You know I don't agree with stealing in any way, shape or form. But
according to the article the customer didn't even *want* the steak the
manager pushed on him. "Hansen declined an offer of a new steak, but
Liberatore persisted and
offered a new steak he could take home, the complaint said." Even so, the
cook was out of line; it's not his problem if someone is trying to get a
free meal. A saavy manager knows when they're being scammed.
