00:00A party of eight tried walking out on a $600 dinner tab by screaming that they found a dead cockroach
00:06inside their half-eaten ribeye steak.
00:08The loudest guy stood up in the crowded dining room shouting that our kitchen was filthy and demanding their entire
00:14meal be comped, plus $200 in cash compensation.
00:18My manager walked over, smiled, and held up his iPad.
00:21He turned the screen toward the table and pressed play on our crystal clear 4K overhead security camera.
00:26It showed the loud guy pulling a pill bottle out of his jacket, unscrewing the cap, and casually tossing the
00:32dead bug onto his plate five minutes earlier.
00:34My manager said, you have two minutes to pay the $600 bill, plus a 20% gratuity, or the two
00:40officers outside will review this fraud.
00:42They paid in total silence and practically ran to their cars.
