While I was working with other impoverished EMT's in Lincoln NE, one night two were eating at a local Italian place when a diner across the room started choking. My coworkers went over, Heimliched him, and after the man was good enough to continue, they sat down, finished, and discovered the manager was footing the tab. The rest of the shift we concocted ways for milk this, such as one of us goes in and orders followed by two later who "Heimlich" him, get free grub, and bring the majority of the food back in a doggie bag to the company. Hampered by the small size of the place and our lack of disguises, we let it expire on the BS heap.
Then years later, a diner was choking in the Bonanza Steak House I was eating at with my wife and baby son. I went over, got this huge guy up (his wife says "Do you know what you're doing?"), did an abdominal thrust or two and the cud loosened to where he could clear his throat and resume chewing!
My tray and plate at the salad bar had been thrown in back for washing!
(Need an emoticon for "down one notch" here).
