People spill something and grab a PILE of napkins to wipe it up instead of asking for a bar towel. People grab a FEW EXTRA sugar/splenda/whatever to take home. People take home a FEW EXTRA sani-wipes. Oh yeah, all figured into the price of whatever, yeah right. OBVIOUSLY some have never had to watch people in essence (mindlessly or not) steal from them and/or be wasteful (mindlessly or not) while they struggle to make payroll and keep a business's doors open. And then of course those same people complain about prices... Excessive entitlement mentality and waste. What's made America what it is today, in the toilet.

Well said, Mike. There is no free lunch, and we all need to think beyond our short-sighted, self-serving decisions. Not just businesses, but the world as a whole is facing a potentially disastrous future because of short-sighted, self-serving decision making at every level. Witness our present Congress.

Rather than offer further complaint I will offer solutions. Move napkins and other traditional consumables behind the counter so people will not assume they are offered for use. Charge for extra sugars. Offer stacks of bar towels instead of napkins. Make America great again. Offer solutions instead.
