"$19.95", I was told. We arrived three hours later, had tea, and were charged 24.95. I said, "But...I called this morning and it was 19.95." The server whisked the bill away and said "Oh, okay, I'll issue another bill."<br /><br />Turns out the price changes throughout the day depending on how many people they reckon are coming.<br /><br />That was ten years ago, but ten years isn't that long - and I've just checked online and guess how much afternoon tea (in the summer) is now?<br /><br />FIFTY EIGHT DOLLARS.Shanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10704810407872873565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35743239.post-25150744599265834542011-09-19T10:19:30.790-04:002011-09-19T10:19:30.790-04:00Wonderful!

It is amazing how different one experience can be from another - just because someone has good listening skills.
