'Customer' skips out on roti shop bill
T&T Express

A Chaguanas eatery lost close to $300 in profit yesterday, after its employees were duped by a fat and hungry con artiste.

The culprit, who is said to be short and portly, walked into "D"s Breakfast Shed and Roti Shop in Montrose before lunch.

He made a large order-three duck and four chicken lunches, and eight soft drinks.

He asked that the bill not exceed $300, said an employee, who asked that other businesses be on the lookout.

The man then ran off without paying. He was last seen dressed in a blue three quarter pants, a yellow t-shirt and sneakers. A report was made to the Chaguanas Police Station.

It is a trust issue. This is normal practice in Trini. You would want to think you can atleast trust the fat guy  

He got tuh come back for more

Not based on anything I have ever done to her but becuase her damn husband appears to be a scamp!

but that not too bad! Here (being conservative) the average roti is $8. So 7 roti @ $8 x exchange rate (abt 1 cdn = $5.70) so that is $319.00 and we eh even consider the drinks.

That came from since the sixties where the first set of no good trinidadians that hung out and hustled on fulton street got that negative image .

most of them were dishonest and had the gift of garb tuh go with their con games, unfortunately a lot of them met their fate when trying tuh outslick fellas who weren't having it.

they were also big time horner men who enjoyed messing wid other ppl's women. one of my uncles got caught up in dat and recieved ah couple of shots for his trouble, fortunatly for him he survived the attack, but continued in his dirty ways.
