Terry Foster: Don't Walk Out On Your Tab No Matter How Big You Are

There is a pretty high profile Detroit professional athlete who is enjoying himself at bars and restaurants and often does not play his tab. And one of his bills was as high as $400.

He did not pay the tab. He did not leave a tip. He just walked out.

His reason? He is a high profile Detroit professional athlete and the establishments should just be happy he came in and created a stir. I've heard this from a couple of bar owners and do not want to give out their names just in case. But it is not right. I do not care how much stir you create, you should pay your tab unless the bar manager or owner says the bill is on the house.

People put a lot of money into establishments and times are tough for even some of the bigger places. Chances are the athlete is in better shape than the bar owners.
