Man jailed and Facebook shamed for drink and dash at the The Brewer's Cabinet

HERE'S why you should always pay your bar tab.

A man was thrown in the slammer after a bar which had been supplying him with beverages all night Facebook-shamed him for his frugality.

Reno bar The Brewer's Cabinet were unimpressed after patron, Saul Zelaznog drank and dashed off without paying his $100 tab. One of the bartenders managed to take a picture of the man on his cellphone before he fled and posted it on the bar's Facebook page.

It tus out that Zelaznog allegedly had bar tabs owing all over the city.

Undeeath the photo the bar posted the following message: "ATTN RENO: If you know, or see, this dude, please call RENO POLICE DEPT at 334-2121 immediately, and then remind him that his tab at The Brewer's Cabinet is still waiting to be paid.... and his tab at Campo.... and his tab at Imperial.... and his tab at Chapel... and his tab at many other fine establishments."

"And, while you're at it, you could tell him that visiting restaurants/bars with your friends, running up a huge bill, roughing up servers and then bailing is pretty uncool... pathetic, really. Get a life, man".

The bar also filed a police report against the cheap drinker.

Meanwhile, the post has been shared more than 900 times.

Chris Kahl, the co-owner of the bar told the Reno Gazette-Joual that he was just trying to "look out for all the other business owners".

"A hundred dollars, that's a lot of money to lose," he said.

"All his friends paid and left and he was the last one," Kahl said. "The server needed to collect his money. He said he forgot his wallet."

Zelaznog told the Gazette-Joual that he wasn't "trying to bu bridges around town" and that he planned to retu to the bar to take care of his tab.

"They're acting like I ran out of there; he said. I was going to be back to take care of my tab".

Perhaps in the future Mr Zelaznog will lea to always keep his wallet on him. A tip wouldn't go astray either.
