LIVINGSTON, Tenn. —
Video of a couple in an apparent attempt to get free food at a Tennessee restaurant is serving as a warning to other eateries in the area.
It happened Saturday at the Steel Coop in Livingston. The restaurant’s manager, Patrick Jones, told WSMV he was called over to a table where a couple claimed to have found a wad of hair on their plate.
Surveillance footage would show that hair didn’t come from his staff.
The video shows a woman reach behind her head. The man with her then reaches over and grabs what’s there and eventually puts it on his food.
“This was one that we’re like, you know what? We should post this,” Jones said. “People need to see that. It’s not always the restaurant that is wrong.”
When Jones was first called over to the couple’s table, he apologized and took that food off their bill. Then a customer sitting nearby told him it was the couple who was to blame.
Jones checked the footage and saw what actually happened. As he went outside to catch the couple before they left, he saw an unexpected sight.
