Edinburgh restaurant staff were left angry when a group of diners left without paying their £80 bill. The incident occurred at Toby Carvery Lauriston Farm, where four young men ordered desserts after their meal before running off without settling the bill on November 16. This is the second time in a few weeks that such an incident has happened, with the police reviewing the footage.
A member of the restaurant’s management expressed frustration at the group’s behavior and called on them or their parents to come forward and pay the bill. The staff posted a statement on Facebook, highlighting how such actions are negatively impacting the dining experience for other customers. A senior staff member mentioned that the group did not appear suspicious and likely took advantage of a busy moment to leave unnoticed.
The restaurant shared on social media their disappointment in the situation and asked the group to make amends for their actions. They emphasized the negative impact on their business and team, especially since a similar incident occurred the previous week. The staff expressed hope that the culprits would show remorse and settle the bill to avoid further consequences.
The restaurant’s management also mentioned the possibility of implementing a policy where payment is required upfront to prevent such incidents from happening again. They urged the group to come forward and make things right, highlighting their willingness to forgive but also stressing the importance of taking responsibility for one’s actions.
Overall, the incident has left the restaurant staff feeling frustrated and disappointed, as they strive to provide a pleasant dining experience for all customers. The hope is that the diners who left without paying will rectify the situation and learn from their mistake to prevent similar incidents in the future.
