For our last dinner in France, we went to a rather touristy
but recommended restaurant on Montmartre after finding one other restaurant closed and a top rated one not taking walk-ins.
Dinner was fine, nothing spectacular, and we decided to charge our 83
euro bill. Well, the server added a zero
accidentally and then the restaurant couldn't cancel the charge! At first we thought they had canceled it and
were having trouble reprocessing the charge, but then a manager came over and
offered to write us a check for the difference.
Jake was concerned about the processing fees our bank might charge us
for processing a check in euros. I
suggested that we try to call the bank to cancel the charge. So the manager found an international number online and Jake called on the restaurant's
phone. After much button pressing he
reached an actual person who was informed of the problem. So we hope that with one more phone call to
confirm we will be able to cancel the original charge. The server did bring us each a glass of
champagne while we were waiting for all the calls and processing, but neither
of us was particularly looking for more to drink!
I hope I will have nothing more to report on this trip!
