▲ A Singaporean restaurant that suffered from ‘eat-out’
A company president who had a dinner with his employees at a Singapore restaurant did a so-called ‘eat-and-run’, in which he ran away without paying more than 1 million won for food.
On the 26th local time, foreign media such as Singapore media Mothership reported that 16 people including the president and employees went to a restaurant in Woodlands, northern Singapore on the evening of the 21st without paying 1,188 Singapore dollars (regarding 1.12 million won).
According to the report, at around 7 pm that evening, CEO A visited the restaurant with 15 employees.
They ordered a dinner set for 20 people and 60 skewers, as well as a variety of drinks including cocktails and coconut juice.
At that time, there were only 4 employees at the restaurant, but they tried to provide the best service, and following seeing them finished their meal, they even provided dessert.
However, none of these parties left the restaurant without paying. After 5 days passed and there was no news, the restaurant manager eventually reported the damage to the media.
“I don’t understand why no one paid,” the restaurant manager said in an interview with local media.
After the report went out, it is known that President A went back to the restaurant to pay the non-payment and apologize. At the time, he explained that he thought his staff had calculated it and that he hadn’t paid.
However, local netizens voiced criticisms such as “If the restaurant manager hadn’t reported it to the media, it would have passed,” “I tried to steal more than 1 million won and failed,” “I wouldn’t have thought it would be on the news.”
