stealing pens pet peeve

back when i was a server, i used to use the really pretty gel pens that come in various colors when giving out checks. customers would keep on stealing them and eventually i resorted to the ugly dollar store black pens so i wouldn’t gaf if they disappeared. ngl it was annoying considering i liked using colors lol

it’s not a big deal, but i always been wondering why do customers have no shame lol, its not even a 100% stranger since i usually would introduce myself by knowing their names and everything
