Does this work if you eat at a restaurant then pretend like you just realized your wallet or card is missing? Do they still call the police or do they let you go free?

I don't think they'd let you go free. Some of them would definitely be suspicious, though.

A good rule of thumb is if you can't afford it, don't have it.

they'd probably ask you to call someone to come over and pay your bill.

They'll ask you for your phone # or a way they can get a hold of you so they know you'll return to pay the bill after you acquired your money.

If you fail to provide, they'll likely alert the authorities.

Most managers have a tendency to just let it go rather than deal with the hassles or make a scene. A lot of poor people will typically just say they were very dissatisfied with the meal and get off that way. Ghetto folks do it by making a big scene, being loud and make a quick exit. My wife was in the restaurant business for quite some time, It actually happens fairly often.

I've had this actually happen to me once, but I live in a fairly small town and the people knew me as a regular customer so they said I could pay next time. I went back down the next day and paid plus got two days worth of take out in thanks. If you really make a genuine effort to try to find a way to pay and assure they can find you if you can't, I think it'll be alright. Unless it's some Denny's off of a main freeway or something, then you're screwed.

It'd probably be easier to just fake a heart attack.

Hope you like washing dishes or a nice set of cuffs if you try that stunt.

You must be joking. Don't do the crime, if you can't do the times.

I've seen this happen several times. Every time it's happened though the individuals making a scene were severely overweight. If you can afford to get that fat you can afford to pay a restaurant tab.

Please do not talk about illegal activities on GameSpot. That includes planning to steal meals.
