    $6 overcharge in error. Tutorial school goes to court

    A tutorial school and its top executives are suing a restaurant for damages after a dispute over a HK$6 over-charge on a meal tab.

    Overreaction much?

    Funny surname.

    Obviously something that has been blown out of all proportion. However, very fcuking cheeky of the restaurant overcharging (regardless of the amount) and then not insisting to correct their error.

    Oh come one, this is HK. Being overcharged is a considered legitimate business practice. He should have just corrected the price and paid what was due. To take this to court is just him being a complete wanker and having his twisted form of up-himself fun.

    It's more of a case were staff is not allowed to even minimal flexibility and were they think companies profit is everything and we rather get maximum profit today then getting a repeat customer. Typical short term thinking.

    wise person was wrong. I fail to see how this could be good publicity for either party, especially the fffitzroy moron

    Irrelevant what you think, if the two acting parties themselves think there's any value in it then that's what matters.

    Tsai claimed that ffitzRoy was told he would be given a new bill - minus the disputed HK$6 - "but he left, leaving a name card, before the correct bill could be printed."
    The restaurant did claim they wanted to give a correct bill to the Knobhead but he left before it could be done, dont know if its true or not but a minor mistake being blown out of porpotion, ffitzRoy's sure needs to get a life or get laid ASAFP
