Funeral party of 20 dines and dashes after racking up $500 bill

After racking up a bill that exceeded over $500, a funeral party of 20 people walked out on their tab.

A group who was recently mourning the loss of a loved one chose to have their funeral reception at a seafood restaurant after the service.

However, most of the party chose to leave without paying after racking up a bill of over $500.

Not only that, but one woman threatened to shoot a restaurant staff member.

Only 18 out of 20 members of the funeral party paid for their meals

A group of 20 people recently walked out on their $542 tab at Crazy Cajun Seafood in Houston, Texas.

The members of the funeral party were allegedly unhappy with the 20% gratuity charge added to their bill, as most restaurants add the tip when the party’s over a certain number of people.

Though there were 20 people in attendance, only 18 chose to pay their part of the bill. 

Most everyone walked out amicably. However, one woman was caught on camera threatening to shoot restaurant staff members.

There was no initial retaliation, however, the group seemed to have gotten away with dining and dashing, as a video of the incident shows zero police involvement.

Those who have seen the viral moment on TikTok have commented on the dine and dash story, saying, “And people wonder why servers hate waiting on certain tables. It’s because they know.”

While another noted, “Gratuity is always added for large parties. At least the places I have been.”

Another viewer commented on the amount that each member of the funeral party would have had to pay, saying, “That bill divided by 20 is only $27 each — tip included. I spent that at Wendy’s today on just myself, lol.”

One person even mentioned how they wouldn’t be able to morally dine and dash, saying, “My conscience and my soul would never let me walk out without paying my tab.”
