When the headline Student saves thousands with genius freebie-hunting tricks to never pay for food for two years caught my eyes, the question of who then pay for his food flashed across my mind. The student had a number of tricks like signing up as casino members to qualify for a complimentary Chinese buffet and going to restaurants and cafes at closing time to collect whatever that was being chucked out. Very good idea, I suppose. It's not as if he had stolen something and broken the second Buddhist precept: Adinnadana veramani sikkhapadam samadiyamiI undertake the precept to refrain from taking that which is not given.
