  • The problem is, these Jerks probably think it's funny, and this is probably not their first time doing this. If they are indeed tracked down, their names should be posted at ALL restaurants in the area to be on the lookout for these people. This is serious, folks! I only hope they don't live in the Downriver area, as we don't need people like this living in this area. --
  • This is how these people who have no money and who have no business in any restaurant, let alone a nice one, get the free meals that they think they are entitled to. Easier for a group of scumbags to walk out on the bill than to get their bridge cards refused. --
  • Find them. Arrest them. Convict them. Fine them HEAVILY. Do not waste societies resources incarcerating them. This is ALL about the MONEY. So make them pay.
    Not US!! And publicise this big-time. --
  • Even if you are not happy with the food or service you don't get the option to just walk out. The manager could have compensated them. We were unhappy with our service once at an Applebees (we didn't even really complain) and the manager refunded the meals and we had to pay for the drinks. It was above and beyond nice. What those people did was wrong. If you were not happy pay for what you had and leave it at that. Otherwise you are stealing. If you are not happy you just never go back there again or give a bad review to the place. You can express your views just not steal. --
