Unpaid bills?

Unpaid bills?

From Kompas

On Feb. 10, 1995 we visited O'Reiley's in the Grand Hyatt Hotel for some weekend entertainment and to listen to the music, after having dinner in Grand Cafe. This was the second time we visited the place to relax after a tiring office day.

There were no seats left for us, because many other people were there for the same purpose.

After waiting for about two minutes in a corner a waiter came to us. We thought the waiter would take an order from us. But to my amazement, and beyond our expectation, the waiter asked: "The other day you drank here, but you have not paid the drinks yet, have you?" We were shocked at this statement. I was sure that my fiance had paid all the bills when we drank there in October 1994.

At that time, October 1994, we had met with some friends of my colleagues who were there earlier than us. We talked for some time and they left earlier because they wanted to go to a disco.

Then the waiter, in an unfriendly manner, forced us to pay the unpaid bills. The waiter wanted to know my telephone number but I refused to tell him.

I tried to convince the waiter that he might be wrong because, it was by this time, already five months ago. The waiter replied impolitely: "I have never forgotten the faces of people who have not paid their bills."

I deeply deplored the way the waiter dealt with us.
