The North Yorkshire Police have recently released a photo of a couple that they would like to speak to regarding an incident. It seems that the police are on the lookout for this couple who allegedly left a restaurant without paying for their meal. According to reports, the stingy duo enjoyed four adult meals and two drinks at Al Taco, a popular eatery in Whitby, North Yorkshire known for its affordable and tasty dishes, with most items on the menu costing less than £10.
This incident of "dining and dashing" has caused quite a stir in the community, as Al Taco has received numerous positive reviews on Trip Advisor, earning them an impressive 4.5-star rating. Customers have praised the restaurant for its delicious and budget-friendly meals, describing it as "cheap and cheerful." The North Yorkshire Police have released a statement, requesting any information regarding the whereabouts of this couple.
A spokesperson for the police stated, "We're appealing for information about a man and woman who left a Whitby restaurant without paying for their meal." It seems that this incident has caused quite a buzz, as even TripAdvisor users have joined in on the conversation, with one user stating, "Best Mexican food we've had." Al Taco itself has also addressed the issue, thanking their loyal customers for their support after a social media post about the incident went viral, being shared over ten thousand times.
The restaurant wrote, "Wow! We are blown away by the amazing response to our original post, which unfortunately showed two customers leaving without paying for their meals." They continued, "Although we are deeply upset by what happened, we are grateful for the love and support shown by our community. It's moments like these that make us proud to live in a small town where people stand by each other."
Unfortunately, this is not the first time a restaurant has had to deal with customers leaving without paying. Earlier this year, a group of men in Dumfriesshire refused to pay a £300 bill, claiming that the food was not up to their standards. The owner of the restaurant shared that this type of behavior is becoming more common, stating, "People think they can get away with ripping me off, and then others try to do the same." The executive director of UK Hospitality Scotland, Leon Thompson, also condemned this kind of behavior, saying, "It's simply unacceptable for customers to walk out of restaurants without paying. We encourage all operators to report these incidents to the police."
