A woman who departed a bar without settling her bill was met with a surprising encounter when she returned to the same establishment three years later, finding out that the owner still remembered her.
This incident has gone viral in Spain, thanks to the popular account Soy Camarero, meaning ‘I’m a waiter’ in English, and has been widely shared.
The account narrates the story of a woman who left a scathing review of a bar for an unusual reason, only to reveal that she had not paid her tab from three years ago.
According to reports from the Express, the woman would arrive at the bar on her scooter, order a beer, and had to pay upfront because she had a habit of leaving without settling her dues.
The account mentioned, “There was a woman who used to come on her scooter and drink beer, and we had to charge her straight away because she always left without paying. One day she came in for a meal, ordered everything, and, in a moment of distraction, hopped on her scooter and vanished for three years.”
The bar owner, upon spotting her at a nearby bar, approached her to ask for payment. However, the woman did not provide any explanation for her actions and did not attempt to negotiate payment terms.
Following the encounter, the bar owner made efforts to collect payment from the woman for the meal she consumed years ago. Instead of complying, the woman chose to leave a negative review, criticizing the establishment.
In her review, she expressed her disbelief at being charged for a meal from three years ago, emphasizing that the bar owners lacked empathy and consideration for customers in difficult situations.
In addition to the negative feedback, she gave the restaurant a modest three out of five ratings for food, service, and atmosphere.
