FALSELY ACCUSED OF DINE & DASH!
Drove down from Edmonton to Calgary to visit a friend. I was hungry so I called Boston Pizza to order take out. I picked up my friend and then we drove to Boston Pizza to pick up the take out. He waited in the truck, I went into the restaurant, received my order, paid, then we drove away. 10 minutes later my wife calls in a panic from Edmonton saying that the Calgary police have called her at our home. Apparently one of the BP staff members took down my licence plate number after "witnessing" a "dine & dasher" getting into my truck before we drove away. The police officer also informed her that they have video footage as evidence and I am in "big trouble". My wife is very upset because this situation makes absolutely no sense. She knows that I would never involve myself in such a crime. There is no video footage simply because we did not allow any "dine & dashers" into my truck to assist them in their escape. The video threat was some bullshit police intimidation tactic. I call the cop. Over a few phone calls we clear things up. The situation seems to have been resolved. Hopefully I have been cleared from the list of suspects that may have assisted an alleged "dine & dasher" that has bailed on his $20 bill! Thanks Boston pizza! Thanks Calgary police! Nice job on ruining our evening! I also noticed that this was one of the dirtiest BP's I've ever been in and the smell was noxious. Maybe new management is in order? I have a feeling that Jim Treliving, founder of Boston Pizza, would approve of a swift apology and a generous gift card. I'm waiting.
