A Houston restaurant is going viral after posting security footage that shows a couple planting hair in their food to get a free meal.
Leslie Ramirez posted a video accusing a couple of pulling a scam for free meals at Fajitas Mexican Grill in Houston. The couple came in, ate their food, but began making a scene right before finishing.

Scammers make a huge scene inside Houston restaurant.

With only a few bites left, the couple began to flag down a waiter to make a complaint about hair in their food. However, after examining the light-colored strand of hair, he knew it couldn’t have come from anyone in the kitchen. That instantly infuriated the couple, who began to make a huge scene.

“They were yelling at him and saying things that I would say were not very nice, very cruel words to our waiter,” Ramirez said. “They didn't appreciate him not believing them.” Ultimately, the restaurant decided to comp the meals because they did not want a customer to pay for something they were very dissatisfied with, but it doesn’t end there.

Surveillance footage proves everything workers suspected.

Later on, surveillance footage was reviewed and showed the disheartening truth. The video catches the woman plucking one of her own hairs and placing it on the table. The man then picks up the hair, places it on his fork, and starts smearing it all over his nearly finished plate. That’s when the woman flags down the waiter to begin their complaint about hair in their food.
