Chinese waiters use customer's card to buy cellphones while he waits
They can probably forget about a tip.
A pair of Shanghai waiters were arrested after taking off with a customer's credit card and using it to buy mobile phones while he sat in their restaurant, the Shanghai Daily reported Friday. The diner, identified only by his surname, Zhu, had paid for lunch and was waiting for a receipt when the credit card company called. Had he just spent 25,000 yuan ($4,100 Cdn) on new cell phones? Waiters Ling Hong and Wang Luole were arrested soon afterward and charged with theft, the paper said.
