Not can. I know you can. I mean should you? Are the goods complimentary or is it stealing?
The answer's really simple. You ask the staff if the goods are recycled or if you are allowed to take them. You ask if it's possible to take a pen. Sometimes they say no. Sometimes they say yes. Sometimes they give you two. Sometimes they hand it to you and say, 'Sh - don't say I gave it to you!'
Sometimes they say, 'Of course, love,' or 'You're welcome, madam.' That way you don't have to worry that your bag will tumble and drop the goods in the lobby and you'll get arrested or die of embarrassment. Instead, if out of luck, you can shrug and think, 'Worth a try,' or, 'glad I didn't spoil their day'. Or, if they gave it to you, you leave feeling happy and grateful, while the staff look affable and generous.
