A friend of mine had to meet his local. The local guy booked for me back in mid/late nineties.
After my friend settled up, we quickly turned to discussing how many people stiff this guy and what he does to them when it happens.
It's like, you go bruise a guy up over a gambling debt...he goes home, the wife sees the bruises, calls the police....the whole thing gets ugly real fast.
Our society has too many protections for deadbeats. I am self employed, dealing with consumers. When someone stiffs me in my business, there is very little I can do about it.
