Here is what I don't understand about this whole thing

Why plan on going out to dinner if you intend on running out of the restaurant like cowards and thieves without paying a cent? Is it like some kind of cheap ( CHEAP

being the keyword here ) thrill? I remember this back in San Diego years ago, when a group of people got together beforehand and decided to have an elaborate dinner at a

moderate-expensive place, and then with their track shoes on bolt out the exit door to make a dash for their car.

It's called "Dine And Dash"

and unfortunately it's been happening lately here in Bismarck. I guess you call it a trend, of stupidity. Back in 2022 kxnet.com reported that recent studies "...show that around 20

percent of people typically dine and dash when out? In Bismarck at the local Sickies restaurant, this happens more than you think" That STILL goes on.

Ok look, I'm not perfect, I did many dumb things when I was younger

So I'm guessing some people may respond to what I'm saying by thinking "Ahh what's the big deal, it's only 40 dollars, it's not like the restaurant will go out of business..."

Think to yourself the next time you are pondering the thought of another gutless sprint, when that happens the server that just spent a half-hour waiting on you gets NOTHING.

They earn a living depending on tips because their hourly wage is way below the norm. Try to put yourself in their shoes before you lace up your own.

"Walking out on a bill “dine and dash,” significantly impacts our hardworking staff and the business as a whole"

Yesterday another business had this happen - Bismarck Nara Ramen.

"Today, this lunch, we had yet another upsetting experience: a customer dined and dashed, sneaking away while we were busy preparing his dessert! It’s truly
disheartening!
Walking out on a bill “dine and dash,” significantly impacts our hardworking staff and the business as a whole. Each unpaid meal not only results in financial loss but also affects
employee morale. In the current economic downturn, every customer and every payment is crucial to our survival".

 By the way, someone offered a $500 reward for the identification, arrest, and conviction of the individual responsible for stealing from Nara Ramen
