Even the best of us have experienced it: you go out to dinner, enjoy a sumptuous meal and a few drinks, but when the bill arrives, you realize you are unable to pay. Perhaps you switched purses for the evening and forgot your wallet, or your mobile money network is down and you are unable to complete a transaction.
However, what would happen if the night’s “sponsor” decided to leave and you didn’t have any money on you?
A thread about a group of girls who are stuck in one of the bars in Bugolobi because a man decided to leave without paying their bill is making the rounds on Twitter.
The girls are stuck with a Shs1.3 bill, according to a post shared by Viola_ishabiire (@ishabiire).
“Oh dear girls. A circle of distant friends i know are held at a bar in Bugolobi over a bill of 1,360,000ugx..apparently the guy they were with disappeared in the night. They’ve been given up to 10am to clear or else will be taken to jinja road police,” reads the tweet in part.
A lot of male Twitter users applaud the man for teaching the girls a lesson.
“I should meet this guy and toast to teaching some girls a lesson, someone decently takes you out and you start ordering things you’ve never bought in your life … well done lad. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 we shall fix this nation one bill at a time,” said comedian Patrick Salvado.
The girls are said to have raised Shs680k by the time this report was put together and given over their phones as security.
“Update! The 3 Girls managed to raise 680k. And given one 1phone 12 pro, techno camon 19 and infinix as security. They’ve promised to clear the bill before Saturday,” @ishabiire said.
