Why does someone have to pay for their meal before they get it?

I eaten there and I never had to pay before I received my meal. Now this may be something new. But I never had to pay first

It's weird, because I have heard this rumor before, but it has never been the case when I have gone here (maybe 6 times total). The answer before was that during certain times, there's a higher chance of someone walking their tab when the restaurant is busy (ie, waitresses not paying enough attention). However, this is definitely not a good policy. Best to wait after the meal is eaten to see if the service is good for the tip. However, in my review on this place, the service needs improvement before they show "suggested tip amount" on the receipts before or after the meal.

We didn't

I take customers there everyday. I've never heard that before. Maybe it's a night issue of people walking their tab. Did you go at night?

I paid after I ate.
