The restaurant pointed out that the cake was small and required extra effort to be cut into 10 slices, which took the waitress 25 minutes.
Several recent stories of cafes and restaurants levying extra charges for minimal services have gone viral. In a similar incident, a diner at a restaurant in Italy was left shocked after he was charged 15 euros (approximately Rs 1,331) to have a store-bought cake cut and served to his nine guests, the New York Post reported.
As per the report, Fabio Bregolato went to an unidentified pizzeria in Pino Torinese to celebrate a birthday with his loved ones. Since the restaurant didn't offer desserts on its menu, the group decided to bring their own cake. However, they were shocked when the bill arrived, showing a charge for cutting the cake.
''There were 10 of us, excellent pizza, and the service was well done, but… EUR 15 to cut a cake we brought ourselves was quite a style faux pas,'' Mr. Bregolato wrote along with a photo of the receipt.
