GREEK RESTAURANT BECOMING NOTORIOUS FOR EXTREME OVERCHARGING

Twice in one week, a notorious Greek restaurant has made news for its extreme price gouging of unsuspecting tourists. The restaurant on the island of Mykos, DK Oyster, first overcharged some Canadian tourists nearly $600 for food and drinks they didn’t want. Now, a US couple has been charged $510 for a dozen oysters and four drinks that they didn’t want. New Jersey lawyer Theodora McCormick said she and her husband were vacationing on the Mediterranean island when they were looking for a cab and spotted a sign outside DK Oyster explaining that the restaurant could hail them a taxi. While waiting, they asked for a drink menu. Instead, the waiter rattled off a list of drink options, not naming any prices. Wishing to be polite, the couple ordered two beers. The waiter pressured them into ordering an additional two martinis and a dozen oysters. The beer came in what they described as cartoonishly big glasses, three pints of beer in each glass. Their final bill came to the equivalent of $510. When they complained about the bill, the pair became surrounded by “a group of big, hulking” male servers who didn’t leave until the diners agreed to cough up the cash.
– Previously, Canadian newlyweds Lindsay and Alex Breen claimed they stopped at the restaurant and were charged $570 for a beer, an Aperol spritz and a dozen oysters — which they’d also been pressured into ordering.
* Well, you have to charge that much when you only have two customers a day.
* Today’s Catch of the Day: Suckers.
* The intimidation by the big waiters was an extra hundred bucks.
* What a ripoff! Next year, the couple says, they’re going to Disney World.
