Man caught on hidden camera pocketing napkins.

SINGAPORE: People seem to be helping themselves to more than what they need at self-help counters at fast-food chain McDonald's.

At a McDonald's outlet in Tampines Mall, people took napkins, sauces, or even free drink refills in bulk, and paid no heed to warnings by staff.

Although it is not considered as theft, the actions amount to criminal misappropriation.

Those found guilty could be jailed up to two years, fined or be liable to both.
