Restaurant ethics: puking customers/paying the bill

This made me laugh out loud. Great story, well told, ethics question aside.

I was too nonplussed to laugh. This is a terrible story!! I wouldn't have stayed in the restaurant long enough to see how it turned out. Yuck!

I wouldn't have either. But then I'm pretty easily put off my food--for instance, earlier today, trying to eat lunch and catch up on CNN news at the same time, a catheter commercial cut my meal short.

There's no way I'd have left until that scene played out. 4-foot guy and dishwasher dealing with falling-down drunks would have been something to see! (Kinda doubt I'd have finished my meal, though.)

Hilarious story.
