STATES CONCOURSE INVESTIGATED AN UNPAID BAR TAB what happened my boss told me to watch her that she she was at the bar yesterday and she didn't pay her tab she walked out she got uh two lemon drops uh the 20 bucks each and a double shot of honey she didn't drink the honey and I she started to walk I followed her and say hey can you please come back and pay your Bill she's like oh there's a fine I'm like you have to come back and pay your Bill this happened yesterday or right now right now I I don't even have a phone I use a TSA's phone oh I have to go back to work but she didn't pay her Bill at City Pub 57 dollar Bill who's gonna come like I can have somebody identify her write a statement says they want to press charges I can do but I gotta go I'm not gonna press charges but I have I have to tell you because that's what we do as a bartender we go chase the people that don't pay their bills right but you guys are a victim she didn't pay well can you come back to talk to me about it cause I have to go back to work uh is there a manager come out here so I can't I promise I can come back there if I'm with her here so is there a manager someone wants to come out I mean it must not be that important if nobody wants to come out okay I can I'm here so what do you need from me are you are you the manager no I'm the bartender he doesn't even know I left the customers will tell him that I chased her cause they saw her okay well go back and get with him and find out if you guys want to do you have a number which you call you I can call you cause I don't have my phone with me I'm at the bar OK well hang on she was here yesterday I just her her ID's from Philadelphia I think she's I'm assuming maybe she's homeless I don't know she has a 57 dollar tab we need to get somebody at the City Pub and see if they want to press charges or what she signals 20 she had a Delta ticket she should have been on the left side she signals 20 yeah but what I'm saying is if she refuses to pay we can't we can ask nicely for her to slide her credit card but if she says no then that's the end right that's the we can't just take like we can't just turn her upside down and like shake her pockets out that's not I get it but there's only so much we can do without a victim that wants to file a charges so we can't make her pay like our we can ask her to pay and if she says I'm not paying then the only thing we can then do is arrest her for not paying we'd have to have a victim that want to write a statement and identify her press charges I should talk with her because she was here yesterday doing the same thing OK did this to you guys yesterday not to me I don't know what she did yesterday my boss just told me to make sure she pays her Bill what he's gonna take her back just go
