Freebie Friday - Not the best way

It was around 700 pm and we decided to have dinner at place called Johnny Rockets.  It's probably not the healthiest type of food, but I was hungry and craving for hamburger.  Jeff loves this place specially their milk shake.  We went to the one close to home as it was on the way.  The place was not overly busy which was perfect.  We sat in our usual spot - in the bar area - although not a real bar.  The waitress gave us the menu and shortly after another waiter took our order.  While he was talking to us, two guys seated a couple of bar stools away, stood and started heading for the door.  The rest of the staff was busy and for some reason I ask our waiter, "did those guys just left and not paid for their meal".  The waiter was behind the counter and really couldn't jump over and ran after the guy.  He continued to take our order, spoke to his supervisor who immediately went out.  By this time the two guys have driven off and I was too late to get the license plate number.  It was a bit shocking to me that people would do it so casually and with other patrons in the restaurant.  Now the poor waiter will be short and will have to take a cut in his pay for the day because of some inconsiderate people who just ate and left.  What is interesting is that there's a big plaque on their wall that says - PLEASE PAY. The waiter said "maybe they were illiterate and couldn't read. I wonder if the two guys do it all the time to get a free meal.  It's too bad the restaurant did not have a camera so they can print the photo of the two undesireable people of San Jose.  On another note, the smores milk shake was awesome, the sweet potato fries were crispy, the hamburgers were cooked to perfection and the service was great.
