Having started the “change” part of this thread, (and the digressions into plate removal, et al. are the reason chowhound is the great site it is), I will make the point again that it doesn’t take any more...

$.11 is not something you should spend your energy writing a letter over. Take it up with Amex if you must or don’t ever patronize that establishment ever again. My bigger issue with your post is that you left just $3.89 on...
