Italian court rules food theft 'not a crime' if hungry

Same thing happens at restaurants. If a restaurant gives away excess food to employees at the end of the night, you're guaranteeing that employees will then cook excess food to take home a shitload.

As the saying goes, "This is why we can't have nice things."

Nah, it's just basic human nature. Would be really naive to expect something different.

I don't think it's unfair to say "Human nature is why we can't have nice things."
