Pinching off a leaf seems icky, but fallen leaves are fair game.
You sound like you steal from the forest. Abhorrent thief.
~~Abhorrent~~ Arbor-ent thief.
This comment is an aberration.
~~abberration~~ arbor-ation
I suspect you called me out to do this by your choice of words. I appreciate it.
You are correct, friend, and you are welcome.
Don't think mulch about it
I'm not the most familiar with entkind, but are there non arbor ent? Are the entwives something else? Cacti?
I usually take the floor leaves and tuck them into a plant or two I actually buy. That way I'm still paying for something and I might get some freebies if I can get the extra leaves to grow but it's not guaranteed. I probably wouldn't do this at a local store tho, just the big box stores.

(this is a non-argument unless people are taking literally every other leaf)
I’m pinching off a leaf right now.
I don't think it works like that. It's like taking something that's dropped but usable from the shop floor. They might just sweep it to garbage but they probably aren't allowing you to take it anyway.
Depending on the shop, they might also be picking up and propagating fallen leaves as well.
That's true
