I kinda just want to link to the explainxkcd page for this one. It (at least at of time of writing) goes into all the reasons why this comic is wrong. For example , chips are not highly resellable, especially not restaurant table chips which might have sat out for days.
This is a verbatim quote from explainxkcd: "[...] Cueball, who is (depending on how you interpret the simple art-style) holding his hands up in front of his mouth in shock, covering the lower half of his face in shame, covering his eyes out of denial, cradling his forehead in his hands to soothe the oncoming headache, sliding his palms down the front of his face in disgust, or eating chips. Possibly all six in sequence.". That's not me being nitpicky about the art, that's the fans not knowing what it's supposed to be.
There's also an issue that hasn't been mentioned yet, which is that if people just took free chips en masse, to the point where the restaurant would lose money, the restaurant would stop buying the chips to put out for free.
My friend Will, who's with me as I write this, says "Looks like the spiky haired douchebag's swiping all the chips.".
