* ''Series/{{Intimate}}'': When Leo starts working at a café, the guys assume they all can eat there for free, only for the annoyed owner to tell them Leo himself can have a discount and that's it. Emil and Max then leave separately, both telling Leo (who's sitting outside talking to his recent hookup Jonas instead of working) the other has paid. Leo half-heartedly yells at Max to come back, but when Jonas invites him to his place, he [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere decides to just leave as well.]]

* The music video for "Take On Me" by a-ha has a woman pulled by a man into the newspaper comic strip she's reading at a restaurant. When her waitress comes by for payment, she doesn't see her there and, assuming she's dined and dashed, angrily crumples up the newspaper (with her still in it) and throws it into the trash can. When the woman gets out of the newspaper, she finds herself behind the sales counter.

* ''Literature/DianaTregarde'': In ''Jinx High'', [[spoiler:Fay Harper]] is reminded that she needs to feed her demon allies soon, and then sees two [[RabidCop asshole cops]] outside their jurisdiction hassling some teens. When the cops come into the restaurant she's having lunch at, she frames herself for this on the (correct) assumption that the restaurant manager will send those cops after her instead of wasting time calling 911. Cue two asshole cops becoming Demon Chow. She then runs back in claiming it was a case of ForgotToPayTheBill, lest the manager give up waiting for those cops to come back and call 911 anyway.

* ''ComicStrip/{{Popeye}}'': Popeye's friend J. Wellington Wimpy, an infamous mooch, pulls this constantly, as evidenced by his {{Catchphrase}}: "I'd gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today". He will often use this phrase to scrounge off one of his [[TrademarkFavoriteFood beloved hamburgers]] from a restaurant, or otherwise make one of his friends pay for him. Naturally, [[BlatantLies he never comes back on Tuesday]]. Despite the fact that his technique rarely changes, he keeps getting away with it. Recurring character Rough House, who owns a diner, hates Wimpy because of the many hamburgers he has managed to sponge off him.
