I was drinking on Friday (surprise) and went to my favorite spot, a small pub downtown. I was there with a buddy for about 2 hours and we were feeling no pain.

All of a sudden, a pub-crawl showed up and the place was standing room only. I mean, I couldn't even take a piss. They left about 15 minutes later, but before they did, they STOLE THE MONEY FROM THE WAITRESSES FLOAT.

Now you are probably thinking that she deserved it for leaving the money on the tray, or in a position for being stolen, but let me assure you that the place was so packed someone could have taken my wallet out of my front pocket and I would never had known.

What did my buddy and I do? We chipped in and covered the float. YES, it was more than I was planning to spend on beer that night. Thinking that poor girl would have to cover that out of her own pocket just killed me. YES, we were treated like heroes, and I think the next hundred times we go back there we will be getting excellent service.

To think that someone would steal from a waitress... that's just low. To eat a meal and not pay for it, that is low. It sounds like that group had NO INTENTION IN PAYING. That's what gets me the most.

I would definitely err on the side of caution (e.g. leave lots of money) if this situation presented itself.
