Cartoon characters always end up doing the dishes, but in real life and you forgot cash or your card was declined or the like, what happens then? I'm entertaining the notion that the restaurant can simply send you a bill in the mail, but this neither seems likely nor reliable.

This is just the way I dealt with it. First of all, I couldn't risk someone "working it off" because if they got hurt, they'd sue me. So I'd say that there's an ATM half a block away and I'd keep their car keys and something else valuable (like a drivers license) until they got back. Worked every time. That way if they never showed up, I could call the cops with name and address. I never got stiffed.

No matter the circumstances,if you don't pay,it's considered "defrauding an inn keeper" under the law and is a crime.Call the police,kidnap a child,lock up the wife,whatever the necessity to insure payment.Obviously if it's a local or very unusual circumstances,other remedies exist.

this is why. in the eating place enterprise, the serving team isn't paid the comparable minimum salary as conventional workers. here in New Jersey they only get carry of $2 consistent with hour and the remainder of their income is from techniques. the tip is not extra yet remittance for provider. some eating places even comprise the tip "gratuity" on the verify. yet while not, the familiar for the buyer is 15% and 20% in places with extensive provider alongside with "French provider" the place various human beings attend on your needs. in case you do not choose to pay for provider, pass to places that don't grant the provider. You get lots extra provider from a waiter than you from a speedy nutrition place. *

I've worked in a few restaurants, and we always called the police. Tried to handle it quietly and discreetly, but definitely had them come take care of it. Technically, it is stealing.

They get your driver's license and license plate # and ask you to come back and pay. They don't usually want to call the cops and make a scene or have an unskilled person fooling around doing work in the back.

When I forgot my money at a restaurant, they made me go back home and get the remaining money I didn't have in my with me. They just didn't let me off the hook. Oh well.

If I check my wallet and determine I just can't afford it, I take a walk outside, get on my Crotch Rocket and leave :)
