In South Florida, I've seen my share of people who will do anything to get out of paying a restaurant bill, or even the tip to the waiter or waitress. Down in South Broward, we had an incident at a Chili's a few months ago where an older couple went in and ordered steaks. Both later on started complaining that the steaks were not cooked to their satisfaction, so they demanded the manager. The manager politely offered to cook them each a new steak to their liking and "no extra charges would apply". Nope, that was not good enough. They not only wanted new steaks, they also wanted their entire meal for free for the inconvenience. When the manager politely refused, the husband got up and punched the manager, and his wife was beating him with her purse. Both were arrested and charged with assault, but I never heard the outcome. (Good for the manager, standing his ground!)
In an Outback in West Palm, I witnessed a few years back two men, looked like father and son, doing the same thing. They accepted to have their steaks cooked to their liking, but while they were waiting for the new steaks, the two continued chomping away at the "undercooked" ones they didn't want to pay for. What gives there? Later on, after the check came and they still had to pay for the meal, they got "to go" boxes for the new steaks they couldn't finish eating.
It goes on and on though. My father also witnessed a couple in North Georgia, about 25 to 30 years of age. The wife went to the ladies room, then a few minutes later, the husband went to the men's room. Both never returned to their table after finishing their meal, and my father saw the wife coming out of the ladies room, get into her husband's car, and leave, the check unpaid. Their waitress then came over to my dad's table and asked if he saw the couple that was at the table, and my dad said he saw the husband going to the men's room, then leaving, and a moment later the wife leaving. Her response was, "Well, someone did it to us again, fifth time this week."
I'm pretty convinced that this "we're going to get our meals for free" thing is not just related to one person. Couples, like the husband and wife, mother and daughter, and/or father and son duo, I think, plan these type of things before they even get in the car and later walk into the restaurant. To them, it's an outing like going to the park. As in the case of the last couple that just ate and ran, one day they'll have to install security cameras in all restaurants, plus have camera's in the parking lot to get license plate numbers of those who have getaway cars waiting outside for them.
This is why anymore, us normal people only go out to eat as a special treat because of high restaurant prices. The reason they're going up is because we have to pay for scum of the Earth people like these mentioned here.
