A Charlottetown restaurant owner is crediting the public and the power of social media for helping her track down a family who feasted on lobster, oysters and drinks before pulling the infamous dine-and-dash.
Staff at Lobster on the Wharf in Charlottetown were surprised and disheartened to discover a family of four had skipped out on their $170 bill earlier this week.
Gale said it's not only hard on restaurants, but hard on servers who spend time waiting on customers for no tip. Gale said dining and dashing happens a few times a year, and the culprits usually get away with it. This was the first time it happened this year, and she hopes it will be the last. Social media users managed to track down the family within days after staff posted about the dine-and-dash on Facebook.
