'Dine and dash' scams abound in tough times
For as long as there have been restaurants, customers have been stealing meals. Known commonly as a "dine and dash," guests leave without paying, stiffing operators on the victuals, servers on their tips and leaving both parties asking why. Restaurant employees share their experiences and offer tips for dealing with suspected dine-and-dashers.
