I went to a fast-food restaurant. There was another customer there whom the cashier was attending to. The cashier allowed the customer depart with items without collecting payment. I proceeded to make my order, then when I asked for my bill the cashier gave me an inflated bill. I asked the cashier why, to which she answered that I was also to pay for the customer that just left because I promised to pay. I however never promised to pay for anybody, so I refused to pay for the other customer. An argument then ensued between the cashier and myself.
Bună ziua, **** ****. În România, conform legii:
- Nimeni nu poate fi forțat să plătească pentru o altă persoană fără acordul acestuia.
- Dacă există dovada că nu ați promis să plătiți, puteți contesta factura.
Recomand să contactați un avocat pentru a discuta în detaliu.
Kindly provide your response in English because I am in Nigeria, not Romania.
