I think the takeaway is if you have theft, it could easily be internal.
Maybe the real theft is restaurants paying su pch a low wage to employees.
All this does is the owner shifting blame and hate off themselves, onto customers.
They do?
Honestly some times I think I live in an entirely different world.
The only things I have ever taken is left over food and maybe jelly or other condiment packets if I am taking something that would require such. But usually not even that unless we are on the road.
People are so strange.
Back around 2002, my wife put her restaurant leftovers in a take-home box and unthinkingly put the fork into the box. I teased her about that for years, using that fork at her place setting and so on. I think she finally threw it away.
I paid for a pizza, I deserved to take the brick oven home!
Canadians?
Argument was ok, although factoring in the employee theft as another post did, makes sense. But when he got to requesting refills, that’s nuts. Usually $3 + for a fountain drink, no doubt a lot of people don’t take the refill factored into the price. Extra lemon wedge? Lots of people skip the first one and when you’re out, you’re out.
“Lobster tank?”
Fuzz, now you’re talking!
Cmon!
It never occurred to me to take something from a restaurant. They whole point is going there,, have them bring out the meal, and then take everything away so we don’t have to do anything.
I tried to steal the Mongolian BBQ grill but it didn’t fit in my girlfriend’s purse....
95% of businesses encounter employee theft?
That’s hard to believe. I’ll accept 80% and that is a horrible percentage.
Yes, the college students all forget to bring silverware and things with them. At the end of the year they leave that and so much more in their rooms. There was a cleaner at a university in Boston who always volunteered for overtime at the end of the school year. The kids left radios, hair dryers, televisions, other things you can’t imagine. He cleaned up. Also, at year’s end people in apartments leave 1 and 2 year old furniture at the curb. It’s too expensive to ship home.
Many years ago, when our government arranged to remove the Shah of Iran, and again after 9/11 many students left their apartments and cars to return immediately to their home country.
“Does the person you’re talking about’s name rhyme with fillary mintton”
LOL! No. Those trash never showed up there that I can recall.
LOL 😆
Dieb.
Does taking sugar packets count? ... I usually bring my Sriracha.... because I love it and don’t trust anyone to have it.
My cousin stole many beer pitchers, a table and 4 chairs from a tavern. He even stole a Christmas tree from a Chinese Restaurant. He got got trying to take a pinball machine another time
They used to give you matchbooks as souvenirs; but nobody uses them anymore. I still have one from a Chinese place in Chicago from when my wife and I were dating.
Whew! Glad to hear that's OK. I took one from a cool little bar & grille (biker bar) when I was young and travelling. First, I handed the owner a generous tip, and she smiled and thanked me. Then, one of the regulars saw me eye the pen, and he said, 'Quick, take it,' handed it to me, and I slipped it into my bag. I kept that souvenir for years. I'm sure my tip more than covered it.
Same here. I still have some old souvenir matchbooks, one from Chicago. Sometimes, the little things in life make us happy.
Just a symptom of a failed generation, and the failure of their parents. Maybe there is a valid reason for abortion!
