Last night I was at a club I'd been to multiple times over the past few years. A new bartender came on duty along with the dancer shift change. She came over and asked if I wanted a drink as I had nothing in front of me. I said sure, make it a draft. I was intoxicated and silly me didn’t give any additional details to my order. She immediately gives me the beer. It was in a different style glass than my beer is normally served in, but I didn’t question it as I had completely forgot that there was more than one brand of beer available. It didn’t register until my last swallow when I noticed that it tasted a little different than my regular beer. The bartender asks if I want to another. I ask how much was that one, knowing the answer. She says $5.50 plus a tip if I want. I just paid her, no tip, and moved to a table, away from the bar.
Now had she just asked which brand of beer I wanted, I would've said a domestic ($4.25) and got a few more from her and she would've got a tip considering the service as a standalone was good. I certainly would not have done the import for $5.50 especially since I only noticed the difference for the last swallow.
Is this ROB behavior or does something have to be promised or implied that she didn’t deliver?
A similar story could be used for happy hour vs. non-happy hour prices? Would that be a ROB?
Absolutely
