I guess a lot of it is regional. It depends upon how the locals are. If 
lots of people in a city do this, then the restaurants and bars act 
accordingly.

Here, they don't ask for a credit card or anything before hand, people 
walking out on their tab must not be a major problem.

Says a lot for the folks in your area...
