Italian tourists leave Pamplona restaurant without paying, but police force them to settle plus a 10% tip
09/07/2017
A GROUP of 14 Italians fled a restaurant in Pamplona (Navarra) leaving their €620 bill unpaid – but the police caught up with them and ordered them to settle the tab, plus a 10% tip.
Pamplona is currently heaving with tourists because of its famous, but controversial Sanfermines bull-running festival, giving the group ample opportunity to 'try it on' without worrying too much about getting caught.
But they were unlucky this time, because the regional, or Foral police identified them almost immediately.
They had ordered a salmon tartar and a plate of chips for €14 and €3 respectively, one coffee at €1.60, then 14 set menus at €40 each, totalling €560, plus 15 shots of spirit at €2.80 each, totalling €42.
The total came to €620.60.
Officers forced the group to pay up on the spot and, by way of 'apology' to the owners, leave a tip of 10%.
