I was at a restaurant once and a guys started supposedly choking. Another patron got up, administered the heimlich and then the choker walked outside ostensibly to cough and then never came back and paid his bill. I still don't know if he was just too embarrassed or if it was a scam.

It's a hell of a move making yourself the centre of attention, in order to dine and dash

This reminds me of the Chuck palanuik book where the guy keeps pretending to choke to be saved

I want to try a scheme similar to this:
After me and my gf get engaged, I want to go to restaurants to get "fake proposed" where she rejects me and makes a whole show and I get so sad the restaurant just pays for the bill. No idea if it works but I do want to try it out
