A Couple Ordered a $400 Dinner and Left Without Paying, so My Manager Made Me Cover the Bill – The Next Morning, He Handed Me What They’d Forgotten and Said, ‘I Think You Need to See This’

Lobster.

Several cocktails.

And a bottle of Bordeaux we kept in the locked wine cabinet.

By the time they turned down dessert, their total came to $407.63.

“Could we have the check?” the man asked.

He looked at his phone again.

I placed the leather folder beside him and walked away to deliver drinks to another table.

I was gone maybe three minutes.

When I came back, the booth was empty.

So was the payment tray.

At first, I assumed they had stepped outside.

Then I checked the restrooms.
