what to do when you don't have enough money to pay the bill?

jimbono1

I was at some bar with my friend we ordered a couple of beers, like 3 beers for each of us. Then the bill came out to 25 euro and we're like wtf we dont have enough cash to cover it and none of us had a credit card. Luckly my friend had a friend that lived closed by and came over and spotted us. But what should you do when you dont have enough money to pay the bill? Run? Tell the manager nicely?....?

If there's a group, send one person off for money and wait for them to come back.
Obviously they'd want to be trustworthy

25 euro for 6 beers is about the going rate I'm afraid...

Next time only buy what you can afford to pay for - a lesson for life in general.

make sure you put your hand in your pocket before you order, i always check even when i know i have enough money.

I suppose if you couldnt get the money, he would have ya doing the glasses for the rest of the night

Well at worst you'll be thrown out by the bouncer and you get away with out paying for the drinks. It's worth a try.

I'm just back after a year away in Oz. I was managing an Irish bar over there, and this happened a fair bit. I made the mistake of letting one guy off (the whole "we Irish look after each other" thing), and he thought that was his licence not to pay for a drink again! Needless to say he didn't last long. Should've made him do glasses!

Just run. Run like the wind!!!

What the hell is that? Its like something from a basement jacks viveo

Happened to me a couple of times - as in I was the barman awaiting payment.. I'd usually insist on something of value being left while someone went off to get money, maybe a grandmother, or wedding ring, or car keys etc.. I never gave a guarantee that I'd return the goods when payment had been made, but more often than not I'd be the nice Samaritan.

I've yet to hear of an actual situation where someone was given the option of cleaning dishes in return for free booze.. I'd be the best damn dishwasher ever!

Dave!

dunno really! I'd probably talk to the manager and say somethin like "I come here all the time, I'll pay you next time, I'm not gonna give up comin here for the rest of my life because of €25!" (if I did indeed go there regularly)

If I was never there before then I'd say somethin like "this is a nice place, I've had a good night, and I'd like to come back again, I'm not tryin to scam ye, I just didn't realise I hadn't the cash on me!"

Hopefully they'll be reasonable enough! Maybe also offer to leave my watch or chain with him as insurance... If I was perceived as honest then he probably wouldn't take the insurance.

Then I'd never go back to the place

Nah not really

Just because the bottles have been opened/pints have been poured, doesn't mean you have to take them. Until money passes hands, the beer belongs to the bar. So you just say, "Ah ****e man sorry, I don't have enough, here I'll pay you for three of them", then you take your three beers and go.

On the continent, they tend to present you with a bill, and you pay for your beers after consuming, so it's much more likely to have consumed the beer and then realised you can't pay. Here and in the UK though every bar I've ever been to (not including restaurants) you pay for your beer before consuming...

You could simply order 12 shots of vodka, drink them all really quickly and then fall over, accidentally "knocking" your friend out as you do.

I know of some friends who would simply pretend to go and get their jacket, and then run away.

A practical solution might be to give them something of value in your wallet as security, and go and take some money out.

As a last straw, you could sell your watch or jacket or mobile phone to someone in the club for a 10th of it's value, or you could claim that your wallets have been stolen, and stage a freak-out ;-)

Thank you thank you, you have been a great audience..Goodnight !:D
