The continuation of being dumped on in Restaurants needs to end.

That would be me. Coffee runs right through me and I wind up having to take a leak every 10 minutes for a while. I drink a Pepsi Zero or the like; gives me the caffeine, but doesn't run through me...
I had a Pepsi Zero the other day and it was really good!👍
 
Isn't that theft? You may not like the food so you wont go back or recommend the restaurant to others, but skipping out on the bill isn't cool. Often times it comes out of the servers pay. What if the cops were called. Would it be worth the hassle?
If money is taken, and stated product and/or service is not delivered wholly, then that is indeed theft. The customer would have been in their right to call the cops on the thieves operating out of the restaurant.

We're in a large metro area with hundreds of restaurants within a 5 mile radius. We only go to just a few. All the rest peddle horrible products, horrible service and criminal prices.

coffee is a Diuretic.
 
caffeine is caffeine, in 'soda', coffee, tea, chocolate.
Some have more, some less (about 95 mg of that drug in that lill restaurant cup w/the tea like look; 39 mg in that 21oz [a Mickie D's) cola). The "Zero" U drink has 0 mg of caffeine (or is that for the amount of sugar?)

"...a little espresso maker..."
over the 95mg in the 'tea cup' looking cup (8 oz) due to brewing style, finer grounds, etc
I have a 16 oz drip, ona slo day a 2nd 16 of decaf. If I gulped (fast) an expresso - I'd buzz & sweat (for 10 min?).
but dont know it's mg dose. A friend hasa Mickey D's w/2 'shots' probably 250 mg twice a day. A lady I know
drank a pot of coffee a day as she puttered around. When in the hosp for another issue after a day or so she
started failing. The doc was smart & asked her adult kid her intake (she werent home & in regular habits). He
prescribed an amount of nodoze or sumpin equivalent and she 'came back' shortly. Much of the world is on that
drug'n nicotine. Founders of this country (& others elsewhere of the era) buzzed on alcohol most the day (hard
cider here, wine elsewhere) and as I look back at the hard life and what they accomplished, I can understand it...

In an eat before paying restaurant, there is a contract. The restaurant has to serve food that is at least palatable before the customer is obligated to pay for it.
 
Also-some states have a lower wage for servers that is well below the NON SERVER minimum wage with the thought process being that will make it up in tips. That is a false assumption on many days.
Regardless, the employee still must be paid at least minimum wage even if the minimum wage isn't met with tips.

Yep-That's $7.25 in Utah. You won't get rich on that. It's not uncommon for servers not to be tipped on the local High Schools Homecoming night when the guys come in with their girls and order dinner but leave no tip.

My family has first hand knowledge of this.
 
Folks skip the profanity. Substituting gibberish for part of the word is bypassing the profanity filter.

I have faith everyone here can make their point without using vulgarity.
