I personally find this appalling...
I may be wrong on this but in my world it is simply not the right thing to do....
So the kid (or employee lavishes you with free food, drinks, whatever)....who is paying for this....
The kid at the window gives you a 1.99 bowl of chili....is he going to remember to ring it in and pay for it out of his own pocket (especially if the ticket is a losing one)...even at an employee discount...probably not...it is going to come out of the owners pocket.....and if the kid doesn't pay then he has willingly stolen from the owner thereby jeopardizing his job....and with cameras everywhere and being monitored these days there is a good chance he will get caught.
Same with unauthorized discounts on food...it comes out of the owners pockets.
Morally and ethically I find this appalling.
Rebuttal of disagreement with my viewpoint is welcome...perhaps I am missing something here.
