We used to laugh at stereotypes. This sort of material would have been prime for Chris Rock or all the way back to Don Rickles. We have lost our sense of humor and it sucks

I still laugh at stereotypes. We are only aloud to laugh at stereotypes when they are about Caucasians now. Everything else is not permitted.

Did the restaurant owners write the article? That is the question you should be asking.

My goodness

The article is based on a report from an Israeli news station

I guess that Jewish news station has an antisemtic agenda

To a betting man, those are pretty strong odds

Ahh OK.

That owner should be OK with no one coming back to settle the bill

Gotcha

This is so dumb.

No it isn't. They know what they ordered. They could come back and settle later. But apparently they don't.

Stealing is wrong, but this was about more than that. It's the "more than that" part of the OP I take issue with.

The Dine 'n Dash demographic in the US is probably going to force a lot of restaurants to move to a model of requiring payment at the time the order is placed.

I would be fine with a card scan at the time the waitress comes to the table and takes a drink order. This is how they do it at movie theaters that have dine-in service. It's fine. The only one's to complain will be those who don't intend to pay. Even if someone wants to pay cash, the restaurant can have a policy that a card scan is required to place the order. That might cost them a handful of customers, but overall would be far less costly than a bunch of dine-n-dash types every week.

Your post made me chuckle, Stout.

Now everyone resume super duper serious world. Grrrrrr!

Be truthful for a moment. Why do you take offense to this thread yet never feel the need to defend the dine and dash threads about black people on the OT that pop up once every few weeks

You hear what you want to hear. Wasn't the original post about stereotypes? Which one? I dont go on the OT forum. Dont even know what it is. But you sure are trying to make it "all jews steal" or whatever you're trying to say. Why dont YOU just come on out and say what you're trying to make a point of. Should be easy if it is so true.
