An overview of important gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) techniques currently used in food analysis is described.
Considerable attention is devoted to the use of the mass spectrometer, in relation to its potential for separation and identification.
The importance of comprehensive two-dimensional GC (GC×GC) is also discussed.
Food products are usually of a highly complex nature and are composed of organic material (fats, sugars, proteins and vitamins)
and inorganic material, (water and minerals). Apart from natural constituents, foods can contain xenobiotic compounds deriving
from a variety of sources, including the environment, packaging, agrochemical treatments, etc. Many xenobiotic compounds can
have a profound negative effect on human health — even at trace concentration levels.
A gas chromatography mass spectometry (GC–MS) analysis of a food can vary in scope. For example, a GC–MS method can be used
for the qualitative/quantitative analysis of untargeted volatiles (for example, elucidation of an aroma profile) or targeted
ones (such as pesticides). Furthermore, a GC–MS method can also be exploited for the generation of a chromatography profile
(fingerprinting), with the aim of distinguishing between food samples of the same type (for example, to determine geographical
origin). In such studies, the exploitation of statistical methods is almost obligatory. However, for almost any purpose, a
GC–MS technique must be both sensitive and selective, as well as possessing a decent separation power and speed. The extent
to which one or more of the aforementioned features prevails is dependent on the initial analytical objective.
In the GC–MS field, most analysts are located in one of two groups. On the one hand, there are the many separation scientists
who are mainly GC specialists and devote their time almost entirely to the optimization of the separation step, and tend to
treat the MS instrument as a simple detector. Such an approach is fine if the ion source receives totallyisolated solutes,
identified commonly by using dedicated MS databases. Problems arise when peak overlapping occurs, hence demanding a deeper
exploitation of the MS step (for example, by using peak deconvolution methodologies, extracted ions or knowledge of MS fragmentation
processes). On the other hand, several MS specialists pay little attention to the GC process, and prefer to circumvent a poor
GC separation by exploiting a mass-analysing second dimension: multi-compound bands are transformed into a bunch of ions that
are resolved and detected on a mass basis. It is obvious, however, that in the case of extensive co-elution, the reliability
of the qualitative/quantitative results can be hampered. In truth, both analytical dimensions are complementary, and should
be pushed to their full capacities.

Tacos al pastor in New Rochelle, Little Mexican Cafe
I just came back and it's the real deal--chili rubbed pork, strung onto an upright rotisserie (v. similar to the rig they use at Lefteris Gyro)and capped with a pineapple slice. At the bottom is an onion, but I can't see that it adds flavor unless they collect the drippings. The whole assembly is spit roasted in a contraption with flame panels, like an upright infra-red broiler. The meat is sliced off the spit, caramelized briefly on the grill (just like lefteris) and then served in a gently toasted soft corn taco--$2. It's my new favorite thing at Little Mexican Cafe--it's tender, delicious, divinely peppery.
I'm drooling...what's the taco called? Is this that joint on the corner that people years ago went on and on over their pozole?
Ok, it's confirmed. I'm going Thursday. I just blocked my calendar. Can't wait.
Thanks so much for following up on this.
After the Dodgers Mets game last thursday (sniff, my dodgers lost), I went to a place I know of on Roosevelt ave for tacos al pastor. That this place is around and 20+ minutes closer is just awesome. Real tacos al pastor. In westchester. Whodathunk???
Thanks again. I'll report back after Thursday.
re: adamclyde
well??? :)
re: dolores
I don't know that all restaurants serving tacos al pastor are actually spit-roasting their pork--I went to tortilliera los gemellos last week and had the al pastor(on adamclyde's general rave on the restaurant--where are you, adamclyde? Have you been to little mexican yet?) and it wasn't particularly great, either. However--the tacos al pastor at little mexican cafe are wonderful. Incredibly juicy, with a tangy/hot chili coating--a whole nother animal, really brightly flavored. But then, I really never had a bad dish at Little Mexican Cafe--I'm particularly crazy for the mole, and the grilled meats with guac.
re: J. Sexton
hey there. I'm here. just busy. I actually made two trips to new rochelle, two trips, four restaurants and nine tacos. just haven't had a minute to post about it.
there's no doubt that little mexican cafe has superior al pastor to any around. it was very good. los gemelos is the best in PC for mexican, though their al pastor is just ok. their carnitas is their best, as is the birria. The tortillas are part of what makes los gemelos special. It's great food but with what I experienced in NR the other day, there's no reason to make the 15 minute drive. you've got more places in new rochelle at or above the level of places in PC hands down. in PC, there's los gemelos and that's all I go to for mexican. in nr, I'd go to any I tried again as much as I could...
btw, the best taco I had amongst all of them? the carnitas taco at el michoacano. totally a surprise. but, again, I'll do a proper post on it shortly. sorry for the MIA status lately. I'll have more time in a few days! promise!
re: adamclyde
Well, I'm glad you concur about little mexican cafe--I feel vindicated. Next stop for me--Pastelandya. It's on Union, a couple doors down from El Trigal, the bakey. Next time you're in NR (or PC), I'd love to pick your brain a bit on area Mexican.
re: dolores
I'm doing some all day classes in white plains all week and went to sunset grille today to check it out in the short break I had. it was closed on monday. they've got an impressive menu, but it's definitely not a taqueria kind of place. looks like a very nice sit down restaurant. looks promising, but I'll have to try it out.
so instead I went to cancun delights and got a nice plate of chiva enchilada (goat in a nice dark red sauce). quite good.
as to the masa thing at sunset grille... I'm sure they are making their masa from reconstituted masa harina. I just can't imagine they are grinding their now nixtamal. That said, that they hand make their tortillas to order is really cool...
Thanks, J.Sexton, it sounds like a place I'm going to have to get myself to.
I wonder how the Red (can't remember the rest of the name!) place, Thai restaurant on the other side of Main St., is doing?
Sunset Grille has a masa tasting platter that is fun, and so good with the pomegranate martini.
Scott...you have a gem in Don Emilio, as you know.
By the way, Mr. dolores brings home three pops from Paleteria Michoacano on Union Ave. every night. I'm on number 12. Nice of him, no?
Finally got to Little Mexican Cafe today....awwwww, last I was there, it was Soo Chow! Dang, I miss the old New Rochelle.
But the tacos al pastor are everything you all said they were. I had the pork, Mr. dolores had the skirt steak and we shared. Delicious and the pork was just a little spicy.
I asked for whatever extra hot spicy sauce was kept in the kitchen for the tortilla chips. It was very tasty and unique, but not mouth burning hot.
We didn't have dessert, but I was told there is a variation on sopapillas with a sugared dough square, mashed bananas, honey and vanilla ice cream. Yum. Next time.
Oh and even though it was lunchtime, I had to try the margarita. Very good.
All in all, a very nice experience. Service was perfect, and I would go back in a minute. Thank you all for the pointer.
Oh, and where WAS everyone, the place was empty! Good. They were all shopping and I was muching happily.
re: dolores
hi dolores. Did they have the spit going when you were in there? I've been a few times, and only noticed the spit up once. If it was, what time was it? I'm trying to figure out what times they have the spit going and what times they don't...
I'm sorry to say I didn't notice, adamclyde. We went in the back way, from the parking lot, and I didn't even go into the front area.
It was also quite early, 11:45am perhaps, they were just opening. So no, I didn't notice the spit.
IF I had remembered about the spit, I would have asked. Next time.
By the way, the leftovers even reheated well last night. This is definitely a must visit place for all chowhounds.
Went back last night with friends, and met the manager Tito. Very nice guy, and he explained the history of the place. I guess time flies when one is ranting about the lack of stores in downtown New Rochelle because he said they'd been there for 16 years!
Said they have been in the front for that long,but then bought the back seating area from the Soo Chow folks.
Terrible of me, but I can't remember the name of one dish a friend had, steak with triangles of cheese under it. Another had fajitas, and I had tacos al pastor again. All were good.
We also at the table had guacamole and black bean soup, equally delicious.
But for dessert, we had one of the best fried ice creams I have ever had.
A shoutout to Tito for extremely warm, gracious service. Apparently LMC is getting written up in quite a few places, and they deserve it.
Oh, and it seems Don Emilio has left Sunset Grille! Perhaps he can go work at LMC?
Gracias, Tito.
Just went to LMC for the first time on Saturday late afternoon. We had tacos al pastor - definitely real deal akin to the best I've had in Mexico D.F.. Perfectly marinated, slightly crispy, a little fatty - full of flavor. We ate in the more "formal" dining room and didn't see the spit but can tell they definitely had one.
The pozole was delicious and I can't wait to get more. Sopes were okay but not special as was the charro platter. Rice and beans that came with were flavorful.
Excellent service - attentive, friendly and accommodating. Made special tacos for our six year old, a child-like concoction of tortilla, ground beef and yellow cheese which ended up being, bizarrely, extremely tasty in itself. Will definitely go back.
re: laylag
this place is very good. next time I go, though, I need to look at some of the other meals... maybe those on special that night. If they do certain things well, let's hope they'll do many of the things well. I just need to get back...
I knew I needed to visit here before I went back, recently, but didn't. And so missed out on the pozole, although it wouldn't have been available on a Friday?
At any rate, yes this place is top notch, Tito is hands on in his gracious service, which I have come to expect in good restaurants, whether they charge $100. a person or $30. Thus, Gina Marie is my nemesis and I hope to see them close.
laylag, I couldn't remember the name of 'tacos al pastor' and walked to the front, trying to explain in my high school Spanish to the waitress what I was talking about. When I saw the spit I lit up and she immediately understood and gave me the dish I was talking about. It was good even reheated two days later.
I decry any restaurant that doesn't live up to the standards set by a restaurant such as this. I don't want tiny, fancy food. I want very good food at a decent price, whether it's American, Chinese or Mexican.
Since Tito asked me if I would give his place a good write up here on chowhound, I hope he is reading here.
Again, Gracias Tito. Yo era la femina con la voca grande!
re: dolores
Dolores, Do you mean to tell Tito that you are the lady with the loud voice?
LOL, oh yes. He got a kick out of my verbosity after just one margarita! He liked that our table was having such a good time.
I had an equally good relationship with Don Emilio at Sunset Grille. I am saddened that he has now left there. It won't be the same without him.
In retrospect, I guess I expect good food AND good service when I plunk down my money at a restaurant. And, I don't think it's too much to ask.
Thanks, laylag, guess my high school Spanish isn't that rusty after all! Actually, I meant to say 'big mouth'!

Alleged gang leader's plea deal falls apartBy Eric Blaisdell
STAFF WRITER | March 31,2014BARRE A potential plea deal for the alleged ringleader of a Barre gang fell apart Thursday, although the accused sounded like he actually wanted the deal.
James A. Manning, 22, aka Rabbit, of Barre, in Washington County criminal court is facing two counts of felonious sexual assault on a victim under 16 and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful mischief for allegedly sexually assaulting his underage followers. He is also facing four counts of felonious sexual assault on a victim under 16 for allegedly having a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old girl.
In Rutland County, Manning is facing a felony charge of repeated aggravated sexual assault that stems from allegations he sexually assaulted a teenage boy in Rutland in 2012.
Manning was scheduled for a change of plea hearing on the Barre charges Thursday, but his lawyer, James Lamonda, said unfortunately, we have no plea.
The details of the potential agreement werent discussed in court, and Deputy States Attorney Megan Campbell said the offer was no longer on the table. The case was set for trial in June.
Before the hearing was over, Manning said, I would like to go with the plea deal, but it seems to me thats changed.
Judge Thomas Zonay told Manning that issue was between his attorney and the state. Lamonda told Manning he would be in touch about the case.
According to the police affidavit on the alleged gang activity, Manning was in charge of a group called the Brotherhood Mafia that was formed in Burlington before moving to Rutland and then Barre. Police said a 15-year-old member of the group saw Manning sexually assault a 14-year-old boy as a form of initiation into the gang.
Police said the member told them the group was responsible for fires at St. Monica School and a Third Street garage. According to the affidavit, the Barre City Fire Department responded to those two fires and the school was left with black marks on the side of the building, while the garage was a total loss.
Manning denied sexually assaulting the 14-year-old boy, police said, but did admit having oral sex with the boy twice. He also admitted he had oral sex with the 15-year-old witness twice, sex with a 14-year-old girl once, and oral sex with another 14-year-old boy once, but Manning claimed all the acts were consensual, according to records.
In the charges involving the girl, police said she told them she and Manning had intercourse three times and oral sex plenty of times over a period of two months, from November 2012 to January 2013.
As for the Rutland charge, police said the teenager, who was 14 at the time, told them he was involved in a sexual relationship with Manning that started in February 2012. During that time, Manning allegedly traveled to Rutland and stayed at a local inn, where the alleged assaults took place.
Manning is being held at the St. Johnsbury prison on $75,000 bail.MORE IN This Just InSki area operators in Vermont and across northern New England were giddy Wednesday at the...

Giants' Free Agent Wish List: Tight Ends
With a great deal of free agents, the Giants are looking for some new talent to help them as they…
|Ravens Faced Many Obstacles On Way
Dennis Pitta (USATSports)
The Baltimore Ravens had plenty of hurdles to overcome to reach Championship game.
Ravens faced obstacles in return to AFC title game
OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens overcame an assortment of injuries and obstacles to return to the AFC championship game, one victory from reaching the Super Bowl.
Their usually stout defense was besieged by a season-long string of setbacks.
Thirteen players with starting experience were sidelined during the regular season, including linebackers Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs, cornerback Lardarius Webb and tackle Haloti Ngata. Two dozen different defensive players received at least one start, but only two — safety Ed Reed and cornerback Cary Williams — started all 16 games.
The offense had its issues, too.
Frustrated with the unit's struggle during a December swoon, coach John Harbaugh fired offensive coordinator Cam Cameron and handed the reins to quarterbacks coach jim caldwell.
Baltimore secured its second straight AFC North crown despite losing four of its last five regular-season games. Unlike last year, however, there was no first-round bye. Yet the Ravens defeated the Indianapolis Colts in the playoff opener before eliminating the top-seeded Denver Broncos last weekend to earn another shot at New England in the AFC title game Sunday night.
"I don't think a lot of people expected us to be here," Ngata said. "For us to overcome a lot of things, everything that has happened with our team, I think we all just understand that we're a family here, and we can lean on each other and depend on each other."
Not long after their season-ending 23-20 loss to New England last January, the Ravens began to realize this team would be radically different. Defensive coordinator Chuck Pagano accepted the job as head coach at Indianapolis, and three key starters left as free agents: linebacker Jarret Johnson, guard Ben Grubbs and defensive end Cory Redding.
Soon after that, the troubling offseason continued with another devastating blow: Suggs, the 2012 AP Defensive Player of the Year, tore his right Achilles tendon in early May.
In spite of it all, the Ravens won five of their first six games. But in a 31-29 victory over Dallas on Oct. 14, Lewis tore his right triceps and Webb ripped the ACL in his left knee and was placed on injured reserve.
Suggs made his season debut the following week, but the five-time Pro Bowl star missed two games in December with a torn right biceps and is still seeking to regain the form he displayed last year. Guard Marshal Yanda also sat out two games with a sprained ankle and safety Bernard Pollard was sidelined for three straight weeks with a chest injury.
And still, the Ravens pressed on.
"I think that we are battled-tested," Yanda said. "We went through a lot of injuries. We went through line shuffles. We went through losses. We went through losing streaks, and every team goes through that during the year. It's all about just battling through it and trying to get hot and trying to play your best football at the end of the year. I think we're doing that. We are just going to have to do a lot of things to continue to do that come" Sunday.
Judging by their performance in last Saturday's 38-35 double-overtime win over the Broncos, the Ravens appear to be hitting peak form. Lewis returned from a 10-game absence to lead the team in tackles against both the Colts and Broncos, and his teammates appear to have drawn strength from the ups and downs they've encountered over the past five months.
"A lot of teams go through a lot of things," Harbaugh said. "There are challenges that get you to the point that you are at as a football team and make you who you are — even as a person. And, our guys have handled all those things extremely well. Individually and collectively, a lot of our guys have come out of it stronger and better men, and we're a stronger and better team."
Tight end Dennis Pitta broke his right hand in practice in late July and received a concussion in November. But Pitta hasn't missed a game yet, and now he and the Ravens are eager to keep the season going with a win in New England.
"It's not easy being back in this position," Pitta said. "We've had a lot of highs and lows this season. We had a three-game losing streak when nobody thought we would win another game. We've battled and we've been through a lot, and I think it's better prepared us for this point now. We're excited to be in this game and to be able to get a rematch with these guys."

Love everything about this stuff. Smells so good, just like true lemon and not plasticy like some of the others. As far as the formula, it melts right into my lips and moistures well without leaving a waxy residue. Love that it has SPF too.
This doesn't make my lips ultra soft like my Nivea Kiss of Moisture. What I do love is how the ball rolls around my lips. The application goes on like perfection! So innovative! I wish cosmetic companies would come up with new packing that is sleek, modern, and fun like this one. It does make for a nice base for lipsticks. I do find it a tad drying in the long run. It's okay, but not great. It was fun to try one time. I won't buy more in future. I will stick to Nivea
The package is cute, but its so annoying that you cannot use all of the product, since it falls through the holes in the bottom, and you cannot get is out.
It dint make my lips dry, but I didn't really feel that it moisturized them eighter.
The smell is awesome. Its smells like the FOX- candy, and it tastes like it too!
I also like that it has SPF, even tough i would wish it could have been higher protection.
I like the smell and the fact that it has spf but the formula is different from the other spheres. It's lighter and slicker. Great for applying but it doesn't last long.
I love the smell, and the lip balm itself is amazing.
More reviews by just_a_small_town_girl
I got a set of 3 of these for Christmas and bought a 4th flavor on my own. This one is by far my favorite! Super soft, easy to apply, great scent. Couldn't ask for more!
yay! I love this! Not the most moisturizing but my lips aren't dry. I would straight up buy this just for the scent. It's such a true lemon scent omg. yum. It's so easy to apply, and I have this one, the summer fruit one, and the orange tangerine one and this one is the smoothest and creamiest.
Once again I've fallen for gimmicky packaging. The product is a decent lip balm -- feels good going on, smells good and lasts. The only thing I wonder about is how the product is going to "wear down" as I use it -- I'm afraid I'm going to end up with a shape that will make application difficult. The way I'm currently applying it, I think the product will end up flat after awhile. This is one balm you can't stick in your back pocket! It's okay, but I still keep going back to Strawberry or Cherry Chapstick.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
My first impression of this product was "cute!!!". So I really wanted to love this product. I gave it a fair week of use as I did for all other products, and it did nothing but dry my lips out.
I was only impressed with the SPF 15 (which doesn't seem that uncommon in lip balms nowadays anyway), but not at all with its function. When I applied it for the first time, it would not glide on smoothly like your average lip balm. It felt like there were tiny grainy particles. Huge turn off. I thought heck, if it works, I'm not going to complain.
Well, it didn't. It would sit on my lips like a layer of film that never seemed to absorb. Instead, my lips would feel really irritated, so I would keep biting it, licking it, touching it, and just anything to get rid of the feeling that there's something sitting on my lips.
Tossed it out and will not be purchasing, again. Still searching for a stick alternative of my favorite Blistex's DCT pot, which I'm trying to find an alternative of since I find it really non-hygenic!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
i love this product! it is the only lip balm product i use. i like it much better than chapstick. the packaging is adorable & so unique. the taste is fresh & lively, as the smell is. it runs about $3 at walmart, which is where i purchased mine. this is the first flavor i purchased & i'm just about ready to finish off my first sphere, but i have already purchased my second of this flavor as well as the summer fruit flavor. the only downside to it whatsoever is the fact that it is semi-difficult to find. but i would recommend this product without a doubt. it's my go-to lip product of all time.

Lehigh Pub Bethlehem news item
- g
- givemecarbs Nov 19, 2009 01:58 PM
Wow talk about some bad publicity? Did anyone see how the couple were arrested for not paying the tip?
Wow, there's no way that's going to end well for the pub. Technically, the gratuity is part of the bill, so legally the customers were in the wrong, but it is an epic failure of hospitality on the restaurant's part, and the negative press is going to cost them a hell of a lot more than 18% of $72.
re: JohnnyKBar
My thoughts exactly. What were the staff thinking?
re: JohnnyKBar
Just putting something on the bill doesn't obligate anyone to pay for something. There's an implied contact in retail transactions that says the merchant has to provide the goods or services being charged for.
A restaurant can't legally force you to pay for food they failed to deliver to the table and they can't force you to pay for horrible service. If they're going to charge 18% for service, they have to provide an acceptable level of service. Not bringing the food for over an hour, not delivering the beverages with the patrons having to traipse to the bar to get their own, and not providing silverware and napkins clearly demonstrate the service was horrible. They can't collect a gratuity just because the patrons sat at a table.
What I don't understand is why the police arrested them. They paid the bill for the food, which the manager claims he offered to comp. If the meal was comped, ergo they actually paid a $73 tip for what could arguably be described as the worst service experience you can have in a restaurant. Seriously, you don't even give them silverware and napkins and you expect them to tip you? Please. If I was the owner, I'd go ahead and close and move far, far away from this hot mess the staff created.
re: Dewgrl
I was thinking that too Dewgrl. Links to news articles have a way of disappearing fast, yet it is against chowhound policy to cut them and paste them in full. Here is what the police said about the situation though: "Obviously we would have liked for the patron and the establishment to have worked this out without getting the police involved," said Deputy Police Commissioner Stuart Bedics.
What is interesting in all this is that the tip the Lehigh Pub was trying to charge appears to be 22%, not 18%. Maybe the waitress should have been arrested, too, for attempted theft of monies. Possibly the waitress was trying to have her tip calculated on the total for the meals plus the tax.
re: fsguy78
Rachael Ray is simply wrong. You tip for drinks (including wine) AND for food (would you stiff your bartender? Of course not.). Tipping pre or post-tax is up to the guest but, believe it or not, more people seem to tip post-tax than pre-tax. Most restaurants calculate service charges on pre-tax.
This is in the news all over the USA! I worked once for a jerk who would confront customers over small issues. He's tried to open other restaurants and all have flopped. An arrest record is no small issue. I hope they sue and get a big settlement. The manager needs to get a job in a non-service industry.
I whole heartedly agree with the manager having this couple arrested ! It's high time people realize the customer isn't always right ! They agreed to the party charge by choosing that restaurant and ordering within a party of 8 people. They were required to pay NOT only for the waiters supposed bad service, but the kitchen that served they're food. The bartender who served they're drinks, why should they be jipped out of their tip share? The busboy that set up, maintained and cleaned up after 8 people? Why should his tip share be without? They STOLE from those people essentially by NOT tipping the "supposed" bad server and subsequently were arrested for thus!
re: brownbabygyrl
brownbabygyrl, I don't think anyone is disputing the fact that the party entered into a contract of sorts by sitting down and ordering food. The issue is that the response of the manager to have them arrested, whether it has a legal basis or not (I am not a lawyer), is very poor customer service, tarnishes the name of the restaurant, and was all around a foolish move over a small amount of money. If the manager had handled the issue professionally there would be no news story, no bad press, and the customers may have even come back to the restaurant in the future.
re: brownbabygyrl
Did you read the story? "The busboy that set up, maintained.." - they had no silverware or napkins, and had to go get them on their own. The manager admitted they had received bad service, so there's no "supposed" about it. "The kitchen that served they're (sic) food" - 1) the kitchen staff doesn't serve it, they cook it, and 2) they did a lousy job of that as well.
This couple was failed all around by every part of the establishment - servers, busboys, kitchen staff, and management - and I think they were wholly justified in not paying the tip. I don't have an objection to mandatory service charges per se, but I think it should be on an "all or nothing" basis, and the wait staff should know this. I've seen too many cases, working in the industry, where a "mandatory gratuity" is a license to give the table the worst possible service, knowing the tip is guaranteed.
Oh, and do try to learn the difference between "their", "they're", and "there", will you?
re: brownbabygyrl
Couldn't you also say the the restaurant was steeling from the customers by charging them for services that they did not receive?
re: brownbabygyrl
There is definitely an implied contract when ordering food in a restaurant as when transacting any business with a merchant. However, no merchant can legally collect money for goods or services that were not provided. The implied contract here is that for an 18% gratuity, a reasonably acceptable level of service would be provided. That did not happen here.
Stealing? Absolutely not. They paid for their food and their beverages and the applicable taxes. Had the service been decent, the restaurant would have a right to collect the 18% gratuity, but they failed to provide acceptable service.
If you ordered a $10 hamburger and the restaurant never brought you the hamburger but still charged for it on the bill, not paying for the hamburger would not be stealing.
As to "gypping" the bartender, busboy and ktichen staff, no patron is obligated to tip for awful service and the service was awful in this case. I agree that customers are not always right, but in this case they definitely were and the restaurant was beyond wrong.
No court of law will side with the restaurant when it comes to charging for service when the service was way below the minimum acceptable level in the mind of a judge or jury.
Most smart restaurants that do have this automatic gratutity for large parties will lift it
if the customer feels that it is unjust ...(like in this case)
I saw it on the news tonight...
the food server was outside SMOKING, but apparently had no replacement during their absence.... very uncalled for!
re: ellen4441
@Ellen by law you have to take a break of 30 min, so in a resaurant it's usually split up into multiple 5 min.smoke breaks. Obviously you can't be gone for 30 min. from your tables.
re: brownbabygyrl
I do not believe the law allows the rquired 30 minute unpaid break to be taken in six five-minute intervals. Most restaurants have the staff take this break on an off-hour, not peak meal periods. And, the waitress/waiter makes arrangements for coverage. Maybe the Lehigh Pub has legal problems, too. I mention this as brownbabygyrl appears to be part of the ownership or management of this place.
Steve Dublanica's (the infamous "WAITER" of the "Water Rant" blog and book):
Just a heads up (heads-up? heads' up?) that there is another, slightly longer, thread on this subject at http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/668535 (although both threads are interesting).
re: blackoak
Sorry about the two threads thing. This one was originally posted on the Penna boards by me to get the local take on things. We PAers are an independent lot it seems. No one tells us what to do. Also on the Penna boards is a very civil discussion about whether to tip or not at this new pub that has a no tipping policy. The pub is inside the new Collegeville Wegman's, not terribly far from Bethlehem, and it seems that most people are tipping despite the policy. I haven't been to the Wegman's pub yet but I think that we long suffering PAers are feeling blissed out by finally being able to get us some beer in a supermarket.
re: givemecarbs
Philadelphia is consistently recognized as the best tipping city in the US by Zagat (FTR, Bethlehem is not the Phila metro area).
A lot of people seem to have missed the point is that there are two sides in an implied contract with a merchant. When a merchant charges for goods or services, he or she has to provide those goods or services. Otherwise, the purchaser cannot be made to pay for them.
If a restaurant wants to disclose on its menu that 18% will charged as a gratuity for all parties of six or more, fine, but that doesn't allow the restaurant to fail to provide at least average service to the patrons.
In this case, the service was egregiously bad and the restaurant failed to provide a reasonably adequate level of service to the customers. They really needed to take that charge of the bill given the lack of service, but refused to do it. Further, the patrons paid for the food, beverages and taxes on the bill, so they simply refuse to pay for something they didn't get.
It's really no different than if they'd ordered a food item that never was brought to the table, yet appeared on the bill when presented.
The police were totally out of line here. They would never have arrested the couple if they refused to pay for a food item on the bill that they never received.
Assuming the defendants' attorney files a motion for summary judgment, I predict the charges will be dismissed at the first court appearance.
At that point, I can only hope the defendants will sue both the restaurants and the police for the injustice they experienced. Being arrested, booked and jailed is a horrible thing to experience when you've done nothing wrong. They should be compensated for that experience and I think punitive or exemplary damages would be appropriate, too.
You don't give people horrendously bad restaurant service and then have them jailed because they object to paying for atrocious service. If the food and beverages and taxes were paid, the restaurant wouldn't have been out any money. The waiter or waitress would have been out the money, but he or she didn't deserve a tip in this case.
re: toddabearsf
Were they actually booked and jailed? The report I read just said they were cuffed and placed in the squad car, but nothing more. Bad enough at that, but did they really suffer the indignity of spending time behind bars?
re: FrankD
Looks like the charges are expected to be dropped. Here is the latest on this story:
A lot more facts have come to light in this news article. Apparently the couple was taken to the police station in separate police cars. Doesn't say anything about jail time. It does say "Then, without issuing any warning about getting the police, the manager walked out and got an officer at a nearby intersection, Pope said."
re: Chickarecheap
What does splitting the bill have to do with poor service? My understanding is that this group was composed of eight individuals. No one was going to pick up the check for the party of eight. People go out for lunch from work or just get together as friends all the time and split the bill. Some restaurants are even accommodating and provide separate checks, though most do not.
More relevant is that the waitress was taking a five-minute smoke break as several posters have pointed out. The problem is -- where was she the rest of the hour+?
