Ví dụ
“I hate to eat and run, but I've got another appointment (cuộc hẹn khác).” “Yes, go, go!” Kara waved her away and placed some money in the check holder.

Operation “Lobster Removal” went into effect. Morgan first drops this bomb on the hostess. “Hate to eat and run,” she says. Kavovit seems annoyed. “You are not going anywhere,” she jokes. Meanwhile, Morgan says she’s going to get a to-go box for Medley.

(MoneyWatch) "I hate to eat and run, but a door-buster awaits!" As if Black Friday and Cyber Monday were not enough, this year Wal-Mart, Sears, Toys R Us and Target will open for business on the evening of Thanksgiving (lễ tạ ơn). Retailers (người bán lẻ) and economists alike are hoping that consumers give thanks by opening their wallets (ví) this week.
