I drive for Lyft part time and as a result encounter quite a few tourists. I like to brag about the restaurant scene and people always seem to be impressed with the dining choices in town. Passengers often ask me for recommendations about where to eat.
I did get a comment last night, though, that was kind of disappointing. A couple had dined at a Whiskey Row restaurant, and while they enjoyed the food something detracted from their experience. Apparently one of them ordered a cocktail, and when they received the check the price they were charged was $4 higher than what was listed on the menu. They disputed it and the price was reduced by $2, but they were still charged more than the menu price. They again disputed it but were told (they said) "that's the price."
Of course, what they told me and what actually occurred may have been two different things. I did apologize to them (not sure why I felt embarrassed about it). I just hope we're not developing the "let's stick it to the tourists" attitude I find in many other cities.
