Dream — When eating at a restaurant, it is impossible for us not to pay for it. There must be a system that makes customers obliged to make payment for the food, either before or after eating.
Apparently, the payment system can be very easily deceived by a 58-year-old man living in the Delft area, Netherlands.
"Over the years, the man deceived waiters and cashiers in Delft by eating without paying. It is estimated that he ate as many as 127 times without paying. "
The beginning of this case was revealed when a police officer was assigned to one of the restaurants where the old man did not pay the bill. According to one bartender, this man faked his condition by pretending to move his left hand uncontrollably as if he had a stroke. This then became the center of attention, so the restaurant called paramedics. Strangely, the paramedics who examined the old man did not find any symptoms of a stroke and refused to take him to the hospital.
The restaurant finally gave a bill to the man. Not immediately paid, the man promised to provide his name and address as collateral, which was eventually approved by the restaurant.
Fortunately, a paramedic realized this and revealed that the old man had given a false name and address to every restaurant he visited. "He thought he could get away with a bill of over a hundred euros ($108) by pretending to be sick," said Mike Hogeveen, the restaurant's bartender.
"Based on the advice of medical workers, the restaurant owner finally decided to call the police. After they checked his pockets for identification, it was revealed that the old man was a famous 'food pirate' who had been causing losses to many restaurants for years. There were approximately 127 complaints against him for not paying when dining at restaurants. Although there were civil lawsuits against him, no one was able to stop him."
There is no clarity regarding whether the man is still detained, or if there is a way to force him to pay his debt to the restaurant. Due to privacy regulations, even other restaurant owners do not know the man's name or what he looks like, thus protecting themselves from him.
