Skipping out on bar, restaurant tabs hurts more than people realize, service workers say
|
A January episode of Live PD in El Paso captured an issue that bars and restaurants wish people knew more about. “I paid one tab he was supposed to pay the other tab. The guy in the dreads was supposed to pay the other tab.” the man told El Paso Police Officer Melendez in the video. “So you kept drinking, thinking they were going to pay,” Melendez asked, as the man was being arrested. It turns out when you least expect it, someone will walk out on their bill, said Sabrina Medina, a bartender at Beach Bar, 6920 Delta.
