In a shocking turn of events, a family of eight members left a popular eatery in the UK without paying their hefty bill of 329 pounds (approximately ₹34,000). The incident came to light after Bella Ciao Swansea, the restaurant in question, took to social media to express their dismay.
The eatery posted on Facebook, calling out the family for their actions, stating, “To the family who left the restaurant this evening without paying their £329 bill shame on you!!” The post went on to explain that the lady in the group attempted to pay with a savings account card, which was declined twice. She then left to supposedly get another card, but never returned. The son, who was left behind, received a phone call and promptly fled the scene.
The post garnered a lot of attention online, with many users expressing their outrage and disappointment. One user suggested that restaurants should implement a pay-when-you-order policy to avoid such incidents in the future.
Following the incident, Bella Ciao Swansea filed a complaint with the police against the family. In an update, the restaurant thanked the public for their support and informed that the authorities were aware of the culprits’ identities. They expressed hope that the family would be caught and prevented from repeating such behavior at other establishments.
The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of honesty and integrity in all aspects of life, including dining out.
