Some restaurants operating in Australia have recently run into an absurd touch with porcelain. Recently, a group of Irish mothers defrauded restaurants in Brisbane by putting fragments of glass in food and not paying for it.
One of the victims, Marie Yokoyama, a 33-year-old restaurant owner, warned service workers to watch out for the women.
Last week, the women played the trick in the Japanese bar she runs, and the $200 in food and drinks didn't pay. Yokoyama posted a Facebook post warning all the restaurants in Brisbane that a group of Irish women were liars. They appeared near Brisbane and said they found glass in food and asked for exemption.
On Feb. 26, four women, carrying Louis Vuitton's handbags, entered her Japanese restaurant with their children, Yokoyama told the media. It was 10 minutes before they finished their lunch service (02:50).
Yokoyama said: when they came in, we were going to close the door. They ordered wine and went out for a cigarette, and the children ran around the restaurant.
Yokoyama said the women were eating when suddenly, a person threw up the food on the napkin. In the middle of the meal, a woman began to scream, saying there was glass in the food and that her mouth was bleeding. I trusted her and asked to see the glass. But obviously, these women are prepared, since they say there is glass, then it will certainly be ready for real glass.
The women became aggressive when they discovered the glass, Yokoyama said. She said, "I'm scared."
You can understand the shopkeeper: after all, it will take some time to prove that the glass was not brought with it. And if the customer is clamoring for compensation at the same time, the store will feel more or less guilty and afraid of affecting the reputation of their restaurant, will certainly choose peace of mind.
Yokoyama cleaned up the table and said it would be free. But these people took the opportunity to order another round of drinks. Yokoyama said: "two people put lemonade in the wine and said the taste was interesting."
See here, things make people feel a bit of a problem. It is reasonable to say that if there is really a problem with the food in the restaurant, there should be a rush to check to see if you are injured at this time, and block the restaurant and stop patronizing it any more!
However, the reality is that these people do not want to leave, and Yokoyama has to call for help from the restaurant next door. Yokoyama says the glass can't come from the restaurant, the woman who spits out the food and the woman who takes out the glass.
There was some strange movement between them.
On Tuesday, she gave the answer on Facebook. I understand that glass doesn't come from our restaurant, but these women are pretty cold, she said. There is no such thick glass in our restaurant. I'm scared. I think these people are scary. So give them a waiver.
Look at this, there should be more than one restaurant encountered this "touch porcelain" incident. Sure enough, at least three restaurants in the area contacted her and said the group had deceived them.
The same thing happened a month ago, wrote one restaurant owner. We're all crazy, and we can't understand how a glass (which is not available in a restaurant) runs into spaghetti. Then, the women said they wanted to go to the hospital. They said someone was pregnant and had to go to the hospital, but the so-called pregnant woman actually drank a bottle of wine before. It was nice to know that it was a hoax.
Another restaurant owner also managed to take pictures of the women, saying: the Irish women came in and ordered oysters, steak and prawns. They said they found the glass and refused to pay for it. They have a strong Irish accent, make-up, wear clothes, and carry Louis Vuitton's handbag.
All right, come here and sort out the women's routines: they have an Irish accent, they dress well, they all carry Louis Vuitton's handbags, they order the most expensive food in the restaurant, and they behave strangely. If you receive such a group of guests, it is likely that in a short time they will yell for glass in the meal and ask you to give them a free bill.
Yokoyama informed the police of the incident at the Birds NestRestaurant restaurant. Kunzhou police say they are investigating the case.
