40 plus years ago many of the restaurants in China Town In NYC didn't even have locks on the door. They were BYOB places and my friends would Chew and Screw, that's what they called it back then. Even though I'm no Angel

I never participated. If I had the money I paid the freight if I didn't I paid my share only.
If I had tried to run away with them I'm certain I would have gone back to pay. After all, I wasn't raised by Wolves. My parents tried hard to mold me to do proper things instinctively. It mainly worked but nobody's perfect. I was judged by the people who ran and it wasn't complimentary trust me. The good thing is I have no regrets, maybe only a few.
I swear I would have picked up the tab so the waiter wasn't stuck. Who knows why they did the running away thing, drugs are more heavily in the picture nowadays and that may have contributed to this terrible situation. I hope he didn't lose his job. Why don't we chip in and pick up the tab?
