Zurich restaurant now charges $10 extra to anyone not ordering a main course

http://www.thedailymeal.com/zurich-restaurant-charges-for-skipping-entree/21316

It’s not unusual for a restaurant patron to be less hungry than expected and decide to order an appetizer instead of a main course, but one Zurich restaurant got so sick of the practice that it has started adding a fee for any customers who don’t order a main dish.

According to The Local, the restaurant Neumarkt in Zurich charges 10 Swiss Francs, or $10.23, for any customers who don’t order a main course. The fee has not gone over very well with some customers.

“Typical of Zurich,” one Facebook commenter reportedly complained.

In spite of the complaints, the restaurant maintains that the fee is totally fair, especially since without it people keep coming to the restaurant and staying all day without actually ordering anything.
