A renowned barbecue pork restaurant is seeking ten well-dressed customers who dined and dashed, leaving a bill worth over 4,000 baht unpaid. The establishment has given a three-day deadline for the culprits to come forward before legal action is taken. This incident occurred at the famed Warehouse Seafood Grill Buffet in Ubon Ratchathani on October 30.

 

The barbecue pork restaurant reported that the customers arrived around 6pm, with three individuals initially entering and notifying the staff that they were a party of ten. The group included approximately two to three foreigners, prompting the restaurant to set up three tables for them.

 

The customers trickled in until the party was complete, and they asked the restaurant to buy a bottle of liquor and soda for them. From 7pm to 8pm, the customers ate, drank, and socialized as normal. Around six customers who had finished their meals left the barbecue pork restaurant between approximately 8pm and 8.30pm. The remaining four adults, all well-dressed individuals estimated to be between 40 to 50 years old, continued to drink at the table.

 

As other tables began to settle their bills, the staff were occupied at the counter and cleaning tables. When the staff went to check on the table of four, they had already left. The barbecue pork restaurant staff assumed the customers had already paid and proceeded to clean their table. It was only when they checked after the customers had left that they realised the bill had not been paid.

 

The barbecue pork restaurant is a small establishment with a limited number of staff who are responsible for taking care of all customers. The unpaid bill was discovered during a busy period when several customers were settling their bills and leaving the restaurant at the same time.

It says Barbecue Pork restaurant FIVE times, and the name is Warehouse Seafood Grill Buffet.

 

In the previous report a couple of days ago, it told what dishes they had ordered, lobsters etc etc, and what type of car they left in. Nothing about the extra guests.

 

Obviously they shouldn't do that. But I always thought it's the job of the staff to keep an overview.

10 people just walking away and nobody notice it until later sounds a little strange.

As the posts say's, limited staff, covering all tables, customers needs and service... 

either the party thought that others had settled the bill and it was a mis-understanding

or it was a well planned theft.

 

Lobster x 10 =4000?
