re: Couple of the Year: Runs Up Over a $100 Bill at Walk On's-Gonzales and Doesn't Pay

Why is this on the news? Whatever. I'm getting snozzberry sauce at work for Super Troopers 2. Can I get that on the news?

No, I don’t think anyone is excusing dining and dashing.

I’m just surprised a 100$ dine and dash made the nightly news.


And if they have any sense, now that they’ve been exposed, i’d Hightail it back to walk-ons and explain that you’d both had a bit to drink and thought the other had paid and in the confusion it was missed, then offer to pay the full amount plus a hefty tip.

Better than a fine or jail time and a record.

Some people are really trying to defend, rationalize, or excuse what this couple did? WTH?
Nevermind. It’s the OT

95% of them are just trolling.

I've heard this before, but it doesn't seem like it can be true. She gets fricked out of her tip, but how can she be held responsible for customers sneaking out? If a paying customer bitches about an entree or side being nasty and the manager comps them, does it come out of the cooks check?

After say age 17ish..a drunken "chew and screw/bite and bolt" is distasteful...even if leaving a large tip. Shame on these two criminals!

In Texas the establishment owner could have shot and killed them as they walked off. I'm not even kidding.

Hell, you might be able to make a case for a bystander who would have shot and killed them.

Three things are perfectly clear. What they did was:
1) Intentional
2) Courageous
3) Cool

I ate at Walk On's for lunch today. This could have been me.

It would be interesting...

A person is justified in using deadly force against another to protect land or tangible, movable property:

(1) if he would be justified in using force against the other under Section 9.41 ; ?and

(2) when and to the degree he reasonably believes the deadly force is immediately necessary:

(A) to prevent the other's imminent commission of arson, burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, theft during the nighttime, or criminal mischief during the nighttime; ?or

(B) to prevent the other who is fleeing immediately after committing burglary, robbery, aggravated robbery, or theft during the nighttime from escaping with the property; ?and

(3) he reasonably believes that:

(A) the land or property cannot be protected or recovered by any other means; ?or

(B) the use of force other than deadly force to protect or recover the land or property would expose the actor or another to a substantial risk of death or serious bodily injury.

You could shoot them at night if they were walking out with a cup and refused to stop. Walking out without paying isn't far removed.
