Customers dine and dash, leaving Chon Buri restaurateur in a stew (video)

[webfact]

A restaurant owner in Chon Buri province is seeking justice after 20 customers refused to pay a 15,000 baht bill for food and drink. The customers claimed the cuisine was poor despite enjoying the abode’s ambience for over four hours.

 

The restaurant owner, Ancharika, filed a complaint at Bang Lamung Police Station yesterday, February 12. She accused a go-go bar manager in Soi Bua Khao in Pattaya and her team members of refusing to pay for food and drink and threatening to sue her for operating the business without a licence.

 

Ancharika explained that the go-go bar manager booked the restaurant for her birthday party. The woman came with about 20 colleagues. They enjoyed food and alcohol from 4am until 8am and the bill was around 15,000 baht.

 

The go-go bar manager then complained to Ancharika that the food at her restaurant was tasteless and more expensive compared to other places. She also accused her restaurant of slow service. Ancharika said she decided to give the customer a discount of 1,000 baht as way of an apology.

I believe in Karma....

If they're not scamming in the GoGo the go scamming other businesses.

They didn't complain while they were stuffing their faces, did they?

In a way it is somewhat comforting to see they do not only do stuff like this to foreigners.

As Judge Judy says, 'you ate the steak'!

Dine and Dash?

Where was the dash? Thay refused to pay, they did not run.

So after the Go-Go club shut down, they moved to this restaurant and continued scamming!  Is this a job for Pattaya Plod?

[AlexPattaya]

I wonder if this was a Farang doing this instead of Thai! What would happen to that customer?

The go go bar owner is scum

[Gottfrid]

Off course the GoGo bar manager and the other customers should have been paying. Anyway it will be a problem, as this is going to cost much for the restaurant owner as well. Selling alcohol after 04.00 am, is illegal. So, how can you charge somebody for something that you can not legally sell?

Yes, they do. They will still make her pay, as they see an opportunity.
