I dont feel it's stealing at all. The restaurants put these things there for the customer, and if I'm paying (and tipping very well too!), I dont feel the slightest bit guilty for taking a couple extra. I dont really want to pay a bunch to get name brand diet jelly... and I dont use it very often either. Besides, though I only use one packet of sweetener in my tea, other people use 2 or 3! So I'm sure they bought enough to have me in mind.

I guess you could call me a student that's REALLY starving...

Thank you, PJMAMA! Gosh, I can sleep better tonight knowing I'm not the only one out there that doesn't see the harm!!
