There is an old saying attributed to Mark Twain that you should dwell upon.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt.

A New Mexico woman with a hankering for Sonic, left the bill to a higher power, reportedly telling the restaurant employee, “This one’s on God” before she took off.
According to Las Cruces Sun News, local resident Delila Hernandez, 30, rode her bike to the fast-food joint this week and placed an order. When the server told her the amount she owed, Hernandez allegedly said, "This one's on God."
The employee replied, “That’s not how this works” and refused to give Hernandez the food. But she allegedly lunged at him to grab her order.
Fearful, reported Las Cruces Sun News, the employee handed over the food and called the police.
Officers from the Las Cruces Police Department later found Hernandez in a park eating her stolen lunch. Hernandez reportedly told the police that she understand her actions were wrong and was reluctant to eat the meal, but did so because she was “starving.”
According to court documents viewed by Yahoo Lifestyle, Hernandez will be charged with robbery. Although Roxanne Garcia-McElmell from the Third District District Attorney's Office told the Las Cruces Sun News that Hernandez may receive only a petty misdemeanor charge of $250 maximum and be forced to reimburse Sonic for the food.
A Sonic representative tells Yahoo Lifestyle in a statement, “On July 22, a woman took food from the drive-in without paying. The franchisee who owns and operates this location is not seeking reimbursement for the food and considers the matter closed, but is cooperating with local police as necessary.”

Shall we sin that grace may increase? May it never be!
Hernandez is a common "Illegal" name.
In God we trust. All others pay cash.
I wonder how much extra weight did the starving woman carry?

Why are beaners always pulling shit like this?
She refused to pay but the employee gave it to her anyway because fearful. Fearful! Fear! I was all askeered! I didn’t know what she was going to do to me. Maybe a spanking. Or unfriend me on Facebook. Good grief.
Aww she could have got three hots and a cot versus the trots if she just slapped a cop ....... (I’ll stop)

She was “starving”. I clicked the link hoping to see a picture of this “starving” woman, ribs sticking out and cheekbones protruding like shelves. Sadly there was no photo so I suspect she wasn’t, in fact, “starving”.
Is your last name Hernandez? :)

Actually taken from the Book of Proverbs.
She must have been on that gravely road!!! /adjusts tinfoil hat
Only been to Sonic a couple times, but at most (all?) fast-food joints payment in full is completed for they even start scooping your fries, mixing your shakes, wrapping your burger, etc. Pretty bizarre. I wonder if the perp here grabbed someone else’s order.
I hope they prosecute her for stealing and attack on the server.
Lock her up.
Sonic is like the car hops in Happy Days. They bring the order to your car, collect the payment, and hand you the food. It’s usually girls on roller scares.
“But she allegedly lunged at him to grab her order.”
She attacked him.
There's been people named "Hernandez" living in Las Cruces for 500 years.
Ah, got it. Thanks.
