Theft is when you use your own labor to foster the natural resources that grow on this planet and don't give the pwner class their cut.
I mean, in their defense, the only reason you can pick them up is because they're selling them. It's not free for them to keep the plants and staff there. If you can find the leaves somewhere else then that's fine, but if you can't find that plant anywhere but the store then you're effectively using a service they're offering without paying.
Sure it's not worth the full price of the plant, but it's worth something.
Yeah, go ahead and do this somewhere like Home Depot, but most garden centers and nurseries are just small businesses. They need that income and lose a lot more money from this practice than one would expect (plants can get pretty expensive).
Like, there's this rhododendron garden + nursery near me which has some truly amazing varieties. Things that you can only get there or in Bhutan, for example. They actually send people to these remote places to find rare varieties. Would I love to take a tiny cutting from basically everything there? Absolutely. But no. I pay because they're amazing and I want to support them.
The pwner class.
Nice.
