You cannot steal things that are available for free. If the restaurant made you sign a contract before taking packets of ketchup swearing that you will use each and every one on that order right there, then yeah, taking extras would be wrong. But I seriously doubt they care. And it definitely is not stealing. ---

Doesn’t Jeff realize that lindsay is supporting the good people of the hard-pressed American condiment industry? This recession hit them plenty hard. They’ve only now mustered the resources to catch up with the Chinese, and don’t relish having to deal with another assault of being peppered with layoffs. ---
