That is terrible, Tradd! There is a big difference between being frugal vs cheap vs being a thief. I think when you take something that is not intended for you, that is petty theft, and greed. That annoys me, too, when I see it.

I remember the backlash Amy D. (Tightwad Gazette) got when she said she went to breakfast buffets in hotels and stashed muffins in her bag for lunch. Same idea.
