WITH the silly season in full swing, it’s not hard to think local restaurants must be run off their feet with Christmas dinners and end of year catch-ups.
But it was a little suprising for a group of workers who wanted to get together for dinner when they rang a well-known restaurant in Pakenham to make a booking, only to be told about an “empty seat” charge. They were told if only nine people showed up and the booking was for 10, they would be charged $15 per empty seat on top of their meals.
