I show up to restaurant with wife and friend around 5. This was on sinkoh day mai-o.

Quick conversation with waitress:
Me - Do you have happy hour?
Waitress - yes.
Me - Until what time?
Waitress - 7pm.
Me - Is there a margarita on there?
Waitress - Yes.
Wife says, I'll have one of those. I pause and think, but instead I get a beer. Friend gets beer too.

15-20 minutes later, my friends wife shows up and sits at our table. Waitress comes by, sees my wife still has half her marg left, then sees my empty beer so asks if I need anything, I said, yeh I think I'll do a margarita now, too. Friend and friends wife both say yeh me too. We ask if happy hour has food.. yes, so we order 2 apps on happy hour and 1 not on hh.

Next go-around, wife switches to a beer, but the other couple and I got another round of margs. Still well before 7pm.

The bill comes, there is one happy hour marg at $5, and 6 petron margs at $10 ea.

I was pretty pissed. We all noticed it right away, but didn't say anything, it wasn't worth the headache. Is that acceptable for a waitress? We ask about margaritas on happy hour, wife orders one, then next round I say I'll have one now too, and she brings top shelf? Plus the others for the other couple?

At the very least, she could have cleverly asked 'is patron marg ok?', then, if we just said sure, she's safe and made a successful switch to patron. But my answer likely would have been, 'whatever happy hour is', which would have made it wrong for her if she brought patron.

But she didn't ask. Just completely ignored the precedent initially set by my wife.

You're asking a board full of cynical asshats if it's okay for a waiter to charge for something you didn't order? Just so I'm clear here.

Hope you didn't you tip.

This. It is obvious you were ordering hh margs.

This seems like a math problem. Sorry can't help you. Still not sure if train a or train b got there first.

I'd have asked to talk to the manager. No way I'd have paid that.

Did the waitress have big boobs?

Nobody drinks cheap tequila but low life college students. You should thank her.

Does it really matter in a chick drink like a margarita?

Would your rather me call you a critic? Do you know how tough it is being a critic?

Sounds like the waitress was in the wrong but also you're a bad writer so you know, we all have our faults.

I haven't done happy hours in a long time.. That's what I assumed, but thought maybe since I didn't specifically request HH marg (like my wife did, and it was a different round of ordering), maybe a switch is in the clear for them. Plus, a new person at the table just saying 'yeh marg for me too'. Clearly new person at table had no involvement in HH conversation, and I'd imagine it's fair game for waitress to bring top shelf to some one that just says 'I want a margarita.'

yeh is till tipped this devious waitress, probably too much.

No, flat and asian and she said 'no worries' after everything we said.

Turns out I should have been worried, you sneaky asian.

if you have 3 or 4, i would think it matters more because the cheap alcohol and sugar will kill you.

Creepy as F that you have a 5-year old friend.

Also, what's a 5-year old doing at a bar? I wish that CPS would do it's damn job.

She took advantage of you and still got paid for it. And now she'll continue to dupe people like you.

You've failed society.

I feel like this question could have been posed with way fewer words. Your post was overly verbose, too long, and contained a lot of unnecessary information. I'm saying you should have been more concise so that the post didn't take so long for us to read. Because it was very long. Due to the unnecessary information.

Who uses expensive liquor to mix drinks with?

Obviously, idiots like you.

I couldn't just say 'we ordered 6 margaritas during happy hour but got charged for patron.' that isn't enough info to deduce wrongdoing.

Well I'm not an LOL poor, so $15 didn't break the bank. Plus, free baby sitter that night, so we came out ahead anyway.

I do agree with your other comment, you don't need a badass anejo for a marg.. a cheap silver is fine.

Maybe unless you are having like 9 of them, but that's a rough morning no matter what kind you use.

So, you sat there and took it like a little *****? Don't be surprised if you start receiving Thank You cards from her inviting you to come back weekly.

You could have said

"My waiter charged me for things I didn't order. Is this wrong?"

Yes, it does. And in a situation where you were clearly asking about HH, she should have asked.

I'd have asked her about it at the very least - if she didn't fix it, then ask to speak to a manager.

This is 100% OP's fault.

It's not a big deal unless your an lolpoor pinching pennies trying to slam all the cheap drinks you can before the clock strikes 7.



Oh yeah...Rule #1 on both your wife and your friend's wife.
