£2.50 per person corkage charge at Amraj

[megalithic]

so what? usually corkage is per bottle and even if it is 2.50 per head the place has rent rates and god knows what else to pay, why not buy what he sells behind the bar then no corkage1 why do people who go out to eat bother if they are just going to whine about the price:roll:

 

Do they charge £2 to go pee pee and a fiver for a dump too ?

It's a bloody cork man.

Put the bottles up your coat sleeves and have a crafty swig while pretending to wave to someone outside.

for gods sake stop being a tightwad!! if you dont like it dont go, the place has to make a profit, £2.50 is cheap, people that moan about restaurant prices should stay at home:roll:

 

As I said in my OP I've stopped going! Nothing against making profit in business but meals are expensive and he's already moaning about all his usual customers not coming anymore! If he wants to make the new place work and get the place full more often if it was me I would drop the corkage some people can't afford the extra cost.

He don't have a bar only BYO! I'm not tight it's principle.

A few less tight customer, good news for the owners as they dont need people like you there, he will have more space and time for real customers

Thats the point he's losing his customers because of it look on tripadviser.

Is this being applied to all diners, or just to the individuals who bring alcohol?

 

I'd have a big problem with being charged corkage when I'm not drinking even though I may be in a group of those who are drinking. I'm happy to pay for my own drinks, but not for the privilege of others drinking theirs.

whats more better?

5 tables with 200% profit?

10 tables with 50% profit?

do double the work for less money, doesnt take a degree in maths to work it out
