One evening hubby was at a KFC when a man came in ordered simply then took out all change to pay and was short. It was 10 mins to closing time but they wouldn't give the man what he ordered. Hubby paid for him then asked what KFC did with all the chicken in the case. "We throw it out" was the reply!

Alas, the issue with that is that if someone DOES get sick from it, it encourages lawsuits....at least here in the US. Not sure what laws are like in France.

I don't want to get in an argument about this but over the years I have observed a lot of regulations / laws are not followed in St Martin like they should be.I know you have been going to St Martin for a long time and can probably show me more instances of this oversight than I can.
