Lady Customer Puts Own Hair to Food to Get Refund
ENGLAND – A lady customer and her colleague resorted to a cunning scheme to avoid paying for their meal worth £12.95 or more than P800.
In the CCTV footage, a female customer and her colleague can be seen entering a restaurant in Blackburn, England. The two were suspiciously talking before entering the establishment.
It seems that the duo were already planning for their strategy to avoid paying the bill. Shortly after, the woman pulled a strand of her hair and placed it in the leftover food of her companion.
Tom Croft, the owner of the restaurant, revealed that the woman caused a scene, leading them to waive the payment for the troublesome pair. He decided to review the security camera footage to understand where their staff might have gone wrong in preparing the food.
“I was disgusted and very angry. We’ve not had anything happen like this before, “There are people out there that are willing to put a business’ reputation and staff’s job at risks for a £12.95 meal.” Croft reiterated.
Croft takes pride in his restaurant’s 5-star rating for cleanliness and food safety, a reputation they have upheld for five years. The incident has led him to share the experience on the restaurant’s social media page as a warning to other establishments.
The owner stressed the arrogance of some people who are willing to harm a company’s image and the jobs of its employees for a modest lunch. The restaurant owner used social media to warn other businesses and raise awareness about such fraudulent practices.
The incident may serve as a reminder to food businesses to remain vigilant to avoid falling to dishonest individuals trying to destroy their reputations.
