Let's say at Disneyland they gave you three Dole whips instead of the two you ordered. It's fine to eat that third one

since they "wouldn't take it back" after you walked away? Knowing full well that this should have gone to the next person in line, who has been waiting for 25 minutes and will miss his/her fastpass window at Indiana Jones as a result?

Their fault for giving you an extra hashbrown.

They wouldn't take it back either

Does that change the morality of the transaction? You received something you did not pay for and does not belong to you

Nikomedes

Yes, it does.

If someone else eats it for free that makes it moral? Are you suggesting to give

If 100% know that they won't take it back and they don't care, why should I?

Some would say reading scriptures is also a "waste of time." That doesn't affect whether it's right

Don't waste my time, don't wast your time. Move on, next problem.

They can't re-serve it. They would just throw it away.

If you handed it back to them, they have to toss it in the trash.

All they could do is throw it away, so no.

I consider it balancing out the universe from the 10 other times when you left the drive-thru

If you win more than you lose on the drive-thru transaction, then you're probably stealing

How often would you go back in and get the missing one if they messed that up?

My wife would. Every single time.

Very true regardless of whether I am actually missing

Maybe he gave him 2 cents change.

Just keep it in your car for the next time you see a panhandler.

Since they would just throw it away, isn't it more ethical to keep it?
