Actually, if he knew how many people, he WOULDN’T be surprised by the shackles. But then, I don’t go to those kinds of places, and if he doesn’t either, maybe he WOULD be surprised. Point being, the professionally edited version would read: “You’d be surprised how many people walk out without paying.” As written it isn’t nonsensical, but close, and ultimately of an opposite meaning.

My uncle went into a bar where they locked the door after he entered. (Before fire safety rules did away with such.)
They explained, “If you start something, you don’t leave ‘til it’s over.”
(Would also cut down on bill jumpers.)

definitely would make it hard to eat; not being able to get close enough to the table to eat his meal.
