No. The real issue is that the police should have been called if the Oilers players tried to shirk ~6K in charges. Not the media.

Again, contesting a bill is not illegal. This is a retarded assertion, and it becomes increasingly retarded each time you repeat it.

If the restaurant did go back and reduce the bill (for whatever reason) and hand it to the players, then they cannot call the police after the fact and complain legally that the Oilers didn't pay. This is law 101.

You also keep avoiding the fact that the real issue here is that the Oilers were allegedly abusive, which is NOT AT ALL surprising given their performance this year, state of inebriation (you've seen the bill for alcohol), etc.

It's pretty ****ing obvious to me that the main problem was the Oilers didn't pre-arrange a pay-by-the-bottle system, in which case restaurants charge you the menu price -- per serving. It sounds like the restaurant went back and adjusted it after the Oilers became abusive.

As for the tip situation, it's a "he said she said" thing. The only thing we have to go on are the receipts the owner showed the media -- the one in the CTV clip has writing on it that may've been written by the owner himself to show what they SHOULD have paid (the mandatory 18% tip). In any case, the receipt in the clip is NOT the one the restaurant can use to charge people -- those receipts are not signed, they're not merchant copies.
