Eating & Running

And just one example of the 'bad behaviour' that is rife in society today. The latest drive by shooting has seriously injured yet another child, alongside 3 adults. My own theory is lack of discipline and bad parenting but I feel at a loss as to how we can combat the evil within some human hearts.

I feel the idea of national service to be a good one for these thugs and criminals, but as a separate institution not part of our armed services, and not to include those who intend to study at university or take up a job or apprenticeship. In other words only scum who will hopefully benefit from being disciplined by harder men than them. But of course the pc/woke brigade would be apoplectic at the mere thought of this, they would sooner innocents were victims.

This has always happened it appears worse because of social media and we are way more aware of it. Hlad they were caught and locked up. It's wrong as businesses go under cos of people like this. It's one good thing about media and technology we can name and shame easier

I agree with the bad parenting scenario , but it goes back further than the parents , possibly to the grandparents

As the generations advance the blame goes further back , add to this social media influences and you have the perfect storm

We now live in a couldn't care less society and this extends to authorities and even governments , so what hope has the man , or woman, to be 'politically' correct , in the street got

Its not just scum people running from restaurants , its happening in supermarkets , petrol stations and retail stores , theft for some is part of their daily life , some out of necessity , but most out of pure greed , those who want something for nothing

Its got to such an extent that there are not enough police or security guards to cover it all , and they still class this type of crime as low level , so the people who suffer are the rest of us in increased prices to make up for the loss in theft

I would like to see them try this in any of the restaurants in London's China Town. It could get pretty messy but it sure would be a great big piece of KARMA coming their way. It's amazing how annoyed the Chinese get about this sort of thing and they make excellent Chop Suey lol

This happened in my daughters pub. A group of four men ordered the expensive food on the menu. They said to the barmaid they had an emergency call outside and never came back. My daughter watched it back on her cameras and they were wearing shirts with a phone number on. She rang it and told them they forgot to pay. They said they would come back but never did.

This is why it is better to pay up front at point of order rather than after service of a meal. Restaurants should do this and then it wouldn’t be an issue.

I've seen this kind of thing happen, we were in a restaurant and 3 lads bolted from the restaurant without paying
