Melbourne: A wild scene unfolded at a Nando’s when a car smashed into it early Friday morning. It seems a frustrated customer took matters into their own hands.
The incident happened around 2:15 AM at the Nando’s on Barkly St in Footscray. Emergency services rushed to the scene after reports of the crash came in.
When police arrived, they found a white Volkswagen that was allegedly stolen, just sitting there. But what caught everyone’s eye was the message spray-painted on the car: “We don’t accept cash here.”
This message seems to be a jab at Nando’s recent decision to go cashless, which they announced back in May. A Reddit post had even shared a sign from the restaurant saying they were now “card only.”
Some folks were not happy about this change, feeling pretty outraged that cash payments were being dropped. It’s clear this topic has stirred up some strong feelings.
As for the crash, police set up a crime scene to figure out what exactly happened. They noted that no one was found at the scene, and it looks like the restaurant wasn’t broken into.
If anyone has info or footage from that night, they’re encouraged to reach out to Crime Stoppers. It’s a strange situation, and it’ll be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
