Robert Irwin Makes Up for His Accidental Dine and Dash in the Best Possible Way

When The Jetty Pavilion learned that Irwin didn’t pay, they didn’t mind one bit. They’re huge fans of Irwin, so they insisted he didn’t have to pay. All they asked was that he leave a good review for them. But being the creative, kind gentleman that Irwin is, he went above and beyond by telling this story to his over 8 million followers.

Not only is Irwin’s thoughtful review bringing in new customers, it’s also inspiring people to leave their own good reviews online. As you can see from the comments above, Irwin’s fans are just about as hilarious as the conservationist himself — who, by the way, will still be paying for his salad as soon as he can. Because of course he would!

“The Jetty Pavilion at Coffs Harbour ROCKS!” Irwin writes in the caption of his post. “I am so sorry again, and thank you for being so cool. Guys, go say g’day next time you’re in Coffs!”
