A family of seven who tucked into an expensive feast brazenly left an Orlando restaurant without paying, it has been claimed.

The group were caught on surveillance footage consuming a spread worth $300 before leaving @ The Diner, apparently without settling their hefty tab on Sunday.

The Florida restaurant is now seeking to identify the alleged dine-and-dashers, who are said to have taken off during its busiest shift of the day.

It wrote on Instagram that the family ordered multiple dishes and appeared to enjoy a leisurely meal before carrying out their premeditated escape in stages.

The restaurant, which shared footage of the incident, alleged that staff only realized what had happened after the group had already left the premises, leaving servers scrambling to work out what had gone wrong.

In the clip, a man wearing a white vest is seen leading the group’s exit, handing another woman in the group car keys as she slips away before pulling up in the getaway car outside.

Moments later, he quickly follows behind with a young boy in tow.

The clip shows the rest of the group remaining at the table, eagerly helping themselves to the extensive spread before another woman and a young girl make their move towards the exit.

Not obvious to some here. That’s why I postef it.

Why would the ‘good ones’ even bother to speak up on a site that is constantly conflating ALL of them with the worst of their culture?

Free Republic isn’t exactly welcoming to Black folks; and I’ve been reading it since its inception.

[Fury]

Good point.

Doubt it registers with some of the posters that have made broad brush comments about black Americans.

Looks like mama's been IDd ...

The black mother who made her family walk out on a $300 restaurant bill in Orlando, Florida, has been identified as Adeliah Jones, a resident of Flint, Michigan, who is vacationing in Florida.

when congress got rid of 3 strike rules, crime went up, most of those felons had 4 or 5 lesser felony and misdemeanors that were trashed to save the prosecution and court money and would have added nothing to the sentences but skew the statistics to say crime is down.

to British Man in a white vest translates to white wifebeater.

"The reputation for black folks being the worst tippers, and even non-tippers was true according to her experience, and not just a trope as many of the defenders of minorities will claim."

I can second that from personal experience. Even my fellow waiters who were themselves black, wanted nothing to do with them.

Been in them a few times. The only Australian thing I could see on the menu was some wine from Australia not even any beer. Years ago Fosters beer used to advertise heavily that they were imported. If you looked closely on a can it said brewed in Canada.

My Mom was not racist at all. She literally loved everyone and was the nicest sweetest person. But she mentioned in passing on more than a time or two when the subject came up that black folks didn't tip much, if they even did at all, but they were also the most demanding, unruly, rude and unreasonable people to wait on. She said it was well known in her restaurant, and no one wanted to take the tables where blacks were seated, of course they did and treated all of them kindly with the respect afforded to all of their patrons, but they never looked forward to taking those tables for all of those reasons. Any guy in a tank top would not have been allowed to be seated in that dinner house anyway.

Don't get me wrong, many black folks are fine and really good and nice people and they tip wait staff as well as anyone else, and it's a shame they get tainted with the reputation that other blacks have given them.

Din Do (burp, BURRRRRRPPPP!) Nuffin!

Translated in to pidgin, soon to be ax-urban...

"Sha na reparations"

The story was all over X today. The restaurant has the video up on their Instagram and FB. They had the cell number of the woman probably because they were on a waitlist. They called and the woman told them to post the video as she was famous and it’d give her more clout. The Diner posted part of the phone call on Instagram and FB.

Do you want a low-trust society? Because that’s how you get a low-trust society.

Them...Avoid them.

If you looked closely on a can it said brewed in Canada.

Fosters beer is brewed in Fort Worth Texas for the US market. It's now owned by the Asahi brewing company of Japan.

I’m going by my recollection of 30 years ago. I haven’t been in the US for over 20 years.

I think Fr is fair and open and welcoming to conservative people,no matter color or race or ethnicity.

[Fury]

Really?

Comments like “It is always them” (which isn’t even a factual statement), is welcoming?

Couldn’t posters comment on these lawbreaking slobs without making broad brush statements on black Americans as a race?

[jmcenanly]

You’ve just described the business model of the fast food restaurants

[Vaduz]

Looks like they can’t use the race card the restaurant appears to be black owned.

It’s down to the lazy greedy slobs list.
