Waitresses are stuck footing the bill for dine and dashes well over the majority of the time. What actually happens and what the law allows for that might not be on the same page.
High-end places might be a bit different, but the run of the mill bar I can guarantee it having been part of the industry. Not to say they'll garnish wages or anything, but if your tips in your pocket aren't covering it and you're still short and refusing to pay, enjoy opening up, prepping and being sent home before the lunch rush until you quit if your managers doesn't like you.
I mean practically the same laws that prevent something like this prevent places from hiring based on looks and gender, but we know that happens all the time as well.
