My husband and I stayed in Frankfurt for two nights in January. This was the first time we were in Frankfurt, we had a pretty bad impression on this city because of the dinning experience. We arrived in Frankfurt Hauptbahnhof (HBF) train station on the night of Jan27, 08 since the hotel (Hotel National)we stayed was very closed to this training station. We stopped at a Chinese Restaurant called Asia Gourmet in the Train Station for a quick bite before we headed to hotel. The cashier was rude and refused to give us the receipt after I paid him cash. He still told me no receipt when I ased the second time for one. Honestly I was in a shock. I never heard and had experience that restaurant has no receipts for customer, at least it never happened in US. I almost called police, we was just wondering how he get away from it for doing such a thing. Did he pay taxes at all? Our hotel stay was wonderful, but dinning experience was horrible because of this bad apple.

The money you paid to the cashier was pure profit, straight in his pocket. In Ialy, if the finance police catch-up on this, You could be be fined or worse!

I%26#39;m sorry you had this bad experience. Actually rule of thumb should be that when you%26#39;re in a city you%26#39;ve never been before and looking for a restaurant at least ask your hotel staff or any local. But never just eat at the train stations unless you%26#39;re looking for some kind of sandwich or fast food...
There would have been great and friendly restaurants of all kinds just one block South of the Hauptbahnhof: A great Persian restaurant, a great Mongolian BBQ, a great German/French style restaurant and many more...

I%26#39;m sorry, but why is the fact that the restaurant wouldn%26#39;t give you a receipt such a big deal?? Was the food ok? If yes, then you got what you wanted. If not, a receipt wouldn%26#39;t remedy the situation.
Sorry, but I don%26#39;t get the point. You say you paid cash - then why was a receipt necessary?
