Hopefully, you are not serious but using this as an analogy for walking out of a restaurant without paying. Otherwise, you could have spent the night in jail for shoplifting $4.00 worth of stuff.
That would be correct. I am amazed at the number of posters who seem to think that walking out of the restaurant and not paying was not only correct but would possibly teach the server an important tough lesson in life. I took that opinion and simply moved it to Walmart. Those who didn't see the analogy did seem to identify the action clearly as theft but somehow many don't see non-payment of a restaurant charge as theft.
