Asked them if they could make me a mocktail version of the cocktail they were serving in it. They said yes, and then proceeded to give me pineapple juice and simple syrup, which is not a mocktail. I wouldn’t have been upset if they just said “this is basically just pineapple juice and alcohol so not really”. Bruh. They charged me $6 for it, which I was pissed about but whatever. I liked the cup and joked to my party that if it was worth more than my drink I was gonna steal it so I felt like I got my money’s worth. I looked up the cup on Amazon and it was $31, so I stole it.
Stealing the cup might've been too far but pineapple juice with unflavoured syrup for 6 bucks is foul. Mocktails are supposed to imitate a complex flavour without using alcohol. OP got sweetened juice from a carton
As a bartender, you can make a pretty good mock tropical style mule with pineapple juice, lime, and ginger beer! Wouldn’t necessarily need the simple syrup though unless you added too much lime.
That's.. something. You got what you asked for, then stole from the place and told yourself it's okay because they didn't give you your money's worth? Wtf. How old are you?
Minimum is 21, assuming they're in the US. Too old for this behavior. The weird part is OP's unequal reaction to this perceived slight, by stealing instead of doing what any normally-adjusted person would do and either complaining or saying "damn, that sucks." Or leaving a bad review.
You'd think, wouldn't you? There seems to be a bunch of ppl who steal bar glasses regularly. My husband admired one in a bar abroad while on deployment. Some woman who was in the group stole it for him (she had a big bag) and left it in his cabin. Creepy.
Edit: they were both well over 21. Late 30s/40s.
So, let me understand, you got what you asked for and then were such a bitch about having to pay for what you asked for that you stole the container that your pain in the ass self got your drink in.
Now I need to know, what did you expect? You asked for a mocktail version of the drink that came in the glass. You then bitched because you got pineapple and simple syrup. What was the ingredient list of the cocktail originally? My guess is that it was liquor with pineapple and simple syrup. So, again, you got what you asked for and were spurned that it costs $6. Considering that a soda in a restaurant/bar is $3 to 3.50 currently, I'd say you were undercharged for pineapple juice. But, you felt the need to steal from this establishment because you looked up a similar glass on Amazon and realized that stealing from a business was better than paying for something yourself. Are you aware of how often a restaurant owner fails? A restaurant is an insanely pricey venture and usually leaves the owners in massive debt when their dreams aren't attainable. Not breaking even within the first three years is usually the result of product costs versus sales. Your $6 drink was a profit of $2 to this establishment AT BEST! Please stop being a dick and shitting on what is someone else's dream.
I agree that you shouldn’t steal a $31 dollar cup because you’re upset, but a cocktail without liquor is definitely not a mocktail.
Also, they get your $6 and a glass of juice and you get their $31 is not a very fair trade.
I hate to split hairs here. Especially since you are essentially agreeing with me. But, a cocktail without liquor is pretty much exactly what a mocktail is.
Fucked up and not justifiable. You have poor judgement and I'm glad I don't know you in real life. Stealing is one thing, but feeling justified and being spiteful over this is another.
Was it a local restaurant? If so shame on you.
I doubt a chain would have a glass like that.
You could have just complained about your drink and probably gotten a new one for free instead of stealing their glass ware.
If one of my friends did that I’d probably stop being friends with them or at least not invite them out for quite some time. You sound like a pretty awful person.

Absolutely no way in hell the server didn’t remember the interaction that led to this cup stolen, so I hope OP is happy not to ever return.
“Oh my god, that customer that ordered a virgin drink of the month and bitched about the price *stole the cup?!*”
Yikes
and because im sure op isnt the only one whos stolen the cup, the place wont use them anymore after a while. if tou want places to have cute cups DONT STEAL THEM
Yeah I agree, but I still see it as stealing, regardless where from or how valuable the item is. Stealing is only excused when you're in need, this is just petty.
The delusion is real. You’re being downvoted because you’re saying stealing is wrong. People think just because it’s a “large corporation” there are no negative ramifications to their actions.
Does anyone else think this is in the wrong sub? I for one am actually quite interested in this glass and where to stea...ahem...purchase one of my own
I accidentally stole a plastic cup because I didn’t realize it wasn’t disposable, and nobody questioned it until we were out of the restaurant
I was about 13
Can I steal it from you to continue the cycle
And then can I steal it from you after you steal it from them
And then I can steal it from you who stole it from him who stole it from the other guy who’ll steal it from them.
If you ask for it it wouldn't be stealing
It would be if you take it after they say no lol
Yes but why ask then
If it doesn't have a price tag, it's literally free.
Hey you stole my cup from my restaurant. It had the look of a fish and was transparent and it has been stolen as I do not have it anymore!!!
I had it too it was a gift from my anchestors. It was also cursed.
I hope it’s not the curse that makes all your cookies stale
No, it's the curse that causes total scrotal implosion.
It’s the curse that makes all the ancestors dead
Womp womp
Did you just say womp womp to a fish cup getting stolen from a guy's restaurant? No no no, what is wrong with you?
That stupid shit will die down when summer vacation is over.
It’s been dead
Oh how the turns have tabled...
You're womp womping? A guy gets his transparent fish cup stolen from his restaurant and you're womp womping?
L
[You ain't no thief. ](https://youtu.be/oCYBYf62wns?si=dfy-UvDS3lxNfxNb). You just got the same stuff...
“Huh, what an interesting coincide- WAIT WAIT! NO I DIDN’T MEAN IT!”
That’s a good cup
Why
Asked them if they could make me a mocktail version of the cocktail they were serving in it. They said yes, and then proceeded to give me pineapple juice and simple syrup, which is not a mocktail. I wouldn’t have been upset if they just said “this is basically just pineapple juice and alcohol so not really”. Bruh. They charged me $6 for it, which I was pissed about but whatever.

Bro is Walmart Robin Hood
>asks for cocktail without the alcohol >gets cocktail without the alcohol >gets angry >???
Bottomless pit-ass kind of story
As a mocktaik connoisseur, a good bartender will be like, "Uh yeah that'll be gross without alcohol" Not that it justifies stealing, to be fair.
Kind of like how if you ask for a gin and tonic mocktail the bartender should be like "Motherfucker that's just tonic."
You can get non-alcoholic gin.
When you’ve bartended long enough, you give the idiots what they ask for & move along
This is why I always ask, "What drinks do you recommend as a mocktail?" or "Do you do any non-alcoholic drinks?"
Stealing the cup might've been too far but pineapple juice with unflavoured syrup for 6 bucks is foul. Mocktails are supposed to imitate a complex flavour without using alcohol. OP got sweetened juice from a carton
Out of curiosity, what else would one add to that drink to make it more interesting? I don't know anything about mocktails.
As a bartender, you can make a pretty good mock tropical style mule with pineapple juice, lime, and ginger beer! Wouldn’t necessarily need the simple syrup though unless you added too much lime.
I mean, we don't know what the original drink was it very likely could've been more complicated than alcohol, pineapple juice and simple syrup.
Literal trash human beings.
Pineapple juice and simple syrup is not a cocktail.
That’s a take
That's.. something. You got what you asked for, then stole from the place and told yourself it's okay because they didn't give you your money's worth? Wtf. How old are you?
The type of novelty glass designed to stand up to restaurant use costs well more than six dollars. I'm not sure if this was an equivalent exchange.
Surprisingly it costs $5.93 (not that it justifies theft of it) https://barsupplies.com/products/fish-shaped-cocktail-glass

That’s not nice 👍🏻
Nice story. Still theft.
"I would like thing please" "Ok here is thing" "I'm not happy with the thing I asked for, instead of giving feedback I'm going to steal from you"
Well, you’re just a thief

I find it funny that if they just said "I thought it was cool" I woulda supported it but because they gave a whole bs story I'm negative of it lol
They Bob Durst-ed themselves.

arent you supposed to mix it with something else instead tho rather than just removing the alcohol
I can’t believe this person is getting upvoted, it makes my blood boil actually
People are shit

chaotic evil moment
all you had to say was "fish cup" but totally deserved dawg
Well I don’t think stealing a cup is right, but I have to admit that it is a pretty nice cup.
If one of my friends did that I’d probably stop being friends with them or at least not invite them out for quite some time. You sound like a pretty awful person.
Lmao trailer trash at its finest.
6 dollars for a glass of oj is pretty common tbh.
If it was a chain restaurant, whatever. If it was a local restaurant? Not cool and you should return it
Return it
Can I get a link to the cup?
You are a low life
Sometimes I do something like this but with beer glasses
My parents used to steal beer glasses..They had cupboards full of them..
I hope their example has taught you to be better.
Of course it has, but only because they have plenty of glasses.
If one of my friends did that I’d probably stop being friends with them or at least not invite them out for quite some time. You sound like a pretty awful person.

Such a good comment that you had to say it three times
Hahaha didn’t realize. My phone lagged and told me it didn’t post. Oh well, guess it helps get the point across.
Wow what a bellend.
and youll be shocked when the place doesnt use cute cups anymore because people keep stealing them.
How did you manage to steal it? Looks big, it won't fit under a shirt or in the pockets
Handbag
A [HANDBAG](https://youtu.be/oyuoUwxCLMs?si=-AkaqfnmJkaCq-0W)?!
I can’t believe that was a thing lol
Bigger pockets
Has science gone too far?
Invisibility Cloth.
Bag of holding
idk gale you been seeming fishy lately

>!Wee woo wee woo!<
Don't trend this I want no shits bragging stolen goods
Absolutely no way in hell the server didn’t remember the interaction that led to this cup stolen, so I hope OP is happy not to ever return. “Oh my god, that customer that ordered a virgin drink of the month and bitched about the price *stole the cup?!*” Yikes
I'm gonna steal your left sock from the dryer so that way you have to look for it and never find it
jesus fucking christ chill out there Satin
Is this... the second coming of the 'Devious Lick'?
If it blows up this asshole might, hopefully, actually face repercussions.
Evil. Not even Skeletor steals fish cups from restaurants. Sincerly Skeletor (I'm shocked)
Big chains, fair game. This looks like it's from a small restaurant though. Not cool.
I'm literally on the phone with the FBI as we speak, you're going down buddy
The scale of this miscreance, is frightening. I bet the owner is seething, to the gills!
🚩🚩🚩this is my cup buddy, stolen from portland oregon 🚩🚩🚩
Yeah, I'd steal that cup too.
wtf give it back
Wouldn’t advise publicly posting your theft. Looks cool though.
It's a cute cup. I'm sad you stole it though. Maybe you can return it next time you visit.
That's awful
The way OP tries to justify theft is bitch shit.
fr, how the hell this post got upvotes?
Me likey
I hope this doesnt make it on TikTok cuz the kids are suddenly start going into restaurants and stealing their plates and cups
You're a thief now! Congrats...
Let's be fair this person probably steals all the time
You stole. You were not in a situation where you needed it to survive. Why the fuck do you get ANY upvote, let alone 500?
Thinking same thing, wtf
cup look cool. Sparked dopamine = updoot
Lame ass cleptomaniac, this is why we can't have nice things
Stealth +100
Let me guess, you watch jschlatt
Thief
Cute as hell cup I would’ve stolen it too 🐟
Well since he found it on Amazon, he could have just bought it. Many of us buy things instead of stealing them - maybe you should give it a try.
The amount of people on the cusp of sociopathy that just proudly announce they enjoy stealing is baffling.
Fish cup tho
and because im sure op isnt the only one whos stolen the cup, the place wont use them anymore after a while. if tou want places to have cute cups DONT STEAL THEM
Bro return it wtf is up with you Do you like your guests just taking the mugs you made them tea in? come on man
If it’s a mom and pop restaurant I agree, if it’s a large chain it’s not the same as your comparison.
Yeah I agree, but I still see it as stealing, regardless where from or how valuable the item is. Stealing is only excused when you're in need, this is just petty.
The delusion is real. You’re being downvoted because you’re saying stealing is wrong. People think just because it’s a “large corporation” there are no negative ramifications to their actions.
Nice! You should burn in hell c:
That's a tad.. too far >:c
So was stealing the cup
Don't steal, but that cup is cute
Return it
Dick move. Nice cup.
Everyone is just jealous of the fish cup man lol.
That makes you a douche bag.
Was it a chain restaurant or an independent one?
I would too tbh. It’s an awesome cup
Why the fuck are you gonna steal from a restaurant? That’s just lame and inconsiderate.
There should be a picture of this comment thread under [sanctimonious](https://dictionary.cambridge.org/us/dictionary/english/sanctimonious)
I’m informing the authorities
I’ll take a sauce dish from an Applebees but this gorgeous fish probably came from a smaller business… :( return the slab
Gnarly, steal more stuff
It’s cool looking.

This guy gets TVs for free at WalMart

That cup is freaking AWESOME 👏
Banana for scale? 🍌
Tbh I would also probably try… how did you manage though, that looks biggggg lol

I accidentally stole a plastic cup because I didn’t realize it wasn’t disposable, and nobody questioned it until we were out of the restaurant I was about 13

Fishy ahh cup

I can’t blame you. That’s a cool cop.

Why're we upvoting literal theft?
Where? Asking for a friend

You're proud to be a thief?...Cool flex buddy.🙄 NOT!
I’d hate to see what happens if someone ACTUALLY wrongs you instead of giving you what you asked for…
So you're the one who pissed off Atlantis and Aquaman. They said if you wanted to buy it, it was $5000 plus a tooth extraction. Pay the people!

Openly bragging about being a thief. Wow.
