This happened A LONG TIME ago when I still drove my 2000 Lexus RX300 back in my college days. It was about 9 years ago. I was in PA getting gas with my friend. We finished pumping it and I was asking for directions to the nearest McDonald's. My friend paid and I was asking for directions. The owner took my friend's money and started explaining to me how to get there. He spent about 5 minutes and I listened and repeated. I thanked him afterwards and left. About a few turns and a few miles down, I realized I totally forgot to pay him!!! I called my friend and asked if he paid for me. He's like, why would I pay? I thought you paid! Oops! I didnt feel like trying to get lost and drive back so I kept going. The owner forgot, and I forgot.

The same thing hapenned to me way back in the day. I did turn around and go back. The cashier was very thankful since they didn't have any cameras and nobody saw my license plate.

Get caught doing that now without going back and your license will get suspended.

A drive off is a great way to get arrested. You were very lucky,

No problem .... but unless you send me $5,000,000 immediately I'm telling the Feds who you are!
