One diner was left shocked after he checked his receipt at the end of an evening out to find a $15 charge with the description "You're an a**hole" next to it.
Eating out can be a fun experience, and most people know to be polite to their servers and to tip well if the service is good.
But one man thought he had offended his server when he checked his bill after a night out to find a $15 charge telling him: "You're an a**hole".
He took to Reddit to share a copy of his receipt, telling fellow users: "My dinner receipt had a message for me."
Of course, getting what appears to be an extra charge on account of your behavior - especially if you've been well-behaved throughout your meal - might come as quite a shock, but it turns out there was a good reason for it.
He told fellow Redditors: "My wife and I went to a restaurant for her birthday and we both had cocktails.
"I completely forgot the name of the cocktail by the time the receipt came but its name was 'You’re an A**hole, Mr. Burton' lmao It definitely caught me by surprise."
The man responded to a comment which read: "Oh I figured they charged you $5 for taking advantage of the $10 birthday discount", telling them: "I thought so, too, but apparently it’s the name of a cocktail."
Sure enough, on the menu for the Westgate Bourbon Bar and Taphouse in Beaverton, Oregon, there is in fact a gin-based cocktail called 'You're An A**hole, Mr Burton'.
And that wasn't the only thing that caught people's eye on the receipt, as one of the dishes the man had ordered was named the "fried chicken t*t".
Coming in at $18, the dish is described on the website as: "breaded and fried DD chicken breast, havarti, lettuce, tomato, basil, mustard aioli, on a grilled ciabatta bun.
"Yes. we said t*t. ..from a chicken. go ahead. pretend you’re offended. i’m offended you’re offended."
Other notable menu items include 'Someone's Sloppy Sister', which consists of ingredients including soppressata salami, capicola cold cuts, turkey, and cheese, with a footnote adding: "I'd eat that".
It also has a Caesar salad called "et tu, brute?", referring to the line from the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, in which the emperor utters the line meaning "Even you, Brutus?", after recognizing his friend Brutus among the gang of assassins stabbing him to death.
Other items are also named the 'Walk of Shame' and '(Bearded) Clams', while you can also get a 'Boring Betty' burger which is described as "your cheese (pepper jack, swiss, white cheddar, gorgonzola) lettuce, tomato, onion, garlic herb aioli, and a lack of imagination."
While the 'a**hole' charge might not have been what it first seemed, other Reddit users believed restaurants should be able to add on a charge for rude customers nonetheless.
They commented: "I wish we could charge customers for being a**holes. We would make so much money. People are garbage", while another responded: "I have charged an a**hole tax to some customers and fired other customers outright. Feels good."
Another wrote: "I genuinely wish wait staff could just tack on service charges like this," to which someone else revealed: "I used to be a waiter and there were times I seriously wanted to tack on a 'F**k you' charge."
Others just joked: "$15 a**hole fee, $10 birthday discount" and "I can be an a**hole for ten bucks. This god damn inflation."
