Who says pot makes you forget stuff?

I love that this matters enough to take up space on what should be an informative news site, boy do we love our celebrity gossip even when one the micro scale

[MendoDave]

you serious?    hostage over the bill?  (drama queen).    you got stuff for which you owe money.    This is the most self centered bullshit post I've seen in a while.    Tell me you're kidding.

Absolutely not kidding at all. I should have added that If I have some cash that is close to what the guesstimated bill is, I'll leave that on the table instead of walking out. This method does not require a return trip later on to pay my bill. But it is their job to give me the bill. I have money, I'm willing to pay, Just don't make me sit there for 15 or 20 minutes looking at empty plates, while I wait for them to drop off the bill only to disappear  again for another 20 minutes to come and take the money! That's just a bunch of B.S. that I don't have to put up with, and neither should anybody else. I'm a pretty reasonable guy but jeez...

Self centered? I think not.

This has never happened to you?  Tell me your kidding.

You could solve that by only eating fast food or at gas stations.


But yeah, so what, some pot in a girl's purse.  just more insanity for the insta-news agencies to display to make us all think the country is going to hell.

You realize that when you skip on the bill it comes out of the waiter/waitresses pay that night, right? The company/restaurant isn't footing your unpaid bill. Show some class, walk up to the counter and ask for the bill if its taking too long.

Typically if I know I'm not ordering anything else, I ask for them to bring the bill when they bring my food out.


Does that require too much planning?

[MendoDave]

Look, just bring me the bill waitress, its your job. It also means a better tip if I don't have to sit around waiting. If they want to drop off the food and then disappear  for the next 25 minutes, while I eat the food and then sit there looking across the table at the person looking across at me. And were like where's the waiter/ waitress? Then not getting paid is their problem. It's not like I set out to do this stuff or sneak out the door or anything. They are just going to have to wait.

Or they can get their you know what together, and stop taking cigarette breaks, or fooling around with the cook, or whatever is going on and take care of their business.
& yea, I do go to the counter and if nobody is there, and I dont have appox. change to leave on the table it means a return visit at a more convenient   time.

Handing the customer the check shortly after the last chew is something referred to as "New York service" even though this rarely happens to me in NYC.  This technique is considered rude, since you are insinuating "your done eating, now get out of my restaurant".  Try making eye contact with your server, then make a writing motion.  If that doesn't work, make eye contact with any server.  If we go to a restaurant pre theater and time is tight, we simply ask that the check be brought with coffee, and sure enough, it is!

[Shortie]

My theory is, if you're enraged enough about the service, grow a pair, find the mamager, and politely discuss the matter. Otherwise, get your ass up, find your waitress, and politely ask for your bill. It's not rocket science. You came into their establishment to eat. No one twisted your arm. Take care of your bill and go eat elsewhere the next time.

P.S. - I challenge anyone trashing on less-than-perfect skin to post up their high school senior pic to prove that they are indeed perfect.

[eyeboy]

how can you blame this on weed?

if you have no brain to begin with how can you possibly kill any braincells with pot!?

a waste of weed alright, on HER!

Oh I have a pair. I look the waitress/ manager in the eye & politely discuss the matter of why I'm back to pay the check. You should see the look in their eye.

I rarely have to do this kind of stuff. I think I had to do this about twice in the last three years. Yeah the hand waving, get somebody else, etc. Seems like half the time that's what it takes anyway.
I like the New York Check.

[Grampa]

I use the Jedi mind trick when paying the bill.
