Oh, we all know who does this.
How else would I have gotten my lobster tank? Cmon!
Who are these “many people” who steel from restaurants. I know many restaurant owners & managers and have not heard of this.

What is restaurant theft?
Restaurant theft occurs when someone intentionally steals from your restaurant. These activities can range from employees stealing food inventory or undercharging friends to swiping proprietary recipes or pocketing cash payments.
According to statistics:
95% of businesses encounter problems with employee theft.
75% of employees say they’ve stolen from their employers at least once.
More than half (55%) of all embezzlement cases occur at small businesses with fewer than 100 employees.
Internal employee theft accounts for 75% of restaurant inventory losses and 4% of restaurant sales.
Employee theft in the restaurant industry costs businesses $3 to $6 billion annually.
Its ok, please steal those twist salt and pepper grinders that are the most disgusting things in the restaurant, next to the rest rooms.
We’ve got a few fast food joints who had to get rid of their serve yourself soda machines. I was glad to see that. Freeloaders come in with 44 oz cups from 7-11 and fill them up. Those days are over.
Are molcajetes brought to the table, or do these people sneak into the kitchen to steal stuff?
The Bear opened my eyes to just how hard it is to work in a restaurant and to keep it afloat.
Some of the real high end chefs that have appeared on the show have gone out of business.
Although, the chef that cooks without electricity or gas is still in business. Niklas Ekstedt
It’s them again, Yogi.
Many restaurants around college towns hide their condiments and plasticware during the time students are checking into their dorms, because they’re known to clean out the racks in order to stock their dorm rooms.
The REAL THEFT is not tipping.
(well, that’s what they think)

The worst I’ve ever heard of was people stealing a mug from Denny’s on occasion.
“Oh, we all know who does this.”
You knew my mom? How do you like that?
I worked in Food & Beverage at a five-star resort and the things I saw!
Women who were married to high finance men whose names you’d know were the worst. After finishing eating at a buffet, they’d go back and load up their purses with bagels, etc.
It could get to where they’ll have to require payment up front. Which would be unfortunate, but may be the only way to stay in business given the reduced margins of profit from inflation due to ‘dine and dash’
I did that once as a teenager from a pizza place and feel guilty about taking the mug to this day. Restaurant has been gone for nearly 50 years so I doubt anyone actually misses it now.
It’s like collecting souvenirs. They have insurance.
I mean who hasn’t slipped a salt shaker in their back pocket or a cash register in the back of the owner’s truck and driven it home?
We should focus on important things. Like high taxes or property taxes. That’s robbery, basically.
Hmm. Does the person you’re talking about’s name rhyme with fillary mintton
A German restaurant owner chased me down in Berchtesgaden to accuse me of stealing the “salz und pfeffer” shakers. My language skills were not adequate to communicate my denial but he eventually seemed to understand. Since I was a serving US Army officer, I sure didn’t want to get in that kind of host country kerfuffle. This happened in the late 70s but is still a clear memory. I don’t remember the shakers being particularly special or notable, however.
