Why is there always one of these participating in group meals?! I
noticed the "he tried" which -- I'm hoping beyond hope -- might
mean someone larger and with a better title called him on his
boorish thievery.

I tend to embarrass those types of jackasses. I don't need them to
go out with "us" and they won't ever get invited back if I'm
organizing said meal. "F" 'em with a cue stick.
