    Not every place, many do eat the cost, but many do charge the waiter as if it’s their responsibility to stop you, yes.

    It’s definitely theft. If I go into a store, open a coke, take a sip, go “eww” and walk out, the store can no longer sell that used coke and has to trash it. Same at a restaurant.

        It is, and one day some policeman might stop you if they want to hassle you about it, ime they find their reasons and that’s one. But you do you, plenty people steal every day, most draw a moral line between stealing from corporations (ok) and stealing from little mom and pop places (bad) but that’s really up to you, and people can judge you according to their personal line on that.

          For a policeman to stop me, the restaurant would actually have to call the police. Never had that happen, I guess they do know they served you bad food when they do. Actually in most cases I had people saying they were sorry and would offer me a free meal next time; not that I’m coming back anyway.

          You’re free to judge.
