Victor, Hi, this is unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (06:38):
This is the just the craziest thing I've ever heard
in my whole entire life and career being in a
restaurant business. Did the soups come in like a reusable
crock pot or.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
They had gold around the edges?

Speaker 1 (06:51):
Like Victor, they got tariff that soup got The soup
got tariffed from Israel. That's that's where it came from.
It was expensive soup.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
Did you order because you know some people used to
when they'd order carry outs that say, can we get
four sets of silverware? I'd say no, I'll give you
plastic ware. Did they throw in silverware? Maybe like a
sterling silver Never?

Speaker 1 (07:13):
Victor question, if this happened at at your family's restaurant,
would you call them and ask them for the additional money?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Never?

Speaker 4 (07:22):
Never, And it happened before where we would get a
you know, we look over the ticket and we'd say, hey,
you forgot to charge for this or this and that.
We would never in a million years you'd eat it
back and say, hey.

Speaker 1 (07:34):
Yeah, you'd eat the costs, right, I mean I would.

Speaker 4 (07:36):
We would even have like sometimes people would leave money
on table and walk out and would you know, kind
of read the chicken scratch sometimes and be short like
twenty bucks. We would never call them up and say, hey,
the bill was forty two.

Speaker 2 (07:50):
You love thirty two? You know you Oh, it's this.

Speaker 4 (07:53):
It's just part of doing business, and especially a customer
like you, you don't want to lose that.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Well listen, and I don't. And I don't want it
to be that it's Mojo from Mojo in the morning.
I want it to be that we eat a lot.
You know what I mean like I wanted to be
one of those situations. Andrea, real quick, you're on with us?
What's going on? What would you have done? Andrea?

Speaker 8 (08:13):
Never? Never, in a million years. We have the greatest deli.
We will get you.

Speaker 2 (08:18):
This way bread.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
Who's this deli? What deli is yours?

Speaker 8 (08:23):
New York Deli? We have three locations, but we do
have one at fourteen Ward.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
Okay, I like it.

Speaker 1 (08:29):
Now I'm getting the deli's fighting for me.

Speaker 8 (08:32):
Oh heck yes, And we will get you the gluten
free bread and I can guarantee you it will be
the greatest club you ever had.

Speaker 1 (08:42):
Would you have Would you have called and said that
I needed to pay the extra money if you undercharge somebody?

Speaker 8 (08:48):
No, absolutely not. That's embarrassing and more.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
Yeah. Yes.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
What's funny is if you ordered food from a deli
in New York and took a spirit flight there.

Speaker 1 (09:03):
I could have gone to what's the legendary delian in
New York City? Cats, Yes, I could have gone, Daphne,
what's up? It's Mojo in the morning, Hi, what's up?

Speaker 5 (09:13):
You know?

Speaker 3 (09:13):
If they were me and the minute he tried to
overcharge me, I would have been like, oh, you said Tom,
I thought you said, John, and.

Speaker 2 (09:22):
I actually almost did.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
I can't hear you now. I couldn't do it because
can I tell you something? And I Victor. When I
came back to you on the phone, I said to you,
I go I couldn't do it because I think the
guy knows that I'm Mojo, and I didn't want it
to be a situation where Mojo's a cheap son of
a bitch.

Speaker 2 (09:40):
What's up, Marlene? Go ahead, I'm sorry. Bail is much better.

Speaker 1 (09:45):
Bail Valves is actually Goodals Valves is just down the street.

Speaker 2 (09:51):
I do like Vallas. Valves is great.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
The only problem was Chelsea loves Stages soup.

Speaker 2 (09:58):
She loves Stages soup, so oh.

Speaker 1 (10:00):
I wanted to get her that because she's under the
weather and I wanted to make sure that I took
care of her. But long story short, Next time, next
time it's Campbell's.

Speaker 6 (10:09):
Next time it's Campbell's. Chunky Donom McMahon, Mom, get his
mom on there. Hold on a second, what's going on?

Speaker 2 (10:18):
Jay? Hi?

Speaker 4 (10:22):

This Jay towers on the phone, Jay J I thought
it was Jay for a second. Victory, that's funny, Sean,
what's going on?

Speaker 2 (10:36):
John?

Speaker 6 (10:38):
Hey?

Speaker 5 (10:38):
How you doing, Mojoe, I'm okay.

Speaker 2 (10:40):
Everybody, Okay, what's happening?

Speaker 5 (10:44):
Yeah, I would to see it. No, they should have
just ate the calls. And you shouldn't have been scared
if they was going to put you on blast saying
that you wouldn't pay the extra money, because if they
put you on blast, they look stupid for telling people
that they even called you to tell you to pay.

Speaker 1 (11:01):
You know what, Sean, you are too smart. I wish
I had you as my confidant. I wish I was
on the phone with you instead of Victor at that time.

Speaker 5 (11:09):
Sean, Yes, you should have been on the phone with me.

Speaker 2 (11:12):
You know what.

Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah, go tell everybody I didn't pay the extra hundred dollars.
They won't believe you. Uh No, I don't know. Hold
on a second, Eric, what's up? Eric, it's Mojo in
the morning.

Speaker 2 (11:22):
How are you?

Speaker 8 (11:23):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (11:24):
I'm good.

Speaker 2 (11:24):
How are you?

Speaker 5 (11:25):
No?

Speaker 8 (11:26):
But I'm okay because like your story enrage me because
at every level from a customer service standpoint.

Speaker 6 (11:32):
Their actions were absolutely inexcusable and unacceptable.

Speaker 8 (11:36):
The person that rang you up for your food could
have been held responsible.

Speaker 2 (11:42):
See I don't want that though. It's charging you, But
I don't want.

Speaker 1 (11:45):
That because if they take money out of that guy's pocket.

Speaker 2 (11:48):
Or whoever.

Speaker 4 (11:50):
They don't take money out of, it's a it's a
it's a coachable moment for the cashier. It's not they
take money out of some people, just like people do
take the money.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
Yeah, some restaurants do, right, fa of crap.

Speaker 8 (12:04):
Terrible people.

Speaker 1 (12:05):
Well, now listen, I don't want to call them terrible people.
This is a this is to me a public relations
nightmare for them right now because guess what, Mojojo.

Speaker 4 (12:16):
Yes, we're talking about, Oh, they shouldn't have charged whether
they shouldn't have charged you or called you or anything
like that. We're glossing over the fact that two bowls
of soup, two quarts, one hundred and sixty two dollars. Now.
I haven't been in there in a long time, but
when you walk in, is there like a finance apartment

(12:41):
five years if you can afford your lunch now?

Speaker 6 (12:44):
But everything's expensive these days. I hate to say it.
Got Clarnet ready for Teresa?

Speaker 2 (12:49):
What's up? It's Mojo in the morning.

Speaker 4 (12:50):
Hi.

Speaker 2 (12:51):
This is like John k Junics is, what would you do?

Speaker 7 (12:55):
Why do they have a tip line on that receipt?

Speaker 8 (12:57):
Because they may have tipped themselves.

Speaker 4 (12:58):
One hundred dollars.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
No, can I tell you something.

Speaker 1 (13:01):
I did leave a twenty percent tip on the sixty
two dollars, and I said to him, could you please
do me a favor? Just charge me the extra hundred,
but please don't add another twenty percent.

Speaker 2 (13:13):
That was very generous of you.

Speaker 3 (13:13):
Ton't even tip that much on a carry out.

Speaker 6 (13:15):
Well, the lady was very nice behind the glass counter,
so they probably ran that twenty percent as two hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Victor, I wouldn't have had to go there if Victor
owned a deli by my house.

Speaker 2 (13:27):
Victor, why don't we open up a deli?

Speaker 4 (13:29):
One hundred and sixty two dollars? You should have got
