Holiday warning as Spanish bar CHARGES customers every time waiter goes to the table – with shock fee for using cutlery

The man discovered he was not only charged an additional 20 cents every time the waiter went to his table but also an extra euro (£0.85) for the use of cutlery. The bizarre incident happened last year with the restaurant claiming the extra charge was for every drink that was served rather than every time the waiter went to the table. The baffled customer took it to Twitter with his post quickly becoming viral as others shared similar experiences.
