AURORA, Colo. — The Aurora City Council voted 7-3 on Monday to pass an ordinance that requires jail time for those who leave restaurants after meals without paying.
Pushed by Councilmembers Danielle Jurinsky and Dustin Zvonek, the ordinance establishes a minimum penalty of three days in jail if an individual walks out of a restaurant without paying if the tab is $15 or more. Jurinsky and Zvonek told Denver7 they hope this sends a message of support to Aurora’s small businesses.
The vote by Aurora City Council was 7-3, with Councilmembers Crystal Murillo, Ruben Medina, and Alison Coombs opposing the measure. The team at Seoul Korean BBQ and Hot Pot in Aurora affirmed this sentiment. Sally Lee, the restaurant group’s financial officer, said the restaurant now experiences dine and dash every week, significantly harming it financially. The expensive decision was made two months ago to install cameras with facial recognition software to serve as a deterrent.
