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.
I keep a text file on all posters. joecity's moniker now appears amongst a list titled Well Dodgy.
You had frozen sausages and they wanted you to pay? Where was this Cafe?
I was kidding, you daft old fecker.
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)
My mate is really thick.
He once went into a take-away, paid for a meal and sneaked out without waiting for it.
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!!
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.
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.
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
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.
I once took bread and wine and wasn't asked to pay , strangly the chap blessed then me and I didnt even tip
Yeah I was a free-dinners kid all through school.
