Ever not paid for a meal
It weren't a meal exactly. A breakfast in a cafe. I got a certain way of eating a breakfast which means I leave the sausage. Bacon n eggs till last.. I spoon the tomatoes mushrooms n beans overt toast set about them whilst they are still warm n think about the high value items still to come. The sausages were frozen inside n the bacon was flabby but hidden by the eggs which were crap n all. Even though I had eaten half I never paid. They wouldn't except half bat saying I should have informed them earlier. They don't believe my system either. So walked out not paying. First time ever. Feel bad now.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
Years ago, I was with my wife and two daughters in a "gastropub", and I use the term very generously indeed.
We all ordered together, but after ages (it wasn't particularly busy) they brought out my daughters' meals, and apologised for not having any clean cutlery! What were they supposed to do? - just watch their meals go cold?
Some time later, they brought ours out with cutlery, but I had already asked for the mgr.
The waitress tried to fob us off with an offer of a free dessert, but I was fuming so demanded to see the boss.
When he came, I told him what I thought of the lack of service, eventually he saw my point and waived the entire bill, plus drinks whilst we were eating.
He also gave us a voucher for another free meal and drinks -he served us himself next time.
So that's twice (though the first one was crap)

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
My mate is really thick.
He once went into a take-away, paid for a meal and sneaked out without waiting for it.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
The night jock stein died me and my mate did a runner from the Eurasian in cowbridge road but my mate pushed the table against in his rush to get out and pinned me to the wall so got a head start on me. I legged it to my house around the corner and he was hiding 3 doors up and when I asked why he said he thought if they had caught me and came to the house they wouldn't think of looking elsewhere - nice to have supportive mates!!

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
I've cancelled my order after waiting an hour at my table for the food to be served. Just lost my appetite after waiting so long. Others waited another 20 mins and theirs arrived so I sat there drinking whilst watching them eat.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
I wouldn't blame any body for not believing a word I say but I went on a date with a bird to the Shari Noor Indian in Barry n her tooth fell out when she was eating a curry. She put it in the pilau rice n said I'm not paying for that. It's got a tooth in it. I put a tenner on the table n left. I looked through the window n she was dipping her nan in the mint sauce. Fat cow.

I bet her Nan was none too pleased either.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
All you can eat chinese buffet in Rhondda. It was awful. Table of 5, I offered around 50% which I thought was far. They went nuts and threatened to call the Police. Stuck to my guns. I didnt feel awful, they were lucky to get that

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
Got caught doing a runner once in Harlesden, NW London. As we ran out from the restaurant (curry house - natch) A cop van happened to be driving past. We all gave fake names and one of us (not me) wrote a check for the meal.

Lambert were 2 quid when I was in school.
Used to buy a pack of 10 well for 5er minimum..buy a dinner ticket with the remaining 1.50 so I wouldn't starve and I'd keep the proceeds in a box under my bed.
Made a small fortune..

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
Twice ( well 3 times actually, but once the boss tore up the bill )
Once In Corfu, had a argument over the amount of drinks he had put on the bill, it was a shedload of beers, i know we were 6 blokes on holiday and had a good drink, but they took the pee and we worked out we had had a few less than on the bill, told the guy to do one
later that night ( well after the club closed in the town, the only club, so it was fairly easy to find us ) we were met by 20 locals all tooled up with baseball bats, 3 of us ran of leaving me and the other 2 behind to face the music, needless to say, a mass brawl took place and the police arrived, we spent the night in the cells, needless to say, still didnt pay the bill
another time in gourmet place, the food took so long to come out, it was over 1 hour, we got bored and were about the leave, some of the food came out, some didnt, so we had a snack and left
3rd was in the US, service was terrible, complained to the manager who tore up the bill and said " eat what you like on us ", we did, he even brought over a few cocktails, we returned in a few nights and he remembered us, made such a fuss of us, we were treated like royalty :thumbup:

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
Ordered a takeaway curry once, after an hour I rang to chase them up, told they were just leaving, another hour passed by, no curry. Rang them back to say forget it and went to bed. Another hour later, I hear a knock on the door and there’s this bloke with my curry, told him I’d gone to bed and I didn’t want it so he let me have it for nothing.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
In my younger days a bunch of us did a runner from a restaurant in Malta whilst on a college trip when we realised we didn't have anywhere near enough cash to pay the bill. The waiters chased us across the beach.
We got away but they came across a group of innocent classmates out sightseeing and made them pay. http://www.ccmb.co.uk/images/smiley_icons/xmashehe.gif

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
When the plastic bag charges first come in I stole my lunch from Asda or Tesco every week day for about 2 years.
I once walked out of Tesco with a trolley full of food.
Got caught nicking a 3 quid meal deal one day though and got banned from Tesco for 3 months.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
8 of us went for a meal in a portugese place. Food took over an hour but drinks were flowing so didn’t kick up too much of a fuss. When we did eventually get our food they forgot my mates missus food and said it would be another 45 minutes!!
My mate kicked off with the manager and the manager was so flustered he just agreed to wipe the bill. Over 300 quid. The food was fantastic and we felt pretty bad as it was a new place so left them 120 quid to cover the drinks.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
Funnily enough only last week.
Went for a curry with the relations and had to wait over an hour for it to arrive.
When it turned up it looked like a korma despite me having ordered a jalfrazi. It tasted of nothing so I complained and the manager turned up and tried to make me feel the one in the wrong. I was quite calm about the whole thing but explained that I was not prepared to eat the meal as it was and therefore was not going to pay. He stated that he was going to call the police and I said that I was quite happy for that to happen and they could taste it and make a decision on whether what was served up was acceptable. He then asked us all to leave , which was a bit of a result as the other three had finished theirs and we had had a few beers as well. All in all a very cheap night but I was starving so had to make do with toast when I got home.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
Tried to do.a runner from wood st curry house (the Agrabad i thinknit was called) late 70's early 80's.
I couldn't suss the lock which had to be turned through 540 degrees and got collared.
I tongue in cheek offered to do the washing up as i was skint.
They felt sorry for me and let me go, felt really bad.
Went back in a week later and paid up.

Re: Ever not paid for a meal
Two of us did a runner from a curry house on city road, we had about 80p between us. I was first to the door and discovered a two door system where you had to open the first and then shut it to be able to open the second, so when I shut the first door I shut it in my mates face. This made me piss myself laughing as I legged it up the street, I laughed even more when I looked back and saw my 6ft6in mate sprinting away with a little indian waiter hanging off his neck. I had to stop running because I was laughing so much and then spewed my meal all over the other waiter who had caught me up.

There's 2 Chinese local to me who know not to piss me about because I've got form for opening the door and taking the food and not paying. Tell them on the phone I'm going to do it before they arrive. I've had some take 2 hours others well over an hour..
They hesitate to take my order now but always do, and it's always nice and hot. In return I'm nice and polite and always tip. If i order in store I'll give a tip too...so to answer I don't know how many I've had.
Can also dispute a dominoes on PayPal so I've heard..cost of the ingredients is not worth arguing back over so they let it go.
