This couple thought they could get away with pulling a good ol' fashioned "dine and dash" but luckily the staff were able to pull their car's plates as they drove off. The police managed to locate the vehicle and let the couple know they had them on their radar. Unbeknownst to the couple, the police stuck around, and those "free" Bloody Marys they had been pouring down their throats were about to land them in a whole heap of trouble.

People who think the "dine and dash" is even remotely ok to do are the worst. There is something that is so fundamentally infuriating about someone who is brazen enough to dip out on paying for a meal. Thinking you're clever for subverting a societal norm and taking advantage of the proper and expected behavior for your own benefit shows how stupid, antisocial, and entitled you are.
