Eish, the dinner cost more than the actual holiday, this ain’t no cheap skate.
An Australian man took to a Facebook group, Bali Bogans to share his disappointment regarding a mishap on his vacation.
He explains that while out on his birthday dinner, he decided to celebrate by ordering a bottle of wine.
According to LADBible news, he had thought the bottle – Domaine Leflaive Chevalier-Montrachet – had a price tag of $170 AUD.
The man said: “The waiter paused and said, ‘are you sure sir?’
“I scoffed at him and said ‘yup no worries’. (like how dare he think I’m not good for a $170 bottle of wine) anyway the wine was consumed along with a delicious dinner and at one point the chef came out to introduce himself.
Yup no worries? he did not know what was coming for his wallet, a dent and a half!
Further, he says that he did find it odd but thought it’s probably a fancy restaurant. However, the man got the shock of his life the next morning when he saw how much he actually spent; over $2 000, a whooping R24 500.
Obviously he freaked out, he then calls the restaurant and sadly realised the price of the bottle, was in fact $1 700, R20 000. Is that bottle made of gold? Alcohol straight from the heavens? Eina!
The unlucky tourist wrote: “That meal actually cost more than the entire holiday, adding “needless to say I’m not allowed to order anything off a menu without getting the okay from the other half!”
I would die a thousand deaths.
