more likely, if it's worth 4 hours of the server's salary ... then it's overpriced.

Then again, the "wasted food" probably was eaten by the "server" and cook(s) ... generally, if a place gets "stiffed" by the "patron", the place would likely take action against the "patron". In this case, the patrons didn't just walk out without warning, they left after canceling. Likely, they didn't get the prep past the soup or salad portion.
