Theft Of Service

Julia was at Salvatore's Pizza Parlor in New York City. The restaurant was jammed packed, with the sounds of silverware clanking against the dishes, and chatter. She ordered a large supreme pizza, and a Diet Coke. The intoxicating aroma filled the entire restaurant.

Julia ate her pizza, savoring the taste of the cheese, other toppings like pepperoni, onions, peppers, and sausage, and the thick texture of the tomato sauce. Salvatore's Pizza Parlor was rated number ten in the Big Apple, by the New York Times.

The waitress came back with her bill. The total came down to $18.91, plus tax. There was only one problem.

Julia didn't have any money. The waitress wasn't pleased. Not having any money on hand, was bad for business. As a result, she was banned from ever entering the restaurant again.

"I'm so stupid," she said. "I wasted all my money on a taxi."
