Who should get the vouchers?

[Cocoswhiskers]

Hello all,
First post, after much lurking 😔
Please consider this scenario,
A group of 6 go out for a meal. One person pays to treat the rest.
Let’s call that person A.
Another person, Person B, makes a complaint about the service/food in the days afterwards. But this person does not inform person A, either at the time of the meal or in the days afterwards.
The company who own the place where the food was served, reply to the complaint and send out £60 in vouchers to person B.
When person A is told about the complaint and vouchers they are not happy. They didn’t even know person B was that unhappy with the food/service.

Person B then ‘shares out’ the vouchers equally between everyone who attended the meal.
AIBU to think that person B shouldn’t have complained in this way and then ‘shared out’ the vouchers?

Well a restaurant surely wouldn't find it that difficult to verify if they asked the bill total and what means was it paid by.
If the OP paid by credit card?

If the OP was the host, the booking was likely in HER name?

Did B pretend to be A?

Not that difficult for some people I would imagine.

Person A should have got the vouchers. Really bad they didn't.

Hi OP, you 100% should have received those vouchers from person B.
Person B is beyond rude.

What did Person B actually complain about? From your posts, it sounds like the vouchers weren't even justified!
