Is filling a "free" cup at the soda fountain stealing?

Was in Taco Bell with my 5 year old son after picking him up from Kindergarten.....our "special" lunch...

So, I am sitting there watching these two punks order their meals. Each one says "just a cup of water" to drink.

Sure nuff, these two dump their water and promptly head to the soda fountain. Not once but FOUR times throughout their lunch. Okay, I can let one trip slide, but not FOUR!!

I was giving them the stink-eye, hoping they would get a clue....nope.

So, as I left, I whipped out 2 one dollar bills, walked up to their table and said in a loud voice; "It's obvious that you two guys are poor since you have to resort to stealing soda. Here, let me buy your drinks....now go pay for them"

Should have seen the looks on their faces, and those around them. I swear 1/2 a taco fell out of one doods mouth

I am not holier than thou by any means, but I saw it as a chance to instill goodness and honesty in my son.

So, question is, do you consider this an act of theft? How about the white trash and home boys that pull up to Costco with their own 40oz cups and help themselves?
