The staff gave you a break by letting you travel without buying a
ticket beforehand. You abused their trust by choosing not to purchase
a ticket at the destination.

Stop trying to sound like they were doing me a favour!
Just how long would you wait in a restaurant for the waiter to come with
your bill before you walked out? 2 hours? 3 hours?

Not an accurate comparison.

In a restaurant you consume the product _before_ you pay.

In a supermarket you consume the product _after_ you pay.

A more reasonable question would be.

How long would you wait in a checkout queue before wheeling the
trolley out without paying?
