Persian waiter offered us ice cream then charged us for it

Date: June 16th, 2026 5:41 PM Author: rose field brethren Wife and I were done with lunch. We had ordered the xo Borani, the xo koobideh lunch portion and the MFCR XO LAMB SHANK, everything was delicious. We’d been waiting a while for our bill so I flagged down the Jose that was cleaning the tables and asked if he could get our bill. As he was returning with our bill the Persian waiter shoo’d him away, approached us excitedly and said “You have to try our ice cream, it is sooo delicious. It has saffron and nuts in it.” We thought he was offering it on the house, but when we got our bill I noticed he charged $7.95 for the ice cream, which, by the way, was soooo CR.
We tipped him normally but just wondering what the Talmud might think about this situation. TYIA |

Date: June 16th, 2026 9:19 PM Author: soul-stirring geriatric forum "you have to try" would never mean gratis in a restaurant context. they'd have to explicitly say it's on the house, or it's presumed you're paying for it.
similar to "can i interest you in the _____" -- that's obviously a sales pitch too |

Date: June 16th, 2026 9:23 PM Author: rose field brethren but what about the fact that we had already asked for our bill and were obviously not planning on ordering dessert? and that the bill was arriving right before he made this offer? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5874754&forum_id=2\u0026hid=#49943166) |

Date: June 16th, 2026 9:29 PM Author: soul-stirring geriatric forum That part is very bad evidence for you. It shows that the waiter sought to keep the bill open and didn’t see your meal as complete, and you reasonably should have known that.
If Jose dropped off the bill at the table and then he said this, and they brought you a second bill after you ordered the ice cream, you’d have a better case |

Date: June 16th, 2026 9:36 PM Author: rose field brethren Thank you for the Talmudic insight. I wasn’t mad about it, the ice cream was delicious.
Why should I have known whether the waiter saw my meal as complete? He had ignored us for at least 15 minutes after we finished eating our food. The Jose had already brought boxes and the leftovers were packed. Shouldn’t he have known that I thought my meal was complete for all of the mentioned reasons? |

Date: June 17th, 2026 7:39 AM Author: soul-stirring geriatric forum it's irrelevant whether YOU thought your meal is complete BEFORE he approached you. it's relevant that HIS intent was to try to get you to BUY dessert, and you had actual or constructive knowledge this was his intent when you accepted the dessert.

Date: June 17th, 2026 4:15 PM Author: soul-stirring geriatric forum if it's not an unreasonable assumption he made, then he shouldn't be obligated to pay for it (other than maybe pay for the value of the raw ingredients consumed). that being said, there's no way he made a reasonable assumption.
