My brass is my brass.
When I shoot a semi-auto, I try to find as many of the casings as possible. When I eject a mag, I bench the gun and collect the brass before inserting another. This slows me down and keeps the brass from building up around me or getting picked up by someone else. (Of course I practice reloading at speed as well, but that's a separate activity.)
With revolvers, I eject the brass onto a small towel on the bench and rebox it then and there, before I reload.
When I shoot a bolt/lever action rifle, I cycle the action in such a way as to be able to corral the spent casings. Again, I box them before I reload.
I'll ask others for their brass only if I see that they're about to bucket it. Sometimes a shooter prefers that the range get the brass based on what the range does with it, and I respect that.
However, as long as nobody objects, I don't go into brass deficit. For example, if I shoot 30 rounds of .40S&W, I leave with 30 spent .40S&W casings. If that means pulling a handful from the bucket, so be it.
The bottom line: I won't pay to shoot at a range that wants to steal my brass.
