The fine art of Dine & Dash

In the case of St. Paul Chipotle thief Masud Ali and his friends we see an extension of the culture of victimization. Ali and friends turned up this past Thursday at the Chipotle on Grand Avenue, in one of St. Paul’s nicest neighborhoods. Recognized by store manager Dominique Moran to be part of a group from the previous Tuesday that refused to pay for their meal, Moran asked Ali to show her the money before preparing their order this time around.

Ali and friends purported to take offense. Ali posted the video of his encounter on Twitter (below). The video went viral. See the full Twitter thread here.

I wasn't able to Preview this post as I kept getting a message of the message body being empty.

I don't know about Chipolte, but in any other fast food restaurant, I always had to pay when I ordered, not when the meal was given to me.  If that's the way Chipolte does it, how could this Ali person get away with a meal he didn't pay for?

In this particular case two times after the food was made his debit card would not work and in both cases the manager actually gave him the food telling him to bring in money the next time.. well she finally had enough.
It was not actually dine and dash like they did to Applebees, eat the meal then run out.

At Chipolte they fix your food in a line as you walk down the counter and tell them what you want.  So, you start out with your empty burrito wrapper, move down and tell them what meat you want, move down for beans, move down for salsas, etc.  The check out is at the end of the line, so as they're wrapping your food up for you, you pay for it.  So your food is prepared prior to paying for it, but they don't necessarily give it to you prior to paying.

It turns out the head thief, Masud Ali,  also hates Jews. Twitter reveals all.

Thank you both. I have never been in a Chipolte, and since all the e-coli/salmonella outbreaks, I have had no inclination to go there. 

Another one who thinks he is entitled.  I suppose too if he is Muslim, he thinks it's ok to cheat and steal from the infidels.

I heard a rumor that when you have dinner parties people don't Dine and Dash......they just Dash.
