Should a person apologize if they are unaware they did anything wrong?
While staying with a friend, my husband stole the covers all night long. When I told him what he’d done the next morning, he said tersely, “I didn’t know,” but didn’t apologize.
If you meant to steal the covers , this would be a very different conversation – possibly one with criminal repercussions. We allow people to ask for unlimited sauces and refills at the counter, but provide them easy access to napkins, utensils and other condiments in the dining room. Guests are expected to clear their tables of trash, but we wipe down the tables and chairs.
