Question

To raise revenues, the City of St. Cloud required restaurants to purchase a special permit if they wanted to serve food in an open-air patio. While at Hola Taco, a restaurant in St. Cloud, a customer notices that Hola Taco’s permit expired. Consequently, the customer refused to pay for her food. Because Hola’s Taco’s permit expired, the customer is not legally required to pay for her food.
a) true
b) false

Answer 1

Answer: B. False

Explanation: Even when Hola's Taco's permit has expired a customer does not have the right to refused payment for consuming its goods and services. It is only the authority, a constituted body that regulate and grant permit can sanction Hola's Taco.

So therefore, the customer is legally required to pay for his food, even though Hola's Taco have expired permit.
