HOG ROASTS AT SANTIAGO DINER AND KARAOKE BAR

[ANGIE]

Thanks to the lack of manners and consideration shown by a few selfish people, the Hog Roast attendance last weekend was blighted by some 22 people not turning up despite booking in advance. A phone call in advance of the event is all it takes. However, because people didn’t ring in time for those on the waiting list to fill their places, or didn't ring at all, in future it seems people may have to pay in advance to ensure the venue doesn’t suffer financially.

 Sounds like sabotage to me Angie, surely 22 people would have the decency to telephone and cancel. Our friend opened a new Bistro not long ago and three large parties booked and failed to show up. A pretty disgusting thing to do and as you say, other people could have had the booking. Taking a deposit is the way to go.
