Have you ever skipped out on paying the bill?

Did you get caught? Maybe your license plate was recorded perhaps?

Once. My wife and I were at this bar and after being served one pitcher between us, were totally ignored all night. The lady never took my credit card to run the tab, and come last call, never came back to see us. So we just got up and left.

Yes I did. Actually I left a penny on the table to show my digust. I was at Pizza Hut with a friend. There were only 3 other people in the restaraunt and we had to wait almost an hour to get a medium one topping pizza. Okay, no big deal...well after waiting 30 min. and telling our waiter 4 times "may we have the check" I finally got irritated and left. If it would have been busy, then fine I would have waited but IT WASN"T and I was more than a little ticked off.

no, and I never will. Do people realize that their waitperson is the one who gets stuck paying that bill that you skipped out on?

I waitress, and had someone walk out on me once. I tracked them down, but that was a bill for over $100 that I would have been stuck paying for if I hadn't.

no. i worked in the restaurant business for years. if you skip, your waiter or waitress has to pay your bill. it's a ****** thing to do to someone.

lol no but many times when we are forgotten in the corner, No one comes to check on you or take your order, they have you waiting and waiting before they pass back, when you are even lucky to grab their attention with out having to get up and wonder around the resturant looking for an employee to try to get someone to ring up your bill so that you can leave or order something else- yea, it has has crossed my mind but never have I done it or gotten angry enough at the waiter to make a horrid scene - especially if I know its busy.
I just get mad having to wait thats all.

I never have- been tempted once or twice in my younger years. I wasn't aware that the waiter/waitress had to pay on the dine and ditch tabs, so now I know I never will.

No I haven't and don't think that I could. Because everything I do or shall I say don't do in this case would effect someone else. Now poor service results in poor tip:)

No, i'm too chicken and I would be overwhelmed with guilt. I'm the type to pay as normal and leave a nice tip.
