Woman Flees Fast Food Restaurant Without Paying After One Genius Excuse

In the summer of 2019, one woman felt the all too familiar siren song of the fast-food drive-thru calling her name. So, she stopped at a roadside restaurant with a unique plan to fill her belly with one major snag — she didn't plan on paying the bill. Read on for the side order of controversy she served at the window.

Craving Hit

On a summer afternoon, Delila Hernandez was feeling exceptionally hungry. The Las Cruces, New Mexico, resident decided she needed a satisfying meal, and she needed it right now. No, she didn't head to the kitchen. Instead, she craved something faster and more convenient.

Searched For A Spot

She hopped on her bike and headed down the main drag of El Paseo Road. Before long, she saw a sign high above the sidewalk. It was exactly what she was searching for.

Stopped At Sonic

Hernandez had reached her local Sonic. Given the heat of the New Mexico summer, she decided that was the perfect place to stop for an ice cold drink and some lunch.

So Many Options

While the chain is known for its large variety of drink options and crispy tater tots, Delila wasn't exactly sure what she was going to order. Everything sounded great to her.
