How do two people manage to eat $47 worth of food at an IHOP?

But sounding like Arlo Guthrie on 'Alice's Restaurant' here, that's not what we came to talk about. We came to talk about Tashanna Davis and Virginia Monger and how after running up a $46.85 tab at a Brooklyn IHOP, they were arrested and charged with theft of services, and Monger racked up additional charges for resisting arrest and attempted assault. Now the two didn't try to dine and dash, that would be wrong. What they did do was "scarf down a smorgasbord of breakfast" and then OFFER to pay the princely sum of $30. That's right, they must have thought the Brooklyn IHOP was now an open spice market in Istanbul (not Constantinople). They claimed (are you ready for this excuse?) that the service wasn't up to par so they felt their offer of $30 was a fair one. Police were called and that's when Monger got her additional charges.

Do they serve Rooty Tooty Fresh 'N Fruity breakfasts in the hoosegow?
