I'm amazed he spent $63.77 on his meal at Red Lobster.

We had a “frequent flyer” in our town out west in the 80’s that would play that game at the local Denny’s. He would have an “attack”, ambulance would respond. Gurney him,,get him outside and he’d suddenly recover and decline further treatment and transportation to the hospital.

I never caught one of those runs.

He was subsequently banned from that restaurant, the previous one in that building and another coffee shop in town.
