This practice seems to be the case with higher end restaurant shops, not so much for casual dining shops. I don't consider it deceitful, but I just won't do it. This makes me no better than the guy at the freeway exit with a, "Will Work For Food," sign.
I'm a professional. I perform a service, and that is what I want to be paid for.
IMHO, the more of us that refuse to do this kind of shop, the more MS companies will realize that collateral (what you get to take home) is incidental, and what they are paying for is the ***service*** we provide, not the service we may receive (like an oil change) or the goods we leave with and may or may not get to keep (like purchase and return shops).
