Simple. Run out of the premises, crash your car into the IHOP wall and run away.
The only problem is, it doesn't work.
This was the method used by four 'young women' at an IHOP in Detroit yesterday. The four teenagers decided that, for reasons which remain unexplained, they didn't want to pay for their pancake breakfasts. So they ran from the restaurant with a waitress in hot pursuit.
They got into their car and, again inexplicably, crashed the car into the side of the building.
"Mercury Cougar with your pancake, sir?"
The girls then legged it. (That, I do understand). One of them however, was properly brought up and her father insisted that his daughter return to IHOP and confess. He said that he had no idea what had brought the prank about, since his daughter had $200 in her purse. It's a long time since I was in an IHOP, but I imagine that, even if their prices have gone up since then, that would have covered the check.
No-one was hurt in the incident. The father, who must be the hero of this story, said "Thank God for that," he said. "This will be a learning experience for her. It will be a learning experience for all of us."
Not to eat breakfast at IHOP?
