@vaurora I see answers amounting to 'it's technically theft', 'nobody cares, you'll be fine' and 'the polite thing to do is ask', and I expect all three of those are true at the same time.

If I found myself doing it often, I'd buy a pocket pack of tissues (or a whole pack of those pocket packs, which probably costs about the same in a regular supermarket as a single pack in the AH To Go).

Another thing is that the shop might, next to the napkins, also offer those plastic spork thingies. If it's OK to take a napkin without paying or asking, does that mean you can also take a spork? Or an empty coffee cup?

@vaurora

I just went ahead and tried it. Walked to one of the cashiers and asked them. They said that I could take as many napkins as I needed.

I wouldn't be surprised if it differs per store and even between the staffers. From what I gather (not sure though), AH to Go can be franchisees too - like the regular AHs.
