We have some good discussion here. Over all, I would think this is not wide spread, I see too much paper work and counting going on. I always thought there should be a system of accounting for empty bottles and it surprises me that there isn't. Over the years, I have had FA give me minis for the road, a couple of months ago, I needed a bottle of wine to take to a client dinner and a FA was kind enough to give me a bottle since we were running late and I couldn't stop by a shop. Also, I know there are plenty of others including me that have gotten several bottles of champagne or wine when deplaning. I realize there is a difference between a gift and stealing, but seeing the generous stance of some FA's I would turn a blind eye rather than accuse the FA, afterall, it will simply turn into a I said they said with the employee, supervisor and shop steward.
