Definitely premeditated,” added TikTok user jerryruddin29. “This type of people (if intentional) is the reason why some F&B collect payment after your order,” noted TikTok user Calico. Others urged the restaurant management to file a police report for faster resolution. “Hope the couple sees this video and kindly come back to the restaurant for payment,” added another netizen. /TISG https://theindependent.sg/serangoon-garden-eat-and-run-incident-kind-strangers-offer-to-foot-the-bill-out-of-sympathy-for-restaurant-after-couple-refused-to-pay-270-for-their-meal-at-korean-bbq/
