This would never work in the US. The ambulance bill would be 5x higher than the restaurant bill.
20x
Must be one expensive meal to be 1/20th the cost of an American ambulance.
$50 vs $1000, rough approximations
My last ambulance ride was $3,400. After insurance I was still on the hook for 1,700 iirc
Jesus Christ and y’all still live in the US??
The exact ratio depends entirely on the your personal limit for when you see a bill and say “Yup, definitely heart attack worthy”
Big Costanza energy.
Come on Jerry, you know I’ve always wanted to pretend to be a Marine Biologist!
Serenity now!!!
The jerk store called.
From the headline, I thought this was twenty fake heart attacks for one meal. That would have been funnier. It’s still pretty funny that he did this at twenty distinct restaurants.
I’m gonna try doing it how I first read it. Omg, heart attack! Wait I’m better. Oh no, it’s happening again! Whew, false alarm. Holy shit, I’m dying! …
They didn’t buy the first 19 fake heart attacks, but he really sold it the twentieth time.
I wish I was that extroverted. I mean that’s 19 free meals and a nickname, what else do you want?
I dub thee “Nicky Desire” after your intense desire for a nickname.
What does this have to do with introversion vs extroversion? It seems completely unrelated.
One could easily be an introvert and be an asshole and take advantage of people this way.
“And what is the charge? Having a heart attack? A succulent Chinese heart attack?”
Pierce?
“You people are sick, this man is dying!”

Restaurants hate this one weird trick.
….I thought shit like this only happened in sitcoms.

All the buffs in the world won’t help if you roll a critical failure.
“Choke” - by Chuck Palahniuk
I came here to say that.
The first Palahniuk book I read, before I learn he wrote Fight Club
Lullaby and Survivor came next.

This guy having a real heart attack in a restaurant some time in the future.
“Oh no, just ignore Aidas. He is such a joker. Now would you like the lamb or the fish tonight?”
Succulent Chinese meal?
I see that you know your judo well.
Wouldn’t you be paying more in ambulance bills?
It’s in Europe
This sounds like a Michael Scott bit in The Office… I’m pretty sure something like that actually happened in The Office.
But were they big corporate restaurants? Because that’s victimless.
