Perth’s dine-and-dash queen has been caught skipping on her bill again, this time doing a runner from West Perth restaurant Gordon St Garage.

Lois Loder was chased down the street and photographed by the restaurant’s manager Callum Jennings yesterday, after having a croissant and mojito and leaving without paying.

The incident happened about 2.55pm and was reported to police. Mr Jennings said he only realised who his customer was as he attempted to coax her back inside to pay the $22.50 bill.

“It had been a crazy afternoon for us anyway because our power had been off for a few hours and she came in during that time,” he said.

“I was at the front counter processing bills when I saw her walking in. When you work in hospitality you get a bit of a vibe for people and she was giving me those vibes where I needed to watch her pretty closely.

“She said she was waiting for a friend and wanted a drink in the meantime.

“I explained to her that our power had been off so I couldn’t do much unless you wanted a cold drink. Usually people come to our place for coffee.”

Mr Jennings said just minutes after the food and drink were delivered to her table, Ms Loder upped and left suddenly without stopping to pay her bill.

“I waited to the point where I thought she was actually going to run, and followed her outside and explained to her that she needed to pay,” he said.

“She said to me she had left the money on the counter. I then said ‘Come inside and I will give you the change’, just to try and get her inside because I understood what she was doing.

“I tried to get her to come inside but she wasn’t having any of it, so I said ‘I’m going to take your photo if you are not going to come inside to pay’, and she said ‘You can’t do that’. She walked off and called me a psycho and I posted the picture in a hospitality group just to warn everyone else that she is back at it again.”

Ms Loder, 44, is facing 33 charges of fraud and 16 charges of attempted fraud, along with charges relating to stolen property, stealing and drugs.

She first made headlines in April, after restaurant Elmar’s In The Valley posted a picture of her and a man on social media in an attempt to identify them after they racked up a $250 dinner bill and left without paying. The post prompted several other businesses to claim they had also been defrauded by the pair.

The unpaid bills totalled thousands of dollars, including almost $2000 at hotel Quest West Perth, $960 at Ocean View Motel in North Beach, $500 at 3 Sheets Restaurant in Hillarys and $240 at The Royal on the Waterfront.

Ms Loder is due to appear in Perth Magistrate’s Court on October 9.
