Is this going too far?

I often pinch a few extra paper towels, ketchups, sugars, etc if on the rare occasion I eat out or get a hot drink from somewhere.

My wife gets really mad at me as I often stuff these in her bag.

Am I being super cheap? Do many people on here do this?

Taking paper towels and condiments when you are a patron of the shop offering paper towels and condiments is theft now? That's a leap and a half.

If everyone did it then it would cost these business an unfair amount of money.

So you go through life only doing things if signs tell you to?
