Greed is the spur

A Budapest restaurant which charged two Danish tourists and two women companions more than $6,000 (pounds 3,750) for dinner and drinks may be fined, city officials said. Authorities said they had begun legal proceedings. Newspapers said the Dreher Halaszcsarda had a policy of multiplying listed prices by a factor of 10 after 7 pm. "We charge what the market will bear," the restaurant's business manager said. Reuters - Budapest
