The man working behind the window at the Crown Plaza beverage kiosk (not the resturant next door) tried charging us 50JD ($70) for 2 Fanta, 2 small Perriers, 2 local beers, a small Pringles, and a tin of mixed nuts. When we pointed out it there must be some mistake and started adding the costs based on the menu, another of his colleagues came out to defend him and said it was because we hadn't added the 17% taxes. When we demanded that they provide us a bill - the total came to substantially less and jived with the prices on the menu + 17% tax - 35JD, NOT 50JD.
We've been going to Petra for the last 2 years and often stop at the the restaurant next door - also Crown Plaza - and have had nothing buy exceptional sevice. Too bad a few bad apples (who obviously didn't realize we've been living in Jordan for some years) don't mind risking a good business's reputation for their own expense.
