Only order what / and as much as you can afford, pay separately, and only go as frequently as you can afford to go. It’s not difficult.
Yes, that the restaurant was at fault in forgetting the entree has been established - I’m not disputing that.
I wasn’t making an argument about what the restaurant should or should not have done. They didn’t offer the meal free when the customer re-confirmed the order - if they didn’t want to pay for it, they had opportunity to cancel it.
“A max of £90 a night, for four days, is £360.”
Uh, ok?
“The dining experience will comprise a 2 course meal”
Exactly - and if you can’t adjust your work schedule to accommodate another potential client’s deadline, it’s likely because you are working on a project that has a deadline.
Ok, but I think it’s safe to assume the letter writer is an adult - and your children are not?
“Certainly they lost less money by giving us free dessert than a free entree.”
I’m debating with you, not the guy who wrote the book.
Seems to me that someone who has spent “years investigating the art world and more specifically the gallery & auction ones” would have a much better way of making an argument about it than ignoring key words and telling someone to buy and read a book to help make the argument for them.
And yet, it is still ultimately the final bidder who determines the ultimate value (i.e. ultimate sale price) of the item being auctioned, based on what they decide the value is to them. Minimum bids and reserves are the minimum sale price, not necessarily the ultimate sale price. You seem to be completely ignoring…
Also:
“This isn’t an “effort”, it’s a publicity stunt.”
Bidders choose the amount they bid. The winning bid is what the ultimate value of the piece is (as far as it’s most current evaluation). Auctioneers may set the initial minimum bid on an item, but that is not what dictates the winning bid - the winning bidder does that.
You said Mnuchin was swindled (by Koons, when he purchased the piece from someone else who isn’t Koons) - and then you said “The point is, it’s not their money” when I asked you how Mnuchin was swindled. It seems you’re the one who is confused. So if you are saying Mnuchin bought the piece with other peoples’ money,…
There are multiple kinds of ramen for which the seasonings come in concentrated paste or liquid form, and are meant to be either diluted in water and heated or mixed with pre-heated water (not the water drained from the noodles) to form a broth - my wife and I eat them on a near-weekly basis. And even if the…
It’s not whose money? Mnuchin’s?
