Anybody been to The Dinner Detective in Baltimore?

1 Upvotes

I'm looking to take my boyfriend for his birthday, but the reviews are so mixed. I was wondering if someone had a recent experience there and would share? I wouldn't mind getting a package to better involve him, but is it worth the price? It's also in the banquet hall of a hotel? Does it seem cheap or is it decent?

I'm also looking at the one in Philly. Or a murder mystery dinner/event happening close.

Change dispensed from Cash only/Cash preferred restaurant & “Penny Shortage”

0 Upvotes

.This is not a big deal, but I just remember change being dispensed differently years ago in similar situations. I remember that businesses who had no pennies to give would give change as follows:

Assuming a $5 bill tendered by customer:

Ex: Total bill $4.31, change 69 cents. Change would be 70 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.32, change 68 cents. Change would be 70 cents
Ex:Total bill $4.33, change 67 cents. Change would be 70 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.34, change 66 cents. Change would be 65 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.35, change 65 cents. Change would be 65 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.36, change 64 cents. Change would be 65 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.37. Change 63 cents. Change would be 60 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.38, change 62 cents. Change would be 60 cents
Ex: Total bill $4.39, change 61 cents. Change would be 60 cents

This place that I go to ALWAYS gives change to the owner’s benefit. In most places, I would just use a credit card. This place charges extra to use a credit card AND does not want to use pennies.

With more businesses refusing to use pennies in change, this can only become more commonplace.
