A LONDON restaurant chain has been “caught out” on its poor employment practices after a waiter was “made to foot the bill from his wages” when customers left without paying.
Sarah Hayward, who is the former Labour leader of Camden council, was dining at the Kentish Town branch of Mexican restaurant chain Wahaca on last night when a table of customers walked out of the building without paying their bill.
Ms Hayward claims she was told it was “company policy” to deduct the cost from the wages of the waiter responsible for the table.
