Tiki Central / Collecting Tiki / Menu "acquiring" from active places: ultimate sin or slap on the wrist?

Now all i have to say is that any and all establishments that do not offer their menus, mugs, swizzle sticks, etc. for sale are FOOLS...

You're dead right about that. I think you have to be enough of an optimist about your clientele to think that if they're that interested in your barware, they'd be more than happy to pay you for what they'd like to collect from your establishment. If you're low on mugs, menus or matchbooks, then order more pronto. If you can't acquire more, then use something different in your place and put the discontinued stuff up for bid.

...and it serves them right if things are stolen.

I'd differ with you there. Just because people are lousy at making business decisions doesn't give you the customer the inherent right to take what belongs to them without agreed-upon compensation.
