    No matter how you explain it, it's still theft at the end of the day! Nobody is forcing you to eat at a service station, the prices are advertised so why should you steal from them?

    But what do you expect from motorway services, of course theyre prices are going to be expesive, the prices are high as the location of the services must be an prime location

    services are a prime location, but due to the traffic that stops at them and spends money, it shouldnt raise the price by double, and actually on another subject when you work away you have to stop at services for your food as you have to rush to each site. so yes sometimes i am forced to eat at services

    there was a book published about pubs etc that sold food close to the motorways but i cant think of the name, theres also a website which is similar and you choose your motorway and it will list places to eatc close to the motorway,

    what i generally do when in services is go up to to get served with the mrs, tell her to sit down with what she has ordered, then i continue too the till, and just pay for my order, its the best way, they rob us, i rob them lol

    Any other companies you steal from or services you don't pay for?

    I think it is terrible that you are being forced to go into a service station and being made to eat their food. Shame you don't have a choice. No wonder you feel hard done by.
