Was out with dh last night before a concert. Pub was heaving as next to the arena. We had a few drinks then felt hungry and ordered wings and fries to see us through.
Before we left I grabbed by bag and jacket to head to the toilet and when I came back seen the waiter talking to dh with the card machine in his hand and we left.
After checking online banking this morning I asked how he paid for the meal as it wasn't showing.
We then had some back and forth with him insisting I went to the bar to pay and me saying no I went to the toilet you paid the waiter and him saying no the waiter came over and I told him you were paying.
Phoned the bar to apologise over the phone and the guy went mad at me! Called me all the liars under the sun and told me he had a good mind to find me on the cctv and upload my picture to social media 🙈 He then told me I was never welcome back again.
I understand it was 100% dh and my fault but I wasn't expecting that reaction for trying to do the right thing,

you give your card over when you order.

Yeah as if we're going to do that. My card stays with me, or I pay for items as I go along if you're that bothered, thanks very much.

I wonder if he would have had a go if your (male) partner had rung, apologised and offered to pay over the phone. We'll never know, but I have my suspicions.

How about you name and shame the pub or the brand, and then I and the rest of us can avoid them completely 😁 I have no time for this (or much, I'm at THAT age and stage).

Didn't know people were still using the word 'div'

He’s being an idiot.

We were undercharged in a pub restaurant last year by quite a large amount and I didn’t realise until we got home. I contacted the pub to explain and they were initially really grateful for my honesty but then kept failing to call me back to take payment over the phone. It ended up being about three times that I called them and each time I was told the manager would call me. He never did so I’m not sure what I was meant to do.
