'We are extremely sorry': Dine and dashers apologize, repay SF Korean barbecue restaurant

It’s been a roller coaster ride for one Korean barbecue restaurant in the Richmond District that had back-to-back dine and dash incidents last weekend.

Alfred Lee, co-owner K-Elements BBQ in the Richmond District, told KPIX that on Saturday a party of three women dined at his restaurant and left without paying their $100 tab. Surveillance cameras caught the women swiftly turn the corner and make a run for it with smiles on their face.

But just days after the incident, the purported dine and dashers have made amends by paying in full and leaving an apology note inside K-Element BBQ’s mailbox, according to the restaurant owners. K-Elements BBQ shared the letter on Instagram, which was signed by “The 3 girls.”

“We are extremely sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused,” the note read. “We had full intentions of paying and once we had already eaten, we soon realised [sic] that it was 29.99 per person and not per table. At the time we didn’t have anywhere near enough money and could not afford what we had eaten and came to an irresponsible and irrational decision. ... Our act was not malicious or ill-intended towards your business, it was a mistake and a lack of judgment which we all deeply regret,” the note continued.

They thought they could get away without being embarrassed. When they knew they were caught on video they knew somebody would recognize them and out them.

It said they paid in full, but did they leave a tip, also, for the poor wait staff?
