He Went To Eat Dosa Alone But Paid For Two; Here’s Why

Odisha : Getting charged extra at restaurants is not too uncommon, an IPS officer has revealed how he was conned out of paying for two dosas at a restaurant where he had only ordered one.

Arun Bothra, Additional DGP, CID-Crime and Transport Commissioner, Odisha, shared a tweet explaining how he was scammed.

On Monday, Bothra said he went to have a dosa at a restaurant and was left surprised to see two dosas mentioned in the bill. When he asked the waiter about it, he was told that another person at a different table took a masala dosa saying that he was accompanying the officer and asked for their food to be billed together. Before he could confront the person, he had already left, forcing Mr Bothra to pay the additional bill.

Went to a restaurant alone to have a dosa. Was puzzled to see the bill that mentioned two dosa.

On asking the waiter said one person sitting on other side took a masala dosa saying that he was accompanying me. He had left by the time bill came.
