After having their aperitif, they got up and quietly left without paying the bill.

It happened at a popular club on the Quartu coast, on Via Leonardo da Vinci, in the Bellavista area. The owner of the Mai Tai reported the incident on social media, politely urging them to reconsider their actions: "We urge the four young men who left the club this evening without paying their bill to return and settle the matter," she wrote yesterday. "Otherwise, we will be forced to publish the video documenting the incident. Work deserves respect in all its forms. We trust in your common sense."

Attached is the receipt for three Spritzes, a Prosecco, and a platter. The appeal, posted on the page of a Quartu residents' group, quickly spread across social media, and who knows if the "distracted" customers will pay again.
