Dine-and-dash (or drink-and-dash) is Not Cool. 1) if you get caught, you can end up with a criminal record, which Really limits your life; 2) if you Don’t get caught, some businesses will make your server pay your tab out of their meager wages and tips- and they are generally having a hard enough time as it is. and 3) It reveals you as a totally classless, clueless, and self-entitled clod… and who needs That as their rep?
If you can’t afford drinks in a bar, no problem- take your cash, buy a bottle you Can afford, and invite some friends over to sit around and shoot the breeze Without having to shout at one another over the band or the background noise. It’s Much cheaper. And if they are Good friends, maybe they’ll bring a bottle along with them as well. (Just make sure that you have a sofa they can crash on, or a spare bed, so they don’t risk a DUI going home.)
