A Houston restaurant is speaking out after viral surveillance footage appeared to show a couple deliberately placing hair in their food in an apparent attempt to get a free meal.
The video, recorded on Monday, Jan. 12, from inside Fajitas Mexican Grill, shows a woman removing hair from her own head and placing it on the table. Moments later, the man sitting across from her appears to move the hair onto his plate before calling a server over to point it out.
The footage was later reviewed by the restaurant owner’s daughter, Laisha Ramirez, who stated that the complaint immediately raised concerns among the staff. Ramirez noted that the server was already suspicious, as no one with long hair was working in the kitchen at the time, and no staff member had hair that matched the color seen in the video.
Despite those doubts, the restaurant still chose to comp the couple’s meal…
