So was it everybody at the restaraunt as in the owner was in charge of the operation, or isolated to one waiter/waitress in particular...that can make a big difference in how the story is told.

It usually the waiters... They are usually the less educated and have less to lose.

According to the news on KIII & KSIX the business is closed down now
with a couple of signs on the door, one that said the business is closed to refinish the floors and the other sign said the business has been closed because the owner/operator hasn't paid the rent.

The reporter also said that the 2nd sign said the owners/operators were evicted.

oldest scam in the book. Used to happen at lots of restaurants I used to work at years ago - like gunbuyer said the waiters are usually at fault. Very easy to trace back to who was at fault - and I have seen people go to jail for it.

IMS fare tops Georges any time. Speaking of good food, when is the next one? I've got plenty of fish to donate.

Went there 4 or 5 months back with my wife walked in ....ordered drinks.....took a look at the menu.....paid for my drinks in cash and left...i did not like the place at all nor the menu selection. Glad i paid in cash im not sure how long this has been going on.

One more good reason to have LIFELOCK. I sleep comfortable at night. Neither LifeLock nor Navy Federal Credit Union would allow this crap to happen.
