Glad they got caught. Too bad the restaurant didn’t ask them to also give the tip for the server. On $170, that is likely $30+ that was missed out on.

That's despicable

Another scheme that people do is finish the meal, then complain the meal was no good and telling staff they aren't paying.

Wow, with kids. Some family values are scum.

I remember a post on the Etsy forums (you can't post on them anymore unless you have a seller acount) But anyway, this poor woman posted that a buyer was claiming she never got the shirt she ordered. The woman sold customized children's t-shirts and this one was a birthday shirt.

The seller decided to do some investigating, found the woman's public face book account and guess what? The buyer posted pictures on her page of the kid wearing the birthday shirt. People said to message her and call her on it. The seller seemed hesitant to do so. Thank goodness this person is raising kids!
