I'm not shocked they did this I'm shocked restaurants aren't making people pay in advance.

Black skin seems to be some kind of magic voodoo these days.

“I’m not shocked they did this I’m shocked restaurants aren’t making people pay in advance.“

I would not be upset about this requirement from a reputable restaurant. Maybe pay ahead for the food and later for the drink, the credit card companies should give the restaurant a break on the transaction fees.

They must be pretty good at this, mom and dad don’t look like they’ve missed very many meals. I don’t think my family could have done this; we didn’t get along all that well. Certainly, it took organization, teamwork and planning.

“left an Orlando restaurant without paying”

They do it all the time....if it’s not dine and dash it’s complain about the food to get a considerable discount or an outright free meal.

See it many times.

Also, the reputation for not tipping is well deserved.

It’s all justified however. You see, America was built on the backs of their slave ancestors so the country owes them (at least that’s their excuse to do what they do).....and no matter what they are given.....it will never be enough........EVER.

This is what 60 years of welfare has gotten us.

Ain’t it great?

Social media has already identified the family.

Adeliah Jones in a restaurant in Florida! They need to hand her picture out so she will never be served anywhere again!

My niece, a kind gentle soul, worked as a waitress while going to college over twenty years ago. After dealing with the no tipping demographic, it opened her eyes to how things worked in the real world.

Seat them, hand them a menu, take their order, hand them the bill, extract payment, serve food. If you want more, we have your CC on file for the duration of your visit. No take backs. If you don't like our food or service don't come back.

ALERT!!! This transaction is being A/V recorded. This is why...

I saw a vid earlier, a woman had been trespassed for rejecting the billing on her visa card for 4 previous visits. She had attempted to come back and was caught. They told her in no uncertain words GTFO! A short video sent to a Visa rep would have gone a long way for the restaurant. Record everything.

At least 3 smartphones and the late-model car all pinged the restaurant’s wifi. Timestamps, plus a little this Fing and that Fing, a dash of Flock, easy peasy. If they were stupid enough to log into The Diner’s free wifi, they could be arrested tonight.

The buffets I used to go to charged you upfront. There was also an unspoken time limit on the more gluttonous guests.
