Cheapasses spotted in Richmond
 
Just had dinner at Gyo-O in Richmond with the wife. First off, there is a big sign in the front saying "cash only". Table next to us is a young chinese couple. When they ask for the bill, they ask if they can split the bill half cash, half debit. The waiter kindly points out the sign saying "cash only". They say they don't have enough cash, so the waiter points out there is a TD just around the corner. The girl then tells the waiter she doesn't want to get dinged using the ATM... :suspicious: .

So they start counting out all their coins, and after emptying out their pockets, they're still short $1 of the total bill (not even including tips of course). The guy then goes up to the manager and says "I'm really sorry, but this all the money we have. Is it okay if we're only short a dollar?" Of course the manager says no, and again points out that there is a TD right around the corner, and again they say they don't want to get dinged on the ATM fee, to which the manager pretty much told him she didn't really care if he got dinged or not.

The guy goes back to his gf and mumbles how embarassing this is and they might have to stay to wash the dishes. So then the gf goes up to the manager and starts pleading with her saying "it's only a dollar, can't you just let us go?". I'm about to just give them $5 to spare the poor manager, when the manager finally just tells them to just go. I didn't realize such cheapasses existed...

:seriously: :fulloffuck: :facepalm:

I remember one time this Filipino lady held up the line at Superstore for 10 minutes over 15 cents..

True story.

manager could have asked them to leave one of their belongings behind until they paid in full?

shenmecar 01-05-2012 11:04 PM

Bet the bf mumbled "works every time" as he walked out.

lol one time eating at Onyx in white rock which is basically imo on par with Hy's etc. there was this loud mouthed EI guy sitting alone across from our booth, the guy sent back a filet because he said it was overcooked then he ordered the chicken and didnt even eat it

all the time ordering drinks etc. and pestering us saying "hey you guys come to boston pizza often? i own a couple" bla bla bla having the waitresses undo and re-adjust his watch on his wrist etc like he was somthing special or fuck i dunno lol

by the end of the night the female manager was going through his wallet swiping every single card he had to try and get payment on the meal until they just told him to fuck off and kept a handfull of his cards for ID etc.

i dunno if he was just cheap or stupid lol


BTW, if i was you and gave up that $5 i would have been sure to make a scene of it lol

Washing dishes versus a $1.50 ABM fee? :suspicious:

FYI: Obtaining Food by False Pretenses is a criminal offence under S.364(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada. There needs to be intent though.

"$1? here keep my wife...she can cook and wash dishes"

dinosaur 01-05-2012 11:44 PM

They probably didn't have enough money in the bank to make a withdrawl. Min is $20 and if they wanted to pay partial cash and rest debit, it probably would have only be 10 bucks or something...

Should not have been eating out anyways...assholes.

i see this alot when i work the cashiers at retail stores, ppl sometimes would rather count all their pennies and nickels instead of using their debit card because it will charge them a 25 cents

Only in Richmond

GrapeDrink 01-06-2012 12:00 AM

yeah the couple in that story is redic, but this really has nothing to do with being cheap though, like my parents are CHEAP, anytime there is a sale/coupon shit they fucking ON IT and doing statistical analysis on the cheapest possible outcome and shit, this just pure fuckery lol. Its not the fact that its only a dollar its the principle that matters, and its funny how they said oh its just a dollar short yet they the ones that won't go to the ATM because of 1.50?! :seriously:.

richmond is full of cheap asses these days. When Mcdonalds had that free coffee promotion, majority of ppl lining up were older Asians :facepalm:

Dude, old ppl were lined up all over the lower mainland...nothing to do with being asian. It was like a senior's zombie march everywhere. Cities stunk like mothballs and polident.

hmm speaking of cheapasses... how about these restaurants trying to get out of paying taxes to the govt... that should be the topic of this thread, not a couple on a night out even though they're scraping by ;)

LOL Is kinda of funny I work as tech support/Customer service and from time to time there are these acct that is disconnect for non pay and when they call to complain I look up their file and they have like EVERY SINGLE CHANNEL and tons Pay per view events lol. Then they complain they have no money to pay....... but demand cable and Internet to be turn back on........

I am sorry but if you can't afford shit, don't get shit :suspicious: what's so hard to learn..... You have $10 with you why the hell would you order a $100 meal is beyond me.........

True story too when Chinese call in to get promo and wanted to speak to someone who can speak Chinese I always try to avoid it or say I don't speak Chinese but I can only understand it (I can both say and understand it). One of the major reason is when a Chinese call about pricing 90% of the time they want a promo. If you only speak English to them they usually don't nag but as soon as you speak Chinese you could be on the phone with them for hours lol...........Some even complain about a few cents in late fees :heckno:

Of all the people I deal with I have to Japanese are the nicest. They don't get angry easier, sound very nice and polite, follow instructions and try to understand what you are saying even when they don't really get what you want to tell them.

Manic! 01-06-2012 12:08 AM

If you want to talk about cheap asses. What about the restaurant owner that wont accept debit cards because of a 20 cent or less fee? Now that's being a cheap ass.
