If you left a cafe without paying by mistake

[SetSquare]

one coffee and a carrot cake.

will feed info in in true AIBU style.

GO BACK

Ooh goody an up front by stealth

Go back and pay, why wouldn't you?

how can you forget to pay?

you've eaten and drunk - therefore you pay

I'd go back and pay.

oh no i am at HOME now you dullards.

Go straight back, or if I can't, I would ring them up immediately and promise to pay as soon as I could.

I would go back in if I realised straight away. If I had got home then I am not sure what I would do .

Well you should go back in and pay, assuming you realised your mistake before you paid for a busride home.

But I would probably not

How on earth did you get out of the cafe by mistake without paying? Sounds suspect to me.

oh yes obvioiuusly i wont give oyu ALL the aggravation and mitigation at one time...

lol at your second line.

Okay, I'll bite.

You should return to pay for it because it is probably a small business and cannot afford to have customers leaving without paying.

That about cover it?

DG ROFL at " sounds suspect"

yes i am a regular defrauder

Go back, pay the bill and apologise.

The only exception would be if it had been a stop off while travelling and by the time I realised I was already many, many miles away. In which case I'd call and sort it out over the phone.

Obviously I would phone up and beg forgiveness and go in soon or send a cheque.

There's a cafe we go to where it would be quite easy to not pay. Always have done of course.

what if oyu didnt really want a carrot cake BUT when asking if they still had any baklava ( said bah kla vah) the slaoney assitant said " oh you mean ber klar var?"

ok ladies NOW WOT

Well come on then, explain how you happened to consume cake and coffee and then, mysteriously, think you were being given them for nothing and walked out whistling?

its run by your best friend who you are seeing later anyway, so you can just pay her whenever and she wont get police on your tail in the mean time?

if they take card payments.. ring them up.. and pay person not present on your card..

morally a good thing to do.. and you don't have to go out to do it

You is taking da piss man

Dg you are really making me ROAR

what about the pronunciation correction?
does that not sway your verdict?

Well what the hell has their pronounciation of a word got to do with it? Are you going to say you asked for baklava, were promised it and given carrot cake instead which was not what you asked for so damned if you were going to pay for it?

Huh? If you felt the assistant was condescending you could have cancelled your order at the time. It's not a reason to avoid payment.

If it was, say, Starbucks, I probably wouldn't do it as quickly as if it was an independent business.

The Sloaney assistant may be a mitigation but not enough to not pay, just enough to not do it as quickly as you would have done otherwise.
