Is it okay to leave a restaurant without paying?

Question

after you have asked for the bill three times and no service came by at all?

Answer 1

That's like walking out of a department store with merchandise if you can't find a cashier. In other words, it's THEFT.

Your server would have to pay for your meal(s). The restaurant won't lose the money, but the server will, and he/she will be more attentive in future. So, go back to the place, explain what you did, and pay up.

Answer 2

Definitely not !!!  I can´t do it never, in any circumstance!  Try to ask to the manager or whatever but never leave without paying.

Answer 3

If you are taking a c**p at work and not at your work station, is ity okay for someone to steal from your area?  I would find the waiter, walk into the kitchen in you have to before you skip out....it will grab someones attention who works there.

Answer 4

Yes, that's what they call 'customer satisfaction'. But I think you'll end up in petty trouble. If I were you, I'd sue the manager's head.

Answer 5

No, it is never ok to leave without paying, no matter how bad the waitstaff.

Go and ask to speak to the manager, when he comes up and says, "how was everything tonight?" or whatever he comes up with, say,

"I am not happy"  Then calmly, lower your voice even, tell him what went on.

9 times out of 10 you will get a discount, or free meal.  I've even gotten gift certificates for more meals, as if I would use them.

But the point is: ask to speak to someone in charge, remain in control and state the problem in a low voice without getting upset or cussing, and they almost always will try to make you happy.

What you did can get you arrested.

Answer 6

Answer 9
