    you like coffee??

    Tourists Charged $135 for Coffee


    A group of tourists was charged $135 for four coffees in Venice, Italy this week. The group of seven tourists from Rome sat down at Caffe Lavena in the famed St. Mark?s Square, ordered four espressos with shots of Amaro, an Italian liqueur, and enjoyed themselves. When the tourists received the bill for ?101, or $135, they were shocked to find espresso was $8 a cup, a shot of Amaro was $11, and they'd been charged another $56 because there was a string quintet playing!

          Ive been there before and they LIST the prices clearly for you to see.

          So they are just trying to make a scene, but what did they expect, a $1 espresso and $2 shot? This isn't Detroit...

          Stupid tourist making society look worse. If you go to a nice place and nice things are happening, you will pay more. Idiots

                      so they should sit and play for free for people all day? Sounds like a 10 Euro charge if you want to sit down. Have you ever been out of the US? It's common to charge a "dinning" fee if you want to sit down or take your food to go.

                      obviously this is something you wont find in your local chain store because they will allow anyone in and eat outside food. try that in an upscale restaurant and see how fast your ass get's tossed out.

                      point being, doing some homework before you travel and don't be so ignorant all the time

                      next time you go to a sporting event, tell them you're not going to watch the game, you're going to sit in the seat and play candy crush, so you shouldn't have to pay.

                              Bought ice cream in florida once and every damn cone was ringing up $6-$8+, I didn't care cause was on vacation but once my aunt saw the first order ring up she changed her order on me, tried to get her to get whatever she was originally going to get but she wouldn't tell me as she thought the prices were crazy which they were, don't remember the total but cones for 5 people was pretty damn pricey, beware when the ice cream shop doesn't list prices

                                                              Charging for the band is weak (anyone that thinks otherwise, please speak up); but to think Amaretto in a Venice hotel was going to be cheap, I am not sure where their head was at.

                                                              I've never paid to sit down and eat my food in Europe.

Have you ever been out of the US? It's common to charge a "dinning" fee if you want to sit down or take your food to go.

                                                                                                  when in fact those tourists will likely never go back there, and not only that but with this story will spread the word to millions of other future tourists (such as myself for example) who will also watch for and avoid such places.

                                                                                                  Those prices and charges are absurd.

                                                                                                          So they are just trying to make a scene, but what did they expect, a $1 espresso and $2 shot? This isn't Detroit...

                                                                                                          Stupid tourist making society look worse. If you go to a nice place and nice things are happening, you will pay more. Idiots

                                                                                                              i can also see at certain times an upscale cafe bringing in an upscale band that commands upscale fees, i would not have a problem at all paying extra for that.

Not much - like 10% more - but its still more. This may be an extreme version of that kind of thing?

                                                                                                                                                      Top 3 beers are Poker (1,100 pesos) Aguila (1,300 pesos) and Club Colombia (1,500 pesos). I'm a big spender, so I go with the 75 cent Club Colombia.

                                                                                                                                                      But sometimes I chill at the Bogota Beer Company - a great microbrewery that's been around for about 10 years - maybe 8 locations in Bogota. But now we're talking $3-4 a beer - considering rolled joints go for $2.50, that's some serious cash!

                                                                                                                                                                                          A few years back we had a $100 gift certificate for a swank upscale restaurant in Niagara Falls - given to us as an anniversary gift.

                                                                                                                                                                                          We ordered a "dinner for two" selection from the menu - priced at just under $100.

                                                                                                                                                                                          When the bill arrived...they tried charging us $200 - double the price on the menu. The waiter claimed the "dinner for two" price was "per person". This wasn't indicated anywhere on the menu.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I refused to pay it and demanded to see the manager. He came out and attempted to justify the bill with the same bullshit explanation. I still refused to pay - told him it was a bait and switch stunt...and told him I'd be contacting Consumer and Corporate Affairs with a formal written complaint.

                                                                                                                                                                                          After a heated 20 mins. we settled the disagreement when I agreed to pay $100 (plus the drinks). I told him to fuck himself as I left...and still made a complaint to CCA a few days later.

Word spreads pretty quick in the community about places like that.

                                                                                                                                                                                          I was gratified to see they eventually closed down about a year later.

Word spreads pretty quick in the community about places like that.

                                                                                                                                                                                                  I was gratified to see they eventually closed down about a year later.
