Wily like a fox? Perhaps just lucky and clueless. Heiress Paris Hilton managed to get a $5 million dollar payday out of a beer manufacturer in Australia, and while there to promote the suds, she stiffed a little cafe over a bill less than 10 bucks, fleeing the restaurant and not even tipping her wait staff.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports Paris' "brazen dine-and-dash" that happened yesterday after nibbling on a hamburger, mineral water and frappe at Sloanes Café before she took off without paying $8. "She's got bucket loads of money and she didn't pay for her drinks," disgusted waitress Jo Pfahl said.
Page Six reports that Paris in that same afternoon spent $2,200 at nearby Arianne Lingerie for stockings, jewelry, a camisole and bra.
The Herald reports that one of Hilton's publicists had ordered and paid for two burgers while the hotel heiress and her stylist friend, Kim Kardashian, shopped for lingerie and jewellery next door. Both Kardashian and Hilton were seen all over Aussie beaches festooned in matching Miami styled matronly get ups with matching shiny enormous bags.
"[Paris] had a little chat with a waiter up front, then they all got up and walked out without paying," Ms Pfahl said. The Herald reported the Wait staff joked they could sell the remains of Ms Hilton's meal on eBay.
Hilton's appearance at the cafe was not a scheduled one, and there was no deal to provide gratis food, said Pepita Macalister-Knight, whose parents own the cafe. "[At first] we had no idea it was her." Reports the Sydney Morning Herald.
Hilton's reported next stop was to party with Sam Branson, son of Sir Richard Branson.

Someday we will all realize,not just we who have at least a minimum standard, that she is just the shallow egocentric result of a family who has a history of getting pregnant in the back seat of chevy's. I hope the restaurant owners sanitized the area for the protection of paying customers. There is a blowup lifesized doll of mz hilton and I wouldn't want to accidentally puncture either the doll or the supposedly real one. But then maybe she would shrivel away into the nothingness she is if I did. Just a thought as fleeting as she should be.
It was probably an honest mistake, Paris probably thought her manager or friend had paid - give her the benefit of the doubt. Good onya Sloanes Cafe now that you have whinged about an $8 bill, she won't be going back there again - did she run so fast in her high heels you couldn't catch her to ask her to pay???

These stories amaze me.
Give the girl a break, when was the last time any of you sat to eat a burger with 20 photographers taking your picture and a crowd of people staring.
I love the fact that the small little burger bar would could only every dream of being written about in the press has the nerve to complain about a $9. bill
