It's called theft. They charge you. If you are a merchant and you are right, you call the cops.

Are you ****ing serious? The vast majority of merchants don't even charge shoplifters. Why? It's more expensive to do so than to just catch them in the act and ban them from entering in the future.

It is NOT theft if it's a "our word against theirs" situation. The Oilers can say "we expected the billing to be done per bottle", the restaurant can claim this was never agreed, then the cops say "a judge can decide" and that's that.

You very clearly have no understanding of how the Canadian legal system works.
