a lamb?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Who cut it?
>> They did.
>> Judge Judy: Cut by the staff.
Now we're down to --
We've gone
through one, two, three.
We're down to number four.
"Drinks station --
provided by client.
Open throughout
the entire event.
Includes beer, wine,
soft drinks,
served by Red Rose staff."
Did you provide a bartender?
>> Yes, Your Honor.
>> No.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
They say you did not provide.
Who tended bar?
>> I did, Your Honor.
>> Judge Judy: Great.
They did not
provide a bartender.
Okay. And you say that --
There's a part here
about leftovers,
that they were supposed
to provide special request.
Who was supposed to provide
the containers
for the leftovers?
>> We were, and we did.
>> Judge Judy: Did you?
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: Okay.
And you say,
"There were no leftovers."
>> There was two containers
of a little bit
of sauce in each one.
There were no leftovers.
>> And all the Tupperware
were gone.
>> Judge Judy: Shh.
So there were two containers
of leftovers,
and the other containers
that you brought were gone,
indicating --
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: You don't have
to be a sleuth to say,
"Somebody else took home
some of the leftovers."
>> Yes.
>> Judge Judy: You don't know
whether it was them
or one of your 160 guests.
>> We know it wasn't our guests.
>> Judge Judy: Right.
You don't know.
>> No. They were gone before the
end of the wedding.
>> Judge Judy: You don't know
if it was them or --
Put your --
Don't interrupt me.
You know, your problem,
Ms. Harper,
is so far you're not losing,
and you keep wanting
to interrupt because so far
I don't think that they have
a claim for anything
other than to say
the next time they want to do
a wedding, somebody says,
"Did you like yours?"
they would say, "I really
wasn't satisfied."
They can say that.
They can say they weren't
satisfied,
but so far they got an awful lot
of value for $7,000.
160 guests were fed for $7,000.
That's a lot of food.
>> They originally told us
$29 a person.
>> The problem was that the food
came so late that people were
drunk, weren't able to eat,
and we never got the appetizers
that she said we were
going to get.
The appetizers were served
with dinner instead of
before the meal.
>> Judge Judy: Fine. Very good.
It's worth you saying, "I wasn't
satisfied with your service."
You had a wedding.
The wedding is done.
I've been to some weddings
that were terrific,
and I've been to some weddings
that weren't terrific,
and I've been to some weddings
where the steak
was cooked like leather.
I said, "Oh, my God.
This is awful,"
and I'm sure that the people
who paid thousands of dollars
for the wedding were furious
when they cut into the steak
and the steak was well-done,
charred, through and through.
They paid for it.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: They paid for it.
>> What we don't want to pay for
is the service because we don't
feel that we got service.
>> Judge Judy: I don't care
what your feelings are.
Where do you come from?
>> From San Francisco.
>> Judge Judy: From
San Francisco.
They care a lot in San Francisco
about feelings.
[ Laughter ]
I, on the other hand,
deal with practicality.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: Practicality is
the bride wasn't satisfied
with the wedding,
and she'll never have to think
about using another caterer
again, hopefully.
She wasn't happy with
this caterer, and you weren't
happy with the service.
Was it sufficient service?
She brought four people.
>> She --
>> Judge Judy: You just told me
she brought four people.
>> But they didn't do --
They were sitting in the back
skewing skewers, not coming
to the tables whatsoever.
>> Judge Judy: We're done.
I'm done with you.
>> Wait.
>> Judge Judy: You're not
getting it.
You're not getting it.
You're not getting
any money back.
>> Can I just bring
one more thing up?
>> Judge Judy: Sure.
>> Because if you notice
on the contact,
it says $5,000 was the price,
and the reason that it went up
is that she sent an e-mail here
saying that she would like
to have an atmosphere with the
appetizers and a live barbecue
so that when the guests arrived,
they would have this barbecue
with appetizers walking around,
and that entire thing
didn't happen,
but it did add to the cost --
>> $400 and --
>> Judge Judy: Also added to
the cost was the fact
that it called for 120 people.
You had 160.
>> We paid for the extra.
>> We paid those, too.
>> Judge Judy: Well, just a
second.
Originally, it was $5,000
for 120 people.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: How much money
did you pay for the extra
40 people?
>> $2,633.36.
>> Judge Judy: Right,
for an extra...
>> 40 people.
>> Judge Judy: ...40 people.
>> Right.
>> Judge Judy: Bargain.
