Interesting Done And Dash Stories?

[Karen Nathan]

Paul Gonzalez, a man who signed up on multiple Dating Websites with the sole purpose of getting free dinners did this at least 20 times. He would set up a blind date at a Restaurant on say Plenty Of Fish Dating Website. On the blind date, he would order expensive food and drinks and drink and eat , go to the bathroom or answer a call and not come back, leaving his Blind Dates to pay for both of their meals. His scam was exposed when one of his early Victims, er, "Date," reported him on Social Media with his picture and it went really viral. His scam got so much attention, his face showed or still shows up on Google's first page under Dine And Dash! LOL. He was arrested for Defrauding Innkeepers although technically he didn't ACTUALLY commit Dine And Dashes since he left someone to pay the bill. Some Restaurant Owners/Managers felt extremely sorry for the ditched Woman and paid the Deadbeat eater's bill and only charged her for what she actually ordered, which was extremely nice. It turned out Paul also got a haircut and a hair color job at a Salon and ran without paying and even left with the smock! O.O

In another interesting Dine And Dash story, two Women and two men racked up like $300 at a Restaurant.... They all walked out on the bill when it was time to pay, but the two men drove off and left their dates at the Restaurant unexpectedly. The Women claimed their boyfriends were treating them and turned on them and abandoned them when it was time to pay and they didn't have the $300 to pay.... The Manager called the Police and one of the Women "Miraculously," found a Credit Card she "Forgot," she had and paid the entire bill but left NO tip.... All four were banned after that for attempting to dine and dash.

For some weird reason, my Auto Correct put "Done," when I actually wrote "Dine," in the Title and I couldn't edit the title when I realized what Auto Correct had done....

I’ve dine and dashed once in my life. Though dash isn’t necessarily accurate. About 15 years ago I took my 7-8 yr old nephew to a Chinese buffet. It’s one where you pay after you eat. We are, went up to pay and no one was at the register. I waited about 5 mins and then flagged down a waitress. She spoke nearly zero English. I pointed at the cashier, waved my debit card around etc. She appeared to understand and went to the back. 5 more mins go by and there is a line forming now. Same scenario plays out with the couple behind me. After about 15 mins I say fuck it and leave. I would have thrown a $20 on the counter or whatever but I had no cash.

Not surprisingly the place closed shortly thereafter. It’s now an amazing Japanese steakhouse which is my middle sons favorite place. So it all worked out.

I had a situation once, similar to jsearles', regarding dining and dashing, in the mid-2000s.

It was at Bubba Gump Shrimp on the Santa Monica Pier, with my then-girlfriend Miri.

Service was suuuuuuuuuuuuper slow the entire way. Like among the worst I ever had. At the end, we were sitting there for eternity when it came time to pay. After nobody came to present the bill, I had enough. I got up to look for someone to help me. The waitress was nowhere to be found, so I grabbed the first server I encountered and told them of the situation, and they got the manager for me.

After about 10 minutes more passed (I was very close to just walking out), the manager finally came. "Oh... I'm sorry, but your server has to close out the bill, and she's on break now," I was told.

This wasn't any kind of passive-aggressive jab against me. We hadn't had any issues there and hadn't complained about anything. The whole place was just a giant clusterfuck.

I told the manager that I absolutely refused to wait any longer. "I'm stating right now that I'm willing to pay what I owe. But I'm not waiting any longer. You're the manager. Either find a way to print my bill and accept payment, or I'm leaving. You can't hold me hostage here because you're refusing to take my payment in a timely fashion."

The manager kept asking me to "just please wait a little longer" and I refused. I told her I had waited like 45 minutes already, and was done.

After about 5 minutes of arguing, the manager actually erased my bill, as there was no way she could take it in place of the server (!!). I was actually in a generous mood, and was willing to still tip, but not that waitress.

"You know... I would like to tip someone, but not this server, who was terrible and absent," I said. "Can I give this to you to give this to the guys who wash dishes in the back, or some of the assistant cooks?"

"Ohhhh, sorry, that's against our policy," she replied.

"Okay, see ya", I said, and walked out without tipping.

This also often happens to me here as well. Auto correct is hell.
