I just went to a local establishment and ordered my meal, and the waiter asked me if I wanted bread, to which I said yes. My meal came with the bread that was offered plus another kind of bread (which apparently came with the meal). When I saw the bread on my bill, I said that I was under the impression the bread was free. He responded by saying that I wanted the bread and that he wasn't the owner and just worked there.
So, who is at fault here? Me, the waiter, or both?

I worked at a restaurant that charged for bread (allo spiedo) but it was "high end bread" that came with roasted garlic. Most customers agreed it was totally worth it, and I ALWAYS mentioned the charge.
