Despite being one of the most memorable holidays of the year, Mother’s Day can be quite the experience for many of us. Besides fighting for a table at a restaurant and organizing an outing with all the family, you then need to deal with high prices. And while some people are entitled to complain about this date being too expensive, others should’ve known better. This is the case of one customer from Scottsdale, Arizona, who took their mother to an expensive restaurant for brunch. When they tried to complain about the high prices online, they ended up facing backlash as everyone knew this particular restaurant was already expensive.
The Arizona customer shared their story on the Scottsdale Subreddit, posting a receipt from their brunch at a Maple & Ash restaurant. On the receipt, you can clearly see the prices for food, service, and other items, totaling $494.47. Then, in the post, they mentioned, “Went to this rather small Mother’s Day brunch buffet with a pretty limited food selection. Seems pretty steep even for Scottsdale.” They ended the post asking for recommendations for next year.
Normally, people on Reddit would agree with the OP, share a few other spots, and even talk about how expensive restaurants have become lately. However, the opposite happened. Several Redditors instead criticized OP, claiming that Maple & Ash establishments aren’t on the cheaper or more accessible side and that they should’ve known better before going there for brunch.
Redditors Criticize OP For Not Doing Proper Price Research
After seeing the receipt and spotting the restaurant’s name, several Redditors started blaming the OP, essentially claiming they had no right to complain if they were going to this establishment, since, according to some, the restaurant is expensive.
“Bro, you went to Maple and Ash. That’s like lighting money on fire.“
“Maple and Ash is like buying Gucci socks, you are overpaying for just the name, versus you could go to plenty of other places for the same food and better pricing.“
Others claimed that it wasn’t something exclusive to the restaurant, but rather to the holiday and the city.
“Skill issue. You went to a nice restaurant. On Mother’s Day. In Scottsdale.“
In the end, some other Redditors recommended a few other places around Scottsdale, Arizona, for next year and encouraged the OP to do proper research before the holiday, as this can help anyone save some money during this hectic time.
