All this breakfast talk is making Me hungry. Bacon and eggs sounds pretty good right now.

Actually you raise a good question: if it is acceptable in his eyes to sneak into a buffet to get food, is it also acceptable to sneak out of a restaurant without paying? If not why? Where do you draw the line?
Perhaps it is only a cup of coffee? Is it okay to have a cup of coffee at the counter without paying (because that is less than five or ten dollars, which was the price of the buffet)?
At a Hampton, the breakfast is $10.00. I'm pretty sure a "Grand Slam" is less. So is it ok then to stiff Dennys?? And like you say, where do you draw the line.
I don't even take an extra sugar packet from Starbucks--but that's just me.
When I go thru a drive-thru for example and they ask me what condiments I might want -- dipping sauce, or ketchup, or whatever. If I don't use it, I don't want them to put it in my bag. If I use it, I know what I am going to use. I don't want to take condiments that I am going to waste because I know that if I don't take the condiments it will help to hold down prices for the restaurant. If they save money, I'll save money. And we'll save landfill space, too.
Perhaps Bob is just an innocent victim of affluenza.
There is no question that some people think they are privileged or above the law or don't have to follow the rules that the rest of us follow. Take for example some "7 Stars Players" who think that because they played so much they should be getting certain privileges over and above those which are spelled out by Caesars Total Rewards. And I guess there are "advantage players" who think that they are also due certain privileges because they win more.
I guess if you make so much money, and are used to playing tens of thousands of dollars in a few hours in high limit video poker machines, that you think grabbing a ten dollar breakfast is something you are "entitled to."
Have you ever noticed that people who drive expensive cars are more likely to speed, cut you off, run through intersections, etc.??
And don't forget park in places where they shouldn't, like handicapped spaces or loading docks. The rich also give less, on a percentage basis, to charity: The Atlantic: Why the rich don't give to charity. I loved this quote from it:
I don't doubt this. I've seen other research that supports this.
And you are absolutely right about the parking places. My son and I got a laugh about a year ago when we went to a very crowded Best Buys and some guy with a new sports car parked his car on an angle taking up two spots so no one could give him door dings.
Nothing is worse than having your car keyed. About 20 years ago I parked my Mustang convertible in a shopping mall parking lot, right by the entrance -- it was parked correctly -- and when I came out it was keyed. Nothing hurts more than seeing that except when you come out of your house in the morning and you find your convertible roof has been slashed. And that happened to my Mustang three times. Gee, do you think it's a target for jerks?
I admit it--I am responsible for one "keying". I always park far away because the walk is good for me. I came back out to my car, parked way far from the entrance, and another car had parked so close to me that I couldn't get into my car on the driver side. I had to get in passenger side and crawl over. So yes--I am not proud-- but I keyed the s--t out of the other car.
In Bob's newest column he is going to marry the lady he left his wife for. At least he made it about gambling in regards to sharing a bankroll.

Sounds like a true love story. Brings a lump to my throat---or was that acid reflux.
The ridiculous thing about that column is that it deals with very low amounts of money when it comes to gambling.
Why is someone like Dancer even bothering to talk about "bankroll sharing" when it comes to matters of $125?
I have done it before where my girlfriend (who doesn't gamble) gets a card at some casino in order to get some freeplay promotion, and then she just hands me the card and I run it for her. We don't do any kind of talk about bankroll sharing or any crap like that. If it was big money, then yes it would be something to discuss, but it's pretty LOL-worthy to be talking about who has the rights to a $100 freeplay offer and whether you should chance running it on a high variance machine.
