Who could have guessed that a Porsche-driving HCR member would join us at the Steiner Ranch Steakhouse Happy Hour, enjoy delicious food and drinks, and then skip out without paying the check? Unbelievable nerve, right?
Well, as it turns out, the culprit was none other thanthe HCR President, of all people! Such an embarrassing moment for me to admit, but I’ve since paid up, and there’s no longer a risk of my going to jail – whew!
