One day after the story aired Drakon reached out to Leslie to let her know that, "The male in the video came in and paid the tab."
It took over a week for the man to come and pay the tab and, according to Drakon, he was upset about it.
The impact of dining-and-dashing on servers
Dig deeper:
Drakon says she does not make her staff pay on walked-out tabs, but regardless of the amount, the product loss and impact on her team is why she posted about the incident on Facebook.
"It's not only the loss of a product, but the loss of a tip for the server. That's another table that could have sat there maybe or two different times that could have provided them with however much money, 50 dollars or 20 dollars," she said.
