J,

You definitely did the right thing, but it's very weird that the owner is not hooking you up for these events. I'd expect that you'd always get comped at these events and would expect that you'd get comped a lot other times you visit as well.

Why do you even point out that you filled the bar? That has nothing to do with the actual question, and it looks like you're trying to use that as an excuse for stealing.

This poll should be if you could steal $100 would you.

I'd just pay it and leave. If you brought them 150 customers, you made them a hell of a lot more than 100 bucks. Seriously, sports bars make $100 like nothing. I don't see this as a very big deal at all.

Maybe I'd give them some extra service in the future to sort of give them the $100 back, but I hate wasting time disputing a bill. No need to get anyone involved in this.

This says a lot about you.

Also, I dont know if this is the norm, but I do this a lot for friends of mine that are opening up a place, ie tonight, Im going to a charity event, and Ill probably end up bringing 30 or so people from there to a bar my buddy just opened, 99.9% of the time its understood I and the broad Im trying to nail drink for free.

It is interesting that to some people it matters who you are stealing from.

additionally, as this was such a success you could discuss with the manager directly regarding organising these more regularly in exchange for an open agreement on comping. the manager will be happy to discuss this, and likely be open to the idea. What's to lose.

def, this is how I got started doing a lot of things .

I agree. This is similar to the logic I use to justify why I shoplift from large department stores and steal gas from coporate owned gas stations.

I figure, my family spends lots of money with them and so have I in the past, plus they make tons of money anyway.

Of course, in this situation, you didn't consider that most bars make the waitress pay for shortages.

My drug dealer once gave me a 1/4 instead of the 8th I had paid for, should I have told him?
