“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?
My dear departed mother worked in the restaurant biz her whole life, she was the sweetest nicest hostess you'd ever want to meet, (truly). She made a very good living on tips as she worked in a high end dinner house with lots of big tippers. She also served the cocktails which always had the best tippers of all. 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.
Do you want a low-trust society? Because that’s how you get a low-trust society.
