If the amount at issue is worth it to you, you can sue in court to enforce your oral contract.  The amount at issue is probably small enough that you can sue in small claims court.  If you have already paid the money, you can sue for a refund (although you may have already forfeited your rights by paying).  If not, you can seek a declaratory judgment that you owe only $22 per plate, not $26.
