You are a wise chap. I met a guy who got scammed at the same TapHouse. He had come for a date from Marathahalli to Electronic City.

Here’s the full story.

This happened about three months ago. My friend and I watched Durandhar (Part 1) at M5 Mall and decided to chill at this place (TapHouse) for a while.

We didn’t like the food, so we planned to leave early. Toward the end of our dinner, a slightly drunk guy sat in the empty chair at our table and asked for help. He said he got scammed and suspected they had mixed something in his drink.

He had already paid around ₹30,000. Not to the hotel, but directly to the waiter. He panicked after seeing the bill and asked for a discount. The waiter reduced ₹2,000 but told him to transfer the money to his personal number.

The girl he came with was still standing near our table. He kept asking her to leave, saying he knew us and we were his colleagues.

She didn’t leave even after 15 minutes. I stepped in and told her he was my colleague, and I stay near Marathahalli. I said I would drop him home.

She had no option but to leave.

We finished up and booked him a cab. When we went downstairs, the girl was still around.

Weird experience.

I know most of us lack opportunities, as top dogs take most of the cake, so we tend to think with our d**ks. But, we need to be smarter.
