At 7:15 this morning I was in the big K-H ORD Admirals Club when I watched as a well dressed man pulled the NY Times and the WSJ off the "Library Bars" that hold the papers.

At first I thought it was just because it was easier to read the paper without the bar. I watched him disapprovingly as he did this since the papers are on the bars specifially to keep them in the club. But NO, he took the papers, folded them and then left the club.

I gave him the hairy eyeball while he was doing this. I mean come on you can't pop for the $3.50 for the 2 papers. And its one thing to take the paper at 8:00 PM when you are on a late flight and most of the traffic is gone for the day, but at 7:15 AM?

Did I handle this correctly?
Have others encountered this?
What else should I have done?
I didn't think I should make a scene, but what a rude thing to do.
I always bring my own WSJ ex ORD so this is not an issue for me. The G AC has plenty papers available.
