Outrageous FL behavior [stealing the copy machine paper]
Ok - perhaps outrageous is a bit extreme and there might be a thread similar but I didn't find it. Sitting at the JFK FL lounge when a guy comes through the door (after another person so he could have been hallway waiting from the AC), and says "I'm just here for a quick drink". I didn't watch him go to the bar but did see him with a handful of food, walk up to the copy machine and open the drawer and then take out all the paper and stuff it in his bag and leave the FL - all in a couple minutes.

Really? What a scum bag.
I saw a guy take a 2 quart bag out & fill it with trail mix @ the Mia AC.

$50 does not get him a pass to the Flagship Lounge, only admission to the Admirals Club.
If he was entitled FL admission, he is a cheap $%!!@#. If he was not entitled admission, the FL Agent should have tossed him out as he attempted to come in.

I saw a customer last week at my job shove about half a dozen of our complimentary donuts into a bag, which was lined with a plastic bag, i.e. he was prepared and planned to take the 50 cent donuts. This guy does know a 500-stack of paper costs next to nothing right? I'm amazed what people will do for <$5 worth of things.

No doubt. About 20 years ago (when the Globe cost like 30 cents, I think) I saw a guy near Government Center dig a newspaper out of a trash can, and stuff it in his briefcase. He was wearing a pretty nice suit, obviously on his way to work. For Reals??

So, is that the new metric? If on a day pass, you can steal as long as it's less than $50? What if I have an annual paid membership? Can I steal up to the cost of the membership each year and it's okay, since AA still "made a buck" on me? I sometimes gain admittance via my Amex - how much does that allow me to steal per visit before it's no longer okay?
