Similar to this, if you buy a meal in a restaurant are you legally entitled to walk out with the plate, knives and forks.
What about the salt and pepper pot?

no, you just have the loan of them, come to think of it, don't you really just end up renting the beer,too?

No you are renting the use. I used to live next door to a pub and we would take a round of pints next door and drink them in our living room when the pub was busy. By the end of the week we'd take 50 pint glasses back to the pub washed and ready to use. Otherwise not unless it's a promotion, I was in a bar in New Orleans some years ago and there was a special drink for $10 with a fancy glass you could take away with you. I would think though you might have paid for your plates at a Greek wedding. It would simply be good business sense by the hotel management.

There are a three examples where you do buy the glass - where a premises is unlicensed they may sell you the glass and give you the beer.

At festivals or beer festivals where the glass comes in the entrance price as a souvenir.

Where it is a "plastic" not a glass to enable you to leave the premesis with it.

Otherwise it would be theft to go off with it as you have just rented it - same for tableware - if you are meant to take these they will be plastic or paper.

No, you have paid for the use of the glass, and someone serving it to you. I know it is expensive to buy any alcohol now, but if you take the glass without consent, you have in effect stolen it. As an ex licensee, it is not something landlords would chase up, but it does cost quite a bit to keep replacing them.

Of course not. You have "rented" the use of those containers or utensils and the table space for the purpose of consuming the product you did buy. When you have consumed the meal/beverage, your entitlement to them ends, hence they come and clear the dishes when the food is gone...you don't need it anymore and you are done.

No you've only rented the container your meal or drink is served in or on - unless its a plastic glass or a disposable container (like for chips etc) - then its yours to chuck on the street or do what you want with.

You get the food or the drink. That's all you're "entitled" to.

Try finding a lawyer who would represent you in this matter....one would, but only for a big sum of money because they would get their *a* *s* *s* chewed out by the judge who would be pissed off about such a dumb case.

This has got to be the single dumbest question I've ever heard. Mind you, I did see somebody pull out the seat they were using in the cineplex.
