Pay for my lunch, or go to HELL!
A Florida woman accused of skipping out on an $18.46 restaurant bill allegedly gave the cashier two options: Give her a free meal and go to heaven, or charge the credit card and go straight to hell.
The offer of biblical proportions happened on Jan. 14. Ruthena Lewis, 44, took her mother, 78-year-old Willie Lewis, to eat at the A&G restaurant in Winter Haven, Fla.
When it came time to pay, Lewis took her mom to the car and re-entered the restaurant to pay with a credit card. But the card was was declined. A&G cashier Crystal Henson told police that Lewis held the cancel button down when the charge was being processed.
According to the police report, Lewis then gave Henson a choice: If the meal was free, Henson would go to heaven. If she insisted on running the card through, "She would go to hell."
Lewis left the restaurant, leaving the business card of her church bishop, Joseph Lewis (no relation). She told restaurant employees to call him and he would pay the bill.
Restaurant employees called Winter Haven police instead. Lewis and her mother were arrested a short time later, NewsChief.com reported. They were charged with misdemeanors and later released.
Willie Lewis had $80 in her possession when she was arrested, according to the police report.
