Tell me you’ve never been to a good restaurant without telling me you’ve never been to one.

So many miserable people on dcum today 🙁

Not just today. Rich and miserable seems par for the course here.

It’s soooo common in Chicago but I don’t see it in DC metro as often.

Are you an adult? Have you never heard of a corkage fee?

They don’t have corkage at Applebee’s or TGI Friday’s. PP will not understand what you are talking about. She doesn’t go to places where they don’t have pictures on the menu.

This is a trashy response. Just because you can afford to eat at Michelin starred restaurants doesn’t mean you have class.

It has nothing to do with money, where you dine, or class. It has everything to do with being open to new knowledge, and not speaking about something you don’t actually know. OP asked a question: that’s seeking knowledge. That’s good. At least half the posters on here saying it is trashy or you shouldn’t do it, etc., have no clue what they are talking about. And yet they are talking.

It’s obviously fine to correct people who give incorrect information but the primary information conveyed by “she doesn’t go to place where they don’t have pictures on the menus” is that the poster is over the top rude and classless

What’s miserable about pointing out a fact?

The correct information has been provided several times, and yet some posters keep saying this is trashy, not done, etc. They are free to Google to verify but instead insist on arguing. That is trashy

Happy, healthy people are able to “point out a fact” in a kind way.

Allow me to demonstrate a kind response -

Hi OP! It’s not trashy at all to bring a special wine to a restaurant. Many people have favorite wines. Just be aware of the restaurant’s policy. Some may not allow it. The ones that do will likely charge a corkage fee. The amount varies tremendously. I’ve see as low as $5.00 and as high as $100. Be sure to ask when you call to make a reservation. Hope you have a great time!

No, not at all. It’s classy to me. Now if you’re bringing Yellow Tail, that’s a different story.

Yes they have. In unkind, condescending, judgmental, bullying ways. It costs nothing to be kind.

You can stop reading this thread if it bothers you. Or you can go to Outback Steakhouse where there are no rules and everything is just right.

NP. Do you not understand who you’re responding to? You seem confused.

Stable people are able to receive and process faces without repeatedly posting incorrect information even after it has been explained to them.
