I already know the answer to this one : none of you because you're all honest folk. Indeed, once I actually felt very guilty because at this one place I paid by card and thought I'd added a £5 tip for our server. Later that same day I checked the transaction and only the bill had been charged. I knew this because I distinctly remembered the amount. I had messed up and not tapped the right button or followed the correct procedure or something, and the poor server must have thought I was a rotter. I even thought about going back to the place days later to find him and slip him a note. I knew his name. But I never went back, and although it was a very good meal I'm too embarrassed to go back again for another meal in case he is my server again and remembers what a tightwad I was.

Something happened like that to me when I bought some chips at a hotel last week…🥸 |

never. One of my college roommates did this with her boyfriend at expensive restaurants. I'm too afraid to be caught. btw you paid for your meal, stag. Just didn't tip. Don't feel bad.  |

Five years ago but it was completely by accident. Once I realized my error, I went back to remedy the situation.

Not a restaurant but I did walk out without paying for a jar of Kalamata Olives at a Publix, I use cloth bags and the bagger was filling and putting the bags in my cart while I was still unloading groceries. When I got to my car, there was the jar of olives in the corner under the "child seat". I went to the customer service desk and told them what happened and paid for the olives. I would not have enjoyed the olives if I didn't pay for them.

True story..
I was at Steak And Ale (restaurant chain here in the states) one time and there was a big piece of plastic in my food and my water had small chunks of lettuce in it.
I told the waiter about the drink and he came back with another water and it still had lettuce in it. I walked out without paying for it but I did inform the manager beforehand. He got very upset at my server.
