Notorious Greek Restaurant Scams Another Couple $557 for Drinks, Oysters
New York Post | August 8, 2022 | Ben CostLess than a week after Canadian tourists were allegedly overcharged nearly $600 by Greece’s notorious DK Oyster, the restaurant is going viral for yet another incident of alleged epicurean extortion. This time, the Mykonos-based eatery allegedly charged a US couple a wallet-sapping $510 for a dozen oysters and four drinks.
“My husband was like, ‘There’s got to be a mistake,” New Jersey lawyer Theodora McCormick, 50, told the Sun of the alleged “weird experience,” which occurred last month while she and her husband were vacationing on the Mediterranean island.
Unfortunately, their idyllic seaside getaway went south after they stopped by the seafood depot for a drink. The adventurer said they were looking for a cab back to their hotel when they spotted a sign outside DK Oyster explaining taxis could be hailed from inside.
This lawyer married one shrewd guy.
The article’s author: Ben Cost. Heh.
The restaurant is a “Mykonos-based eatery”? Is it on Mykonos or isn’t it? Verbose, Ben Cost.
“Allegedly” charged? Please investigate before printing. If the restaurant didn’t charge them this, then the whole article becomes tissue paper.
Straight Line of the Day: “Excuse Me, Waiter …”
“Excuse Me, Waiter … There’s a drone in my soup”
Waiter: “No… that’s really a $1500 crouton.”
Excuse me waiter..I said DK oysters not DQ tacos.
What’s todays market price for a stawberry daiquiri?
“Well, shucks, I didn’t know I’d be shelling out this kind of dough… I’m really steamed that you take advantage of people who are obviously stewed…”
… I’m sorry, but I don’t tip waitstaff in months that don’t have an “x” in them…”
“Excuse me waiter, have you frog legs?”
Waiter: “Ha, that’s a good one sir, it’s actually arthritis.”
“Waiter… there was no meat in my sandwich, it was supposed to come with an extra large patty.”
“…and it was served by our 300 lbs. waitress… Patty.”
“I beg your pardon, but is the “Blue Oyster, Don’t Fear the Carolina Reaper Pepper Chowder with extra Cowbell” really $10,000 a cup?”
“Excuse Me, Waiter …”
I understand the $35.99 for the drinks and shellfish, but it appears that you charged me for 4 EpiPens and I only used 2.
Beware of Greeks bearing oysters and drinks. ~ Old proverb
Waiter, could you please button up? I think there’s chest-beard and gold chain in my soup.
“And you, sir, are no Hooters waitress.”
“Excuse Me, Waiter …”
Can I please have a complementary 2 fingers of 50 year old single malt to wash the taste of this $400 glass of yellowtail out of my mouth?
“Excuse Me, Waiter …
if you learn to ‘math’ you can stop waiting tables.”
“… as you can see, there was no pearl in my oyster.”
“You say oyster, and I say shyster — let’s call the whole thing off.”
…there’s a fly in my soup!
Sorry xer, out cook should have hung up his trousers in the staff room.
…the menu says the soup is served in a Greek urn. What’s a Greek urn?
About 20 drachmas a day.
Waiter, there’s a fly in my soup.
Protein addition is a $150 upgrade
…”$500 for oysters? This is madness.”
“Madness?… THIS. IS. MYKONOS!!!” (kicks customer into pit of debt)
There are free mints out in the Molon Lobby.
Waiter, I demand you immediately remove this gross, stinky oyster stuff and bring us the cheese sandwiches you talked us out of.
Excuse me, waiter….
…but writing up a bill for $500 is not how you make Oysters Rockefeller.
Lots of sunlight — that’s how you make oysters rock a feller.
… “Caviar Emptor, eh? Well, you better lose a decimal point right now, or I’ll go all Waffle House and Chuck E. Cheese on your Pythagorass, Error-stotle!”
Excuse me, waiter….
Please show me the bill so far before we desert…
