Hello, everyone. This is your friendly Blogmaster. We’re about to do a little overhaul work on Whining & Dining. Giving it a nicer look. Hopefully, no issues will come up, but if something looks a little strange, it should be worked out pretty soon.
If you’re reading this around 7 p.m. or so tonight and there is still something wrong, please e-mail me or post a comment on here describing the problem.
Any other feedback is welcome as well. If you don’t want to e-mail me directly, just let Jennifer or Fredric know and they’ll pass the word along.
Thanks,

i know this isn’t the correct place to place this but maybe you can help a novice in this situation:
How would the dining customers at any given Memphis restaurant feel when they received their check and find an added fuel charge? I’m not saying this will actually happen; just that theoretically many restaurant owners and managers are probably contemplating this very idea.
This is the deal. Restaurant owners, like myself, and operators are starting to see an added surcharge for fuel or energy cost added to our invoices. This is not just for our services such as linen delivery or such, but from every purveyor of goods and services.
They tell us it is because of the gas and diesel prices going up and they’re trying to stay competitive and this is the only way to keep the prices down, and… Boo-Hoo.
I say B-Somethingelse!
The reality is that prices go up according to economic factors. If oil goes up it will cost more to grow, pick, ship, and deliver a tomato to my door. I expect prices to go up and in turn have to pass them on to the customer- that is life. However I do not like getting hit twice with fuel surcharges that I cannot inventory. And guess what? Tomatoes will still go up!
I can only imagine the look on your face when I hand you a bill for: 1 Omelet, toast, Coffee, and oh sorry, a .50 fuel charge.
Any one who ever eats out should be just as mad about this as I, because I guarantee I know who is paying double for the price of fuel going up once!
Any way all beware it will only get worse before it gets better.
