“Its not contrived at all, you just dont want to deal with the fact that employees give out free stuff all the time in restaurants and no one thinks anything about it until someone finally gets fired for it.” (you don’t mention that it is to paying customers, this guy gave food away to a non-customer)
I don’t want to deal with facts???
IF I owned a restaurant, employees would give out “free stuff” to CUSTOMERS under the conditions that my established protocol prescribed. My established protocol, and evidently Cracker Barrel’s established protocol, would not include arbitrarily giving free food to “needy” persons.
I’ve never taken extra packets of sugar from the doughnut shop. I don’t know the (ex)CB employee. I probably have you all wrong because I cannot even understand your statements.
Was the tartar sauce given to you upon request with an order of fish you bought at a restaurant? And was it sauce you believed you needed to eat with that order of fish? If so, even if it turned out you didn’t need it after all, it was not stolen. If you requested the sauce knowing you already had enough with your order and just wanted to take more home to enjoy with another meal, yes, you stole it, and that is wrong.
If something is not yours, and you take it without the owner’s consent, what is that action called?
It does not matter what you intend to do with property that belongs to someone else when you take it without their consent. There is no gray area here, even if “everybody does it”.
Why this is confusing is beyond me.
