San Francisco’s last Denny’s diner has closed, with the franchise owner blaming vandalism and alleged dining and dashing for the store’s shuttering.
The restaurant location closed on Aug. 1 with a sign saying such displayed in a storefront window and a yellow Denny’s sign outside painted over as of Monday.
The owner of the restaurant, who previously closed another San Francisco location he owned in 2019, said people kept skipping out without paying their bills.
“We’re the only store left, and we operated until the last day that we could,” Denny’s franchisee Chris Haque told local news site SFGATE Monday. “The cost of doing business is tremendous. There’s vandalism, and people come and eat and walk away, and there’s no one to stop them.”

They should have made people pay before they got their food. Just like fast food places do.
This is why we need teleportation portals.
Put one on every road leading out of San Francisco and teleport every one who passes through it trying to leave San Francisco deep into an African Jungle.
Make a reality TV show out of them trying to survive.
Yep. But that might be discriminatory in a sit-down restaurant.....just kidding. More proof of a society in decline. You ain’t seen nothing yet if Trump isn’t elected.
The culprits are the Democrat party, including Greaseball Newsom and Willie Brown’s Mattress.
Why are snickers bars marked for sale at $996 in San Francisco?
Because shoplifting up to $995 isn’t treated as a crime there.
There's that sneaky "alleged" again. I'll bet the owner was just imagining people were leaving and not paying. Why else would the author toss in that "alleged" modifier?
I’d settle for a time portal that takes us back to 1956.
I’m surprised SF city hall or the state of California didn’t force that Denny’s location to remain open or else be punished severely.
Existential question du jour:
If a crime isn’t reported to the FBI by local law enforcement, is it really a crime?
Why is murder up and property crime down in Democrat cities?
Too difficult to hide the bodies.
In CA, those that care are leaving. Which means it’s only going to get worse.
Hmm, which people?
San Francisco... oh, where Kamala reigned. Great job she did.
Now there’s a lousy food desert.
Trump’s fault!

“Skipping out without paying”. Jammie Kammie/Timmy Walz voters. “Land of the Free” has taken on a whole new meaning since we started allowing freeloading foreigners to take over the joint. They’ve got a strange definition of “a new life” also. It means “a free ride on the backs of American taxpayers”. The bass turds have figured out all they have to do is vote for the DemonRATS. Alexis de Tocqueville stuff.
“and there’s no one to stop them”
I think I found the problem 🤔
👍
Based on the current state of San Francisco, they might actually feel right at home!
Dine n Dash was a late night thing at Dennys back in the 1970s.
