A restaurant claims a huge fake booking which had staff running around making arrangements for days could have been made by a rival. The restaurant said it had been left devastated after being strung along for a week by a large reservation which turned out to be a no-show.
A person making the alleged bogus booking rang with a number of questions through the week and to constantly push up the number of diners, the Irish Mirror reports.
"We spent so much time trying to accommodate them, rebuilding the table plans, ordering in extra food, especially for them, turning away genuine bookings for regulars and locals in the meantime, and then when it came to taking a deposit, they just tried to bluff it," a staff member 'Gaz' said, posting to Twitter.
