The Carnegie Deli in New York City Was Closed for 10

Essay

The Carnegie Deli in New York City was closed for 10 months because utility workers discovered that the deli had tapped into the city gas lines in order to obtain free gas for cooking. The utility determined that the deli had been siphoning gas for at least 6 years. The utility shut off the gas to the deli building until there could be a proper installation of a metered gas line. Discuss why the deli did what it did, why, and what the costs were.
