After the 15th time people started getting suspicious
But it was the 20th that really gave him away.
Always quit while you're ahead
“It’s heart attack guy. He wants his usual.”
Triple bacon cheeseburger with onion rings?
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.
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.
$50 vs $1000, rough approximations
My last ambulance ride was $3,400. After insurance I was still on the hook for 1,700 iirc
Jesus Christ and y'all still live in the US??
