They came to eat with 21 people in the buffet restaurant of Sarah Norys and her husband André, but when their plates were empty and their bellies were round… they refused to pay. The two operators are left with an unpaid bill of 770 euros and were even threatened.

The facts took place last Friday in the Hainaut municipality of Jurbeke, about 10 kilometers north of Mons. A large group of 21 people – 19 adults and two children – had reserved a table together and enjoyed the all you can eat buffet. “At one point a young woman came up to me to say she didn’t like the meal. It’s disgusting, she said, adding that she was leaving with her husband,” Sarah Norys explained to SudInfo.

When Sarah went to the table, to her surprise, all the guests suddenly started to get up one by one to leave. When she urged her customers to pay, they told her they did not want to because the food was “nasty”. The customers fled and drove away before André could emerge from the kitchen.

Negative reviews
After the incident, Sarah Norys and her husband informed the police. The police called the person who reserved the table. “I was able to pass on their name and telephone number to the police myself, because I still had them thanks to the booking,” Norys tells Het Nieuwsblad. However, the person did not answer the police call, but later called the restaurant back. If Sarah and André filed a complaint against them, the table skimmers would bombard them with negative reviews online, the man threatened.
Sarah and her husband still don’t fully understand what happened to them on Friday evening, but they certainly don’t leave it at that and have already filed a complaint. “We have already passed on the evidence – the surveillance images – to the police,” she says. She has not heard anything from the customers, she says, even after her story ended up in the newspaper.
