Doesn't the room frown on taking chips out?

Ha, I'm not really taking the moral high ground, I just want to know how one discreetly walks out of the poker room carrying a rack of chips.

I recently walked out of the casino with a few chips after a dealer told me to put some in my pocket when I had to refill after moving tables and we didn't have correct change. My guess is his friend did something similar.

So he just kept taking $60 worth of $1 chips home each time he played.

Commerce is insanely huge. If you pocket what you can easily carry, no one will notice at all. It's a trek just to get to the cages.

You paid for them, do whatever you want. The room makes a lot of money if chips are not cashed in. Most places encourage you to not cash in your chips.

In the case of the Commerce $1 chips, they are actually more expensive than their value in cash, ie they cost more than $1 each. This of course is not true of any higher denomination chips.

I have 3 racks of green in my house right now. Sometimes you just don't care to cash out. Our local rioom doesn't have a box rental so I walked out the door. They don't really care. Now if it was a rack of $500 cheques I'm sure there would be an issue, they tend to tracks those closely.
