Which DLer has been skipping out on their bar tabs in San Francisco?

This is hilarious. I've never had the balls to do this, but this guy's done it at least 71 times!!! WTF?

Also, he seems to have steered clear of the Haight for some reason.

How does that even work when you have to give them a credit card to start a tab?

Dataloungers pay their bar tabs!

I'm r3 and I wonder if maybe he lives in the Haight so knew people would start recognizing him just from walking around/using public transportation in the area.

He also has steered clear of Japantown and Outer Sunset too.

I don't think it's that evil considering the insane markup on alcohol. He's going to caught if he keeps going at this rate.

He’s Luigi by the Bay! Fight the power!

I think we could solve this one, DL.

My thoughts exactly, R9, this has DL written all over it.

Call the National Guard!

Jared from Subway is still in prison so that’s one we can cross off the list.

What *is* it about the name Jared???

I’d say he’s a fratty gay barfly, yet he seems to also have avoided Cow Hollow-Union Street. 🤔

No, they don't. In the supermarket self-checkout threads, there will always be somebody saying they're stealing something.

One person isn't DL as a whole, r15.

There must be video of this cad from at least a few of the venues. We need to see if he’s hot before we can decide if we’re pro or con.

It was BrendaD!

Shhhkipping out in Shhanfranshishko!!

What bars allow you to drink without a credit card? Maybe if you knew the staff, but there's no way bars are handing out drinks without payment securement.

If they're starting a tab with a fraudulent CC, that's a bit different.

R4 is right. I call bullshit.

I have been a hard core regular at a few bars over the years, and they stopped asking for a card at some point, but if bartenders are not asking for payment/card at the time of orders for unknown customers they should be fired.

That said … a bartender once told me of a scam that he (and others) had fallen for. The customer gives the bartender a pre-paid, but empty Visa gift card, drinks all night, and then disappears, and the card had like a $1.00 on it.

Isn’t this in the beginning of WHAT’S UP DOC?

That many he has to be doing something fraudulent with cards. No way that many bartenders have let him do it on its honor.

And with that many bars, there should be multiple images of him available.

He’s surely white. Bartenders will give anything to white people

Winona Ryder Drinkypoos!

Jared Kushner?

Jareds are no good.

X is still a thing?

She's the drinkingest gal I ever heard of!

Jared!

Bartenders are being [italic]terrorized[/italic]! Madness on the loose!

Come out, come out, wherever you are Jared!

We know you're skulking about in the background here.

If/when he's caught, will each incident be treated as an individual crime or will the amount stolen at the 71 places be totaled to reach the $950 threshold for felony charges since it's a pattern.

It's San Francisco. He'll be given a mug of tea, a chat, and ROR'd.

I’m surprised this is even against the law in San Francisco.

I don't buy it. Word would've spread quickly after the first few occasions and bartenders would be on their guard and not allowing tabs. Plus we should have at least one CCTV image.

Prop 36 has passed, so if a person steals under $950 worth of property/merchandise they'll be prosecuted for a felony. This lovely fella was the first prosecuted under the law. He probably wasn't aware it passed or that it was even on the ballot. He stole two electric scooters that retailed for $879. 😆

Love his mouth breathing stare.

R15, I can understand stealing from a supermarket self-checkout. You’re not dealing with another human being, and for many people bagging your own groceries is annoying, even demeaning. But to go into a bar and talk to a bartender you intend to steal from—that’s creepy. I prefer to think that’s beneath most DLers.

Jared is a bitch

At r38, I forgot to say that they'll be charged with a felony if they have two prior convictions.

There are pictures on Facebook, but the Twitter OP won't share them.

[quote]How is there no pic?

[quote]there are but I am not going to post them. the people who need to know already know, so far he's not a danger to the public.

Jared sounds like the name of a Mormon Provocateur pretending to be in the Sons of Dan

Why this is bad news for the Harris/Walz New Year festivities.

I was going to say this sounds like hetero male behavior…until I saw the skipping part.

[quote]SF bartenders are currently being terrorized by a serial tab-skipper known only as "Jared."

Her drag name is Tippy Redrum.

Jared sounds like he’d be a great match for my friend Julie.

They're going to start putting the drinks behind plexi glass!

This won’t even be prosecuted.

[quote]Jared has been detained

Yesterday's Reddit post:

[quote]I fucking knew it was this guy! that hair. Tried this in Oakland eariler this year at my bar but the restaurant across the street already turned us on to his game. Hope it was worth it bud.

* * * * [quote]Some SF bars also don't even ask for a card until the end. It's part of the neighborliness/friendliness thing in the bar scene in this city. It's kind of the best part of the city, since it's tough to make permanent friends so sometimes you need to go to a bar alone to get out of the house and you can often at least have a chat with the bartender.That being said, yeah it can be abused pretty easy. And most places do ask for a card up front, but there are plenty where they will trust you.

The Twitter OP deleted his original post after seeing it on Reddit.

They served someone who looks homeless?

Someone linked his Instagram; it looks like he's seen better days.

Stealing is so low class. I never steal. Never have. Never will. I was raised better than that.

[Quote] Say your good mornings, Thank you’s and Good buy’s - Jared’s Instagram.

What about paying your bar tabs? Obviously a hard no.

Oops, should be “bye’s”

Oh dear.

I totally expected a white guy.

Who are you trying to lecture to, r57?

It's mental illness to be so dedicated to the petty theft of served drinks. He's got a beef. He's been disrespected. Seems like an unemployed person only would have the time for such nonsense.

‘We got him’
