Dear Fonseca,
A local restaurant is smearing my friends and I on Facebook. We ate there last Saturday. The dinner was fine. We asked for our check. Our server said he would be right back. Thirty minutes passed and he was nowhere to be found. My friends and I were frustrated and angry so we got up and left. The restaurant posted our pictures on Facebook and claimed we dined and dashed. Not true. We wanted to pay with credit cards because we had no cash. We asked other servers to help us with our bill, but they were too busy. I don't think we did anything wrong by leaving. What kind of restaurant makes people wait 30 minutes to pay their bill? Do you think we did anything wrong by leaving? It's not our fault that they didn't want our money? Would you have left?
