One time, my parents and I walked out of Applebees because the service was horrible.

I was accused of not paying a bill at Pizza Inn. I had a family emergency come up and the place was packed. I left a 20 on the table for a 10 bill and left, the waitress took the whole 20 as a tip and said I didn't pay. Luckily the manager knew me and it got settled.

Who would leave a 20 dollar tip on a 10 bill anyway.

Another time I was at Pizza Hut with my girlfriend and her kids. They were so slow that when I went and asked for the bill after an hour and a half they claimed to have lost it. I got a free meal for the wait.

No, but I was accused falsely of driving off without paying for my gas once!

That was friggin' embarrassing! This was waaaayyyy back in the day when a lot of gas stations didn't have a pay at the pump feature. People would actually go in and pay after they pumped their gas. Anyway, I went in and payed for my gas and bought a pack of smokes as well. I kept my receipt which I usually didn't.

Once I showed the receipt to the cop who pulled me over the whole matter was resolved pretty quickly....

To this day I press "yes" when the pay at the pump asks if I want a receipt.......

Yes, I did, but not on purpose. This happened back in the late 90s when I worked for a large insurance company in the National Sales department as the manager's assistant. All of us in the department had gone to a luncheon offsite to celebrate someone's landmark service anniversary. Some kind of mixup occurred where all the money was collected and my manager was supposed to charge the entire meal on his company credit card. As it turned out, my boss ended up having to leave a little earlier, but the problem was, unbeknownst to me, he took his credit card AND the money to pay for the meal with him! So I had assumed everything was taken care of and the rest of us went back to the office.

About an hour later, I got a call from the restaurant owner kindly informing me that we left without paying the bill! I was very apologetic and promised to have it taken care of immediately. Fortunately, one of the Account Managers (who also had a corporate credit card) paid for the meal (he and I went back to the restaurant) and he got reimbursed later on his expense report, and he and I explained to my manager the next day what had happened. Good thing the restaurant owner was nice about the whole thing!

Yes! After a huuuuge wait, I didn't just walk out without paying though. The service was inexcusable & I let the manager know I was leaving without paying first, they tried to say I couldn't & I basically said watch me & left

My friends did this to me when I was about 16. They got up and left and expected me to do the same.
I on the other hand Didnt have the nads to just leave and got stuck there looking like an A$$.

They got theirs, the cops came and I sure as heck wasnt getting into trouble with the law..
So I was a Rat and I wasnt sorry I did it either, I never felt so embarassed at any single time in my life since then..
I did pay my share of the bill which the owner of the place refused to take.
He also gave me a job doing dishes after school. (for pay)

Honestly does pay and I had a clear conscience.

Never. When I'm standing before St. Peter I'll have enough to answer for. I don't want to have him waving a bill from Bob's Big Boy in my face.
