Why didn't this person go get a damned sandwich at a run-of-the-mill, normal deli or greasy spoon? Because those joints aren't pretentious enough to suit you?

Challenge your credit card charges (cc companies are good with this type of stuff, they'll probably take it off with no problem), and then simone will have to take you to small claims court, which they'll never do because the cost of doing so far exceeds to cost of the sandwich. <br /><br />The lowering of lighting and putting on loud music making the restaurant unpleasant to dine it constitutes a "change in circumstances" allowing you to rescind the contract you made by ordering the sandwich. There's a million other defenses, but that one will be good enough if it ever comes to it. Since you didn't take the sandwich, it's merely a breach of contract IF simone ended up winning - which they wont - so there is no criminal liability whatsoever.<br /><br />Bottom line is that cops typically don't know what the law actually is, will always favor a business over an individual, and usually will say whatever suits their interest of not having to waste time writing up paperwork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-9582448340045848092010-04-09T14:08:02.657-04:002010-04-09T14:08:02.657-04:00I like Three of Cups, and the owner is very nice. ...I like Three of Cups, and the owner is very nice.
