This would never work in the US. The ambulance bill would be 5x higher than the restaurant bill.

20x

Must be one expensive meal to be 1/20th the cost of an American ambulance.
morphballganon@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y
$50 vs $1000, rough approximations

My last ambulance ride was $3,400. After insurance I was still on the hook for 1,700 iirc

The exact ratio depends entirely on the your personal limit for when you see a bill and say "Yup, definitely heart attack worthy"

After the 15th time people started getting suspicious
Speculater@lemmy.world · 15 pts · 2y
But it was the 20th that really gave him away.

From the headline, I thought this was twenty fake heart attacks for one meal. That would have been funnier. It’s still pretty funny that he did this at twenty distinct restaurants.
I’m gonna try doing it how I first read it. Omg, heart attack! Wait I’m better. Oh no, it’s happening again! Whew, false alarm. Holy shit, I’m dying! …

They didn't buy the first 19 fake heart attacks, but he really sold it the twentieth time.

Seafood paella and two whiskeys for only $36.80 USD? I'm fucking moving to Spain

I wish I was that extroverted. I mean that's 19 free meals and a nickname, what else do you want?

I dub thee "Nicky Desire" after your intense desire for a nickname.

What does this have to do with introversion vs extroversion? It seems completely unrelated.
One could easily be an introvert and be an asshole and take advantage of people this way.

But were they big corporate restaurants? Because that's victimless.

This sounds like a Michael Scott bit in The Office.... I'm pretty sure something like that actually happened in The Office.
