Pau_Gasol_Trade 08/26/22 11:32:15 PM #1:	So me and 4 other co workers agreed to all go to kbbq directly after work, which is right before the dinner rush hour. I was the first to arrive and reserved a table for 5. Second person arrives and we are at a table that is meant for 8 people. We wait for 30 minutes and decide to order the food. An hour after our initial arrival, the other 3 contact us all at the same one and said they cant go. So me and the other guy are stuck with a bill for 5 customers. Are me and the other guy at fault for reserving for 5 or are the other 3? <cite>Pau_Gasol_Trade posted [p:967601966] in Who is at ...

Pau_Gasol_Trade posted... An hour after our initial arrival, the other 3 contact us all at the same one and said they cant go. So me and the other guy are stuck with a bill for 5 customers. Are me and the other guy at fault for reserving for 5 or are the other 3? You're not at fault for reserving for five people, but why did you order food for five people? Is the reservation done with the expectation that there will be that many people there, therefore they supply as much food for five people? Why couldn't they just give you food for two people? Is that how Korean barbecue works? Just bring everything to the hot plate and you cook it yourself, right? That sounds like a you problem.
