Many years back, when we lived in northern Colorado, there was a new French restaurant a few miles south of us. It was authentic; the owners came there direct from Paris. The food and service was to be the same as in France, even if that wasn't exactly what the customer wanted.
One night, a doctor and wife were seated. The doctor asked for a cup of coffee right after he sat down. What and outrage! The owner refused. The doctor got testy, and the owner told them to leave.
The doctor took it to court, saying that he should have gotten his cup of coffee and that throwing them out was demeaning. The owner's defense was that he owned a French restaurant where coffee only comes after the meal.
The judge ruled in favor of the doctor and access the damages to the owner--the cost of a cup of coffee.
