(Facebook/@TheObservatory) Tom Croft, the owner of the restaurant, had to refund the customer’s dinner after she caused a scene and alleged that hair was found in her food. Later, when Croft went back to check the CCTV footage to make sure his staff’s hair was tied back, he discovered how the woman slyly added the hair to the meal, reports Plymouth Live. He then shared the CCTV footage on Facebook and wrote, “Warning to other businesses. This is not something we like to do, but this industry is difficult enough without people like this sabotaging their own food in order to claim refunds at our expense.
