“I would say, as an ex-waitress, that it would’ve been better that you tell the staff you’re leaving because you can’t wait anymore, but you’e not the asshole for leaving without paying for the meals you never got. There are at least three points where someone should have realized that they’d screwed up, and they didn’t. This is wholly on the restaurant. And considering that it seems like your food never even began to be prepared, you didn’t cost them anything by leaving either.”
