 |
|
Please forgive me, this isn't going to win classiest post of the year award.
Coming home late from Itaewon I noticed my credit card was missing and immediately called and had it canceled. This morning I remember that I started a tab at a bar and forgot to pay it.
What happens in this case, does the bar try to come after you or do they just cut their losses? It wasn't a big tab, about $10 I think, bu I still feel bad.  |

You really need a post to ask people for advice? Seriously? If you feel bad, go pay the ten bones. |

Never asked for advice. Just wanted to know what bars do (if anything) about unclosed tabs. |

Sometimes they will charge you a fee for not closing your tab out
Others will just run it and forge your signature. You can't do anything about it because credit card companies won't even bother to investigate a claim that's less than several hundred dollars. |

| This is a nightly occurrence at most busy establishments. Any bar with decent staff/management will have protocol to print out an itemized receipt and keep your card in a safe place for a reasonable amount of time on the off chance you'll come back in to pick up/pay off. |

+1. I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that bars have some experience in people forgetting things due to their buzz.
And nothing to be ashamed of, well except for the fact that $10 worth of booze got you that smashed. I kid, I kid, we've all been there. Hope everything goes well. |

Iam glad you have the money to pay for it now. If you didn't, then I was gonna suggest that you do this should the accused have managed to track you down:
"Ei incumbit probatio qui dicit, non qui negat" |

^ I do wish you would stick to pig latin instead of showing off or whatever the hell you keep trying to achieve. I just don't see the point of deliberately and repeatedly posting things that 99% of the board can't read and are too lazy to google, just so that you can feel special.
That's just my humble opinion... |

| I don't think the figure is as low as 99%, but unless the latin phrase is as common as "vini, vidi, vici" or "in vino veritas" you are not communicating very clearly when you use it. |

And she communicates clearly in English? |

It's not cyui's fault that she/he was born in Korea/Russia. |

No showing off ( just trying to help).The entire explantation would have taken up to much space abnd would been more annoying..
Simply terms:"pressumed innocence" (ie denial). |

How is that helping?
What language are you speaking?
And agree your English isn't that much more coherent. |
