I think there are numerous possible explanations without needing to invoke conspiracy theories of bribery and whatnot.
Someone else made a suggestion earlier in the thread that got buried - maybe they were just both there. Could have been that Doug went in before or after Rob and Cayla didn't see him. Maybe he was just walking around in view of the camera and didn't order, which would explain why the staff didn't notice him (presumably at 8:30am on a weekday they'd be rather preoccupied).
The stuff about taking photos with people sounds like bullshit, but Doug can't even tell a true story without throwing in a bunch of lies so to me that doesn't imply anything.
TH obviously wouldn't acknowledge that Rob was there as that would drag them even further into the shitstorm. I wouldn't have acknowledged Doug was there either, but maybe some naive PR manager just thought it would be the easiest way to make the story go away. As long as Doug was there any time that day their statement is true, and they haven't said that Rob *wasn't* there.
Either way, I hope councillors and the media in this city are paying attention to this 16 year old and learning what it means to have a spine.
