I’ve never done it before. Intentionally, that is.

One time, last year, a friend and I got up and started to walk out without paying. It was an honest mistake; we were having a great time and simply forgot we hadn’t paid. And the waiter chased us down and we paid, no problem.

Went to that same restaurant tonight, for the first time since the incident. The same waiter was working there, staring, tracking me the entire time. It was uncomfortable.

I left a monster tip.
