Any place that permits long tabs to run like this is taking stupid risks.
Their hope is that the punter will spend more freely and pay up later. But this is ideal thinking and tourists doing a runner or being overcharged is common knowledge. They should know better!

As I just outlined - she has displayed his bills in the OP photos - it started in March thru May. Is it suggested she had no knowledge of this? that she didn't see these bills racking up? that she didn't check her daily income and expenditure for three months? that the barman was recording all of this yet hiding it from his boss before the big reveal? I've heard some strange tales in my time from bar owner friends but that would be a first.

Lets assume for fantasy's sake that the sacked bartender gave him a big line of credit in March, Chloe saw it, but not until April and rebuked the bartender and said no more. the next week she sees he has continued to let Chris drink their and extend his credit (presuming that not once when Chris drank there was she there to see it or question it), she gives him a final warning yet still, for unknown reasons and ones that in no obvious way benefit the bartender, he kept doing it, she didn't keep on checking up on a daily basis and was oblivious that Chris was still drinking there on extended credit until May. Yep sure, I believe that, it was all a dastardly plan by this barman

You are correct, reading again it sounds completely made up about the bartender. In the OP the messages pursuing payment are from the bar owner. Hey Chris! +12.5! And 2 days later - Hey Chris! +13!

So right there the owner knew about it and it was still happening. What exactly did the bartender do wrong?

I also didn't notice before, he owed over $800 at one point and owes half of that now.

Any contract or iou to prove?

Unless you force every single customer to pay for each single drink before he drinks it, there will be some temporary credit involved.
Sometimes this can build up very quickly. In our bars some customers rack up a bills of $200-300 in a few hours of drinking with the girls. One Japanese guy spent $1,800 recently in a long evening of drinking Chivas 18-years and buying hundreds of ladydrinks.
It’s not feasible to demand cash from them for every single drink they order.
