It is actually pretty easy to sneak out of a restaurant without paying your bill if you dine alone. Just don't make a scene and slip discreetly away. Best method is to actually go to the restroom after ordering your dessert and when you come out, head straight for the door and exit. Chances are slim anybody will realize you aren't coming back until you are long gone. So long as you don't go back there anytime soon, you are likely home free.

When I worked in restaurants, this happened from time to time and I don't think anybody ever got caught. I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often.

Better yet, go into a busy restaurant... 5 minutes before your friend walks in....Sit at the counter...Friend grabs seat next to you at the counter. Pretend ya don't know each other....You eat the works...the biggest dinner they got....Friend buys coffee and pie...You pick up his puny bill go to the register and pay...Your out....Friend waits a few minutes and goes to pay with your bill...At the register he tells them there is a mistake, he only had pie and coffee...Waitress backs him up and he's out...

Go to the next restaurant and switch, so the your friend can chow down....

Only takes a couple bucks to chow down....
