18143. Question for all you caterers out there.... - cheezz - 3:09pm on 04/29/10 (17)

I've had catering done before and always get a bottom line price with everything listed - KarenNoCA - 3:17pm on 04/29/10

So true... For the record, I would refuse to pay the fee added to the end, and... - Richard in Cincy - 4:44pm on 04/30/10

Yes, it's the "fees because we can charge fees" that kills ya! [NT] - cheezz - 7:01pm on 04/30/10

Out of curiosity, I googled California cater "service fee" . It varies in percentage. One was as hi - Curious1 - 3:41pm on 04/29/10
My 2 cents... - Traca - 5:35pm on 04/29/10

But Traca, there was no one there staffing the event and they said it wasn't a tip... - cheezz - 8:35pm on 04/29/10

Sounds like a blatant bait and switch money grab. - Richard in Cincy - 6:13pm on 04/30/10

It gets more complicated than that... - cheezz - 7:05pm on 04/30/10

Well that compltetely changes things... - Richard in Cincy - 9:36pm on 04/30/10

Yes, that's what we thought, too. She had the chance to back out (even tho it was last minute) - cheezz - 12:48am on 05/01/10

Unfortunately, it was a verbal agreement and she thought they had laid all the costs out. - cheezz - 8:31pm on 04/29/10

Too bad, she won't dispute it. The bottom line, and believe me when I tell you - KarenNoCA - 11:43pm on 04/29/10

I'm a freelance editor/writer/researcher and I ALWAYS have a contract. - Amanda_Pennsylvania - 4:12am on 04/30/10

Legally, a verbal agreement is still a contract. I'd say pay the original amount & - Traca - 7:18pm on 04/30/10
This was a drop contract? No service? - Glennis_NoCA - 7:59pm on 05/01/10

I know, I know... I'd fight it, too, but she DID know beforehand and isn't the fighting type :( [NT] - cheezz - 11:30pm on 05/02/10
