Guest tries to steal food from the hotel pantry and, when confronted, pretends that he never intended to steal and acts defensively: ‘Oh, of course I was going to pay for it.’ – FAIL Blog

​In this story, the front desk employee just told him he had to pay and let him charge it to his room. No repercussions were faced by the thief guest. He just went back into his room as if he hadn’t done anything wrong. That is some poor action taken against the employee. At least some kind of fine should have been applied to show this person that what he did is wrong and should not be condoned. The fact that he just let the guest go without even a warning is why this kind of thing gets done again. If nothing bad happens to the person who tries something like this, why wouldn’t they do it? In the worst case, they just have to pay the exact value of the product. Most people who notice that are going to try to steal just because they can.
