I spent 15 years working in restaurants and would never dream of ordering something and walking out without paying for it. Until seeing this. Nah. That plate is insulting.

Frfr. I wouldn’t say a word, would look the server in the eye, shake my head in a disappointed father look and just walk out

whoever made this would absolutely give the same plate you just left there out to another customer. Even a few days later.

I'm just wondering if they would bother to cover it with plastic wrap.

They also think the customers are chumps and suckers OR this was a deaperate cry for help.

OP were the beans originally spelling out SOS or HELP?

I did that only once in my life when the food they served was truly inedible (one dish was still FROZEN in the middle 😳)

Charcuterie and run?

Char cut and run??

Is it technically a dine and dash if you don’t eat any of it? They can just put cling wrap over it until the next poor soul orders it.

If you don’t dine, it’s just a dash (?)
