You're being more literal than I was. My point was that "a debt" is a broader concept than the GP comment acknowledges. A debt is incurred any time you propose or agree to buy something. And legal tender is the way you settle it.
No, eating food & then paying is a debt. After the services have been rendered. If seller can pull back the items, never provided the service, no debt.
Walking out of the store with groceries generates a debt, no?
I believe that's more likely to generate a criminal charge

Then how about paying after ordering and eating a meal?
