Waitress has to hand over whole day's wages after customers leave without paying

A waitress had to give up a whole day's wages to pay the bill of a table of stumers who left the restaurant without paying. The waitress's mum called in to a radio show to explain what had happened to her daughter.

Speaking to RTE's Joe Duffy, Louise said it was “crazy” her daughter had to pay for someone else’s dishonesty. She said: “[My daughter] came in yesterday evening and she had worked a few hours and she said that she had to pay for people who left without paying their bill.

“She ended up almost working for nothing yesterday evening and she was very annoyed - I was furious. I thought it just can’t be right that if somebody doesn’t pay their bill that the waiting staff has to cover the cost of it.”
