Ordering MULTIPLE extra ranch sides and then taking them HOME is a lesser version of that, but still STEALING.
Actually, it's NOT stealing, because I have been to restaurants like Hooter's, Twin Peaks, etc. that actually ***CHARGE FOR CONDIMENTS***. So at those places, I am ****PAYING**** for what I order. Also, the restaurant has an option to **CHARGE** me at some point if they want to. They choose not to in most cases, so HOW is that stealing? I ask for extra bread, been even OFFERED extra bread at places like Outback, etc. to take home. It's not stealing if the restaurant WANTS to give it away for free. Are you stupid? If they give it away for free, they I am not stealing it. They have EVERY RIGHT to charge me if if they feel I am ordering too much and they don't. I, all the time, get refills to-go on my soft drinks. That's not stealing either. HOW can it be stealing if I am paying my server extra for the extra work if they did a good job as well, huh? It's not stealing, because I am ordering it and they can decide to charge me or not. I am not just taking it. It's not the same as let's say ketchup packets at a fast food restaurant that a customer would "TAKE" 10 of. THAT is stealing if you aren't ordering that much food to use 10, because that's "TAKING", which I am not doing. I am **RECEIVING*** the items, NOT "TAKING" the items. Stealing is taking, NOT receiving. I ordered the condiments, they decide to charge me or not. It's not stealing. I can't make them charge me. So you want me to put a gun to their head to tell them "CHARGE ME DAMMIT", YEAH RIGHT, you wouldn't do that either and you know it.
