Excuse me, we're ready to pay for the meal!

They paid for that shit, they can do what they want

>being such a cheap fuck that you can't leave the leftovers without having to squeeze out every penny that you paid for the meal
get a job that isn't McDonalds and don't ever come back to one of my restaurants again

>neck you
Fuck anyone who actually says this.
Sounds retard as fuck.

...

Who calls them doggy bags, wtf. Just ask to have it boxed. At a nice place you shouldn't even have to ask. They'll box it, bag it, and bring it out to you before you leave.

What's your actual problem with it?

Too many times waiting for friends to get their styrofoam containers?

Too many times being the person to fetch the styrofoam containers?

Cheapskate restaurant manager who has to order too many styrofoam containers?

Hes just some fucking loser on the internet, halfway roleplaying as Gordon ramsay. Just let it go.

Wrong! They paid for the experience, the food is a byproduct. If they didnt want the experience, they should just order in. Either way, I ain't boxing up the decor.

It has nothing to do with muh money's worth. It's an ethical thing. Tons of food gets wasted in this country every day. That's something I don't want to be a part of. Throwing food away is is something I just can't handle on a moral level.

HEHEHE XD SIMPSONS DID IT FIRST XDDDD

No. The menu doesn't say "the experience of eating a steak in this restaurant", it says "steak"

Why should the food be thrown away if I'm willing to eat it later?

Can confirm - faggot here, /lgbt/ is a trash containment board

It doesn't say to tip either, so just go eat outside nigga.

Neck yourself

up until the 50's, dogs and cats only ate what scraps their owners gave them, or what they could catch outside, kibble is a relatively new invention. Why do you think all those old Tom & Jerry cartoons had the animals so desperate for people food and bowls of milk?

>Why do you think all those old Tom & Jerry cartoons had the animals so desperate for people food and bowls of milk?

Plot device?

"The experience"

Fuck off. If anyone notices the decor after the food's arrived, you need to up your game.

>Experience is only decor

Found the BOH simpleton.

They're going to notice the service. The music. How close or far away the next table is. These things are always right there.

The lighting? The colour on the walls? The wood of the table? These should be nothing more than a pleasant backdrop to the company and the meal, lost to memory, but enjoyed at the time.

Nobody ever leaves a concert humming the light show. Now shine your shoes and look presentable. You're serving people after all, not republicans.

Animals who are well fed still behave like this

You might pay for the experience, but personally, I only care for the food. As long as the food tastes good, you could serve it to me in a completely featureless room for all I care.

does anyone even say doggy bag anymore though

BRB

Why does your whining ass remind me of the kid in 4th Grade who felt so tired because "He couldn't find bottles of Sea Water anywhere!" because he came from California and apparently all they drank was Sea Water. You are just bitching about how things are different and you dont liek it.

Exactly, that's why you aren't supposed to tip.

It depends on the restaurant. If I feel like there's so much food, that I'm paying for food that I can't possibly eat at once sitting, then yes, I'll ask for a container. I NEVER use the words "doggie bag", even though I know why people call it that, it's just rather tasteless.
However, I've never gone to any upscale restaurant or well run restaurant where I needed a container to take with me. Good restaurants know how to portion food appropriately so you don't leave hungry, but also so there's no waste or leftovers.
In other countries it's considered absolutely distasteful and classless to ask for a container to take your leftovers with you, but they also don't overload the portions like most of the US does (although I think we're rubbing off on them, I've seen some pretty big portions of mediocre food in my travels).

>Not wanting cold tendies the next day for breakfast

Half of everything tastes better left over anyway
The ACTUAL reason some restaurants refuse to let people take their food home is because once they're out the door, what the customer does with the food is out of their control but they are still liable. If some dipshit takes chicken home, leaves it overnight on the bench and gets sick the from it the next day or even the day after that the restaurant can be sued

>yeah but good places just do perfect portions xd
I don't know if you've ever actually served or eaten with other people before but people tend to have wildly fluctuating appetites. There is no one 'perfect' portion size that caters to everyone, and that's even excluding overeating fat shits
