trashy I know. I blacked out on cinco de mayo with it being my first time able to go out to a restaurant in months. This morning I woke up to a message from a girl on hinge (apparently our waitress) saying "hey aren't you the guy who made the girl cry at cinco de mayo and then left without paying your tab?"

I checked my credit card and sure enough I never paid. Now I have to go back and show my face while I go make it right.

Update: apparently the nice people at the table next to us picked up our tab and the girl I was with had gotten the lady's number earlier in the evening. So now we're contacting them to try to venmo them

Because I have a conscience and this place is down the street from my house which means I'll probably be back. Not to mention it was probably the waitress' first day of work in two months and she deserves her tip.

And no I walked home. Don't live in BR obviously

And when you go back and pay up, you'll prove to the staff that you're a stand up guy. So the next time you get black out drunk in their establishment, they're more likely to have your back.

When I was a heavy drinker I'd be the guy that woke up to realize that I'd paid my tab and 7 others too

Sounds like you need to go to some meetings after you make this right at the restaurant. You obviously have a drinking problem.

I have no idea what Hinge is but if you really have a conscience and intend to show your face in the restaurant again, add a 50% tip to the bill and slip your waitress $20 cash and an apology. The tip will get divided up amongst the workers but she can keep the $20 if you’re discrete.

Make sure the server is there before you go!

So you had a new match that was the waitress?

Yeah go pay up. It’s no big deal as this happens. As long as you make it right you are good.

You need to go back and pay but it's too late to act all stand up. It's been a week and the only reason you're going to pay up now is because you've been caught. Pay up and never go back. You don't deserve to and who the hell drinks that much anyway where you're out of control ? Are you 16 years old ?

Any walkouts when I was waiting/bartending resulted in the tab coming out of my pocket and a write up.
