The Trivia section mentions that most restraunts would make you clean dishes if you couldn't pay the bills. That isn't true, because it would at least violet health codes. Plus they are already paying someone to do that job so it doesn't nothing to recomp the loses of the food. What would actually do is take your license or something of value like a cell phone to hold on as collateral until you came back with the money. If you are regular, they might forgo the colleteral and just ask you to pay up next time. There other options are to call the police or to just comp the meal.

Washing dishes is really just a fiction of Hollywood and doesn't happen in real life.
