Valentine’s Day is usually packed with couples at diners celebrating the day of love and all that shebang but this guy decided to go on a mission – to get free food instead.
Stephen Bosner didn’t have a date on Valentine’s Day so he decided to dress himself up in a suit and pretended to wait for his non-existent “date” that “ffk” (stood up) on him at a steakhouse… hoping that they will sympathize him and offer him a free steak!
The waiter asked him whether he’s okay with a 10-minute wait and he said that it’s fine because his date “said she was running a bit late anyway.” And proceeded to leave a “let me know when you’re on your way” voicemail as the waiter passes by.
He even stuffed a shoebox into a paperbag and pretended he bought his date a present.
Then he proceeded to make himself look sadder and sadder as the night went along, including stuffing a whole loaf of bread into his mouth and drinking straight from the jug.
He then ordered his steak 15 minutes before the kitchen closed and faked a voicemail asking his date if she was still coming and “hope everything is okay.”
... and then he proceeded to CRY!
To make him look more pathetic, he ate a piece of mac and cheese that he dropped on the floor and stared at his untouched steak 25 minutes after the restaurant’s closing time.
After 2 hours of pretend sadness, a couple at the bar decided to pay for his meal. He then decided to donate $50 to the American Civil Liberties Union as a gesture to spread the love and left the waiter with a $20 tip.
The steakhouse also replied to his tweets, saying they will pay for his meal if he actually brings a date to the restaurant!
Some twitter users however aren’t too happy about what Stephen did, saying that he wasted the waiter’s time and that the restaurant could’ve earned much more if he didn’t take up the space.
What do you guys think? Is this a genius plan or was he just mean to the waiter? Let us know!
This waiter though:
