I have had this happen as a party of one at a sports bar in Hallandale Beach, FL for lunch. The service was terrible with the order of a burger cooked rare took over 30 minutes to arrive and the fries were cold. The had put a sign at the front receiving area for seating, but not on the tables or menu. I complained and they were adamant about this being legal. This was in a time just after Covid and I decided to pay cash for the amount without any tip and walked out. I never heard from any police and decided to never go back.
