From the South Florida Sun-Sentinel Fort Pierce woman chooses jail over paying Waffle House bill By Will Greenle | TCPalm.com 7:35 AM EDT, October 21, 2008 FORT PIERCE - Given the option of paying her $7.45 Waffle House check or going to jail, Maryanne O'Neill chose the latter.
The 66-year-old woman ordered coffee and a sandwich about 3:45 a.m. Saturday at the restaurant in the 7100 block of Okeechobee Road, a Waffle House worker told police in a report released Monday.
O'Neill finished both and then left, telling the Waffle House employee she was going across the street to see a friend but would return shortly.
The Waffle House worker notified authorities after O'Neill, of the 100 block of Maple Street, refused to settle the bill.

At least she’ll get three hots and a cot. Probably better than what she calls “home”.
Good point. At least she had a menu at the Waffle House.

I live just outside Ft Pierce, and can tell you the addresses involved with the story are known areas of drug use, prostitution, and who knows what else.Just like every American city, there are places decent folk avoid. Seems that law enforcement avoids these places too!
Thanks for the ping.
