the hassle factor is the most correct point there
nobody is going to sue over a few quid.

the bottom line is, ordering a meal is a contract. the restaurant makes an "invitation to treat" on its menu. you then make an offer to purchase its goods at the menu price. the menu supplies the goods, and you give consideration for that by paying.

if the goods aren't satisfactory, you slug it out. but you can't eat them all and then argue they were shit!

Oh man, I wish I knew that.
I once bought a 'club sandwich' that was 3 slices of plastic bread with a single slice of that packet roast beef between the two bread gaps, a packet of walkers crisps and a can of coke for £9. They forgot the horseraddish, butter and salad.

I got ripped off at the Science Museum on Sunday; £1.70 for a can of coke.

It's really, really hard to win that argument if you've paid up front, though.
It's one thing to refuse to pay - quite another to get a refund
