An entitled customer tries to dine in dash, walking out on his bill, and refusing to pay.

Things got so bad that we had to block all the exits to prevent him from leaving, as well as call the cops.

Here's what happened.

First off, this guy seemed kinda sketchy from the start.

He had poor hygiene, he was mumbling his words, and he was avoiding eye contact with just about everybody.

But I figured maybe he was just having a bad day and wanted to be left alone.

Then, gradually over the course of serving him,

I got the sense that he was gonna try to leave without paying.

And sure enough, I was right.

First, he tried to duck out through the back exit near the restrooms.

But by that point, we had caught on and had a couple co-workers camping right there waiting for him.

But when he came back out and saw that we were waiting for him, he went back to the lobby and tried to leave through the front.

But I ran back around and was waiting for him there too.

Deprived of a clean escape, he sulked back to his table in the corner of the restaurant, and I brought him his check.

He spent a long time looking at it, presumably trying to figure out how to get out of paying for it,

if not just delaying the inevitable.

In between helping my other tables, I saw him pull out some piece of paper out of his pocket,

and start cross-referencing them with the check.

It was weird, but hey, I like to give people the benefit of the doubt,

and figured maybe he was checking a bankruptcy to see how much money he had or something like that.

But boy was I wrong.

Eventually, he had the gall to just get up and try walking out the front exit again,
