Ah, cheapskates. We've all known a few and probably dated
plenty in our day. In fact, odds are that we're related (or married) to one

Consumer Crusader
Who's
going to save the world from tough steaks, overcooked legumes
and surly service? Why, it's consumer crusader, that's who!
You may have dined with this penny pinching superhero who

of their meal that they leave the restaurateur little choice
but to waive all or part of the bill. Consumer crusaders never
view their table tantrums as a cheesy ploy to duck the bill.
On the contrary, they consider their public display of dissatisfaction
a valiant blow for consumer advocacy, even if it leaves you
red-faced with embarrassment.
