Diner allegedly walks out without paying at Hey! Yakiniku
A customer at Hey! Yakiniku’s Bugis Junction outlet allegedly left the restaurant without paying for his S$25.90 lunch buffet — and was caught on CCTV exiting through the back door.
In a Facebook post on Monday (7 July), the Japanese BBQ restaurant called out the incident with a cheeky yet pointed message.
“Someone enjoyed our Eat All you Can $25.90 (sic) lunch buffet a little too much — and forgot the bill intentionally by walking out via the back door exit,” the restaurant wrote, adding a winking emoji and a firm reminder: “Don’t worry, our cameras never forget.”
