A bold woman left UK restaurant staff astonished when she ate a meal, refused to pay, and calmly walked out.

The moment posted by @ukthanos on TikTok had people laughing, shaking their heads, and thanking her for entertaining them.

The woman confronts the restaurant employees

After finishing her food, the waiter brought @ukthanos the bill. She asked what the bill was for and demanded that he take it to the restaurant manager. She criticised the restaurant, saying they buy food from Aldi and overcharge. The waiter tried to explain the rules, but she stood firm.

Another employee stepped in, but @ukthanos whipped out multiple bank cards and said the money wasn't an issue; the food, however, wasn't edible. She said she only ate to avoid offending the chef, then confidently stood up and left, saying she’d show them exactly how she wasn't paying.
