I feel this community is owed some straight answers even if you may be less than thrilled with the one's I'm going to give.

This is what we want.

Well good luck pressing "Take Off", then "Autopilot", then "Land"!

Depends on the state you live in actually. At least in my state (Texas) The restaurant can hold you liable for walkouts and ordering mistakes and broken things up until you make minimum wage.

Most restaurants don't do this because it's totally scummy and it should be considered a cost of business, but it's unfortunately not illegal at all.

There are plenty of people lobbying for the restaurants, there are very few people lobbying for the restaurant workers.

edit: a story I just remembered. At my first job waiting tables, I was working in a Turkish restaurant. Well, the whole restaurant was empty at the end of the lunch rush, and these two guys came in, ordered, ate half their meals and bailed, I chased after them in my car, got the license plate from their car, flipped them the bird and went back to work.

My then boss told me to never ever do that again, and that if people steal, "fuck them cheap bastards, they never work for shit. what I worried about is you not scumbags." It was the most eloquent thing he ever said. I ended up getting a turkish nickname from him and his brother which meant 'heart of the lion' in english. I've since forgotten what it is in turkish.

My last job waiting tables was at an IHOP (I post about this semi-frequently it seems like) but this story isn't about IHOP, it's about the red lobster a block down the road. They held their employees responsible for the full price of a dine and dash. and if they chased the people into the parking lot, or tried to stop them, they would be fired. So basically anyone could go there, eat a fine lobster meal, stand up in front of the server, walk out, and then the server would be billed full price for their meal, right out of their tips (and anyone who works in a restaurant knows thats a big hit). I trained a very nice gentleman at the IHOP who got fired for chasing people down into the parking lot and standing in front of their car. A few days later a regular of mine who was the chef at that red lobster offered me a job there, I'm willing to bet you can guess whether I accepted or declined.

Point is, some restaurants try to screw you, and others treat you like their family. Oh, and as a side note, that IHOP always treated me like family, until about a month before I quit, the tides started to turn.

One of the things mentione in the show was that people would always send a lot of things in right after they went into prison, and slowly less and less would come in.

I'm not an expert, but make an effort to see her often, and buy them some stuff from the outside consistently.
