Excellent idea.

When I was in college I dated a waitress. Restaurant policy at her place of employment was short and enforced. A patron walks out on a bill, waitress pays it in full, period, no exceptions.

Every restaurant in TV is open to the public. Does not matter who they were, or were they lived, it happens.
The women in Fenney Grill were not young, each had a dinner, and 3 drinks each, it was not a small bill the waitstaff had to pay.

What goes around comes around. Hopefully leftovers made them very sick!

Looks like doing this can have serious consequences.

Shoplifting and leaving without paying for food makes most of us furious.

They take from the server and from all of us. The measure is the amount of work we did to pay for a meal that they stole from the server, the establishment and society.

It is wrong.

I am hangin' with the ten commandments.

I would like to smack them or trip them or see them being cuffed and put in a squad car.

Hateful people!!!!!

This rates right up there with people who will go in, get a meal and then complain just to get it comped. Then, there are also those who will pick up cash tips off the table. When I tip in cash, I make it a point to hand it directly to the server.

Sadly, being a Villager or relocating to The Villages, does not change these kinds of people into nice. This behavior has nothing to do with their station in life, either. It isn't that they can't afford to pay; it's simply that they make a choice to mistreat others.

What a sad way to start Thanksgiving. Had I seen this, I would have paid their tab. I know why restaurants won't cover for their wait staff, but I think they should rethink it somewhat. Maybe cover "one time only" for a server?

When I tip in cash, which is ALWAYS, I make it a point to hand it directly to the server, with a big thank you.

Sadly, standard policy in most restaurants is that the server is responsible for paying for the check. Was this way when I served in college, hasn’t changed. The restaurant does not eat the bill. To make matters worse, if a server confronts a customer obviously leaving without paying, it is an automatic dismissal for the server. Many also have the policy that if a server has three walkouts in a 12-month period, it is an automatic termination. This happened to my daughter at Olive Garden and she’d been with them over 6 years!

More than once I’ve paid someone’s bill so the server wouldn’t have to. It is truly one of the more vile things a person can do, in my book.

In my opinion this is just a form of mental illness, like kleptomania. Often they can can afford to pay but they get a thrill from stealing

What a low life thing to do.

Must not have been raised right and old enough to know better!

KARMA.

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?

I couldn't agree more. I wish it had have been Instant Karma!
