A pleasant experience

Last night we went to a fish restaurant run by a very nice ethnic gentleman (Muslim we assume from the attire of a lady who was filming a “marketing” video while we were there).

Having enjoyed a very nice meal of Dorade and also Sea Bass we went to pay only to find that it was a cash only establishment and we only had a credit card with us.

Witnessing our predicament the owner said “it’s ok, next time” and handed me the bill. With him being closed the next day (Sunday) and us leaving Mannheim on Monday I explained that there would be no next time and he implied that the meal was complimentary. We told him we would go back to the hotel and get some cash & return.

On the way to the hotel I looked at the bill and noticed that he had failed to include the side dish we had ordered so when we returned to pay pointed it out to him - he was grateful for that, as well I guess as the fact that we had returned.

Not sure that there would be many restaurant owners that would allow guests to walk out without paying!

Note to self: Ensure that we always carry cash

I wasn’t going to comment on the $$ issue on your earlier post - but this one made me laugh even harder! All I’ll say is - told you there’s a reason to have cash in your wallet 🤣
