Robert Irwin Pays Forgotten Bill, Boosts Restaurant

Robert Irwin, the 21-year-old wildlife warrior, returned to The Jetty Pavilion in Coffs Harbour to pay for a salad he inadvertently left without paying after being distracted by fans. He publicly admitted the mistake to his 7.6 million Instagram followers, apologized, and promised to settle the bill. Although the restaurant initially declined his offer to pay over the phone and requested a positive review instead, Irwin insisted on returning in person, leaving a generous tip. The incident was captured on video and led to a 50% increase in business for the restaurant. Owners praised Irwin's humility and joked about naming a salad after him, while Irwin expressed hope his actions would inspire more visitors. The story has been widely lauded as a display of honesty and integrity.
