EXACTLY!!! They want it both ways. Give it away and then take it back??
Its given *to their customers* not to freeloading thieves too lazy to go home and too cheap to buy a cup of coffee..
The coffee shop never complained or pressed charges. In fact they said he could have come in and used it even if he wasn’t buying anything.
The only complaint was from a barber who incorrectly assumed the guy was stalking one of the stylists. Then, when it turned out he wasn’t, the cops went on a quest to find something they could charge the guy with.
Imagine all the time spent trying to find a crime here that could have been spent actually protecting and serving the public.
