shawn bread

I cannot begin to tell you how happy this made me. This place clearly didn’t realise they were dealing with a consumer rights lawyer… hahaha. Love it. So he was not only awarded the 7€ refund, the restaurant also had to pay for his legal fees. Fuck around and find out bitches! I feel so vindicated… Shawn of The Bread. We need more of this.

For the record, in Andalucía it is illegal to charge for any food item brought to the table without it having been ordered first (olives, bread, etc), and all food items have to be listed (with prices) on the menu. It is also illegal to charge for any non-food item ie “service”.

Also for the record… I seldom want bread in a tapas bar because 1) it’s usually not great bread and 2) it’s not necessary and just fills me up so I can’t enjoy other things. BUT when I want bread I am happy to order and pay for it. It’s this sneaky ILLEGAL “admission fee” charge that I refuse to pay.

locked in

Well damn. The lock on my apartment door has given up the ghost. It’s been “sticking” for a while and then today… that was it. It stuck in LOCKED position and Peter couldn’t get in after going upstairs to hang his laundry. Lucky I was home and could open it from the inside. Anyhow, turns out that this isn’t covered under the landlord’s insurance, so we’re going to have to find a hopefully not-too-expensive locksmith to come and replace the lock. Which obviously is a bit more complex than the one in this photo. And since it’s now the weekend gotta wait until Monday or pay exorbitant weekend prices, which means that we are LOCKED IN. Ok, not totally, but only one of us can go out at a time, so there’s someone at home to let them back in. Good times.
