Doggie bag

[agent006140]

sorry,I have never seen anyone using mayonaisse with their hot dog,burger or fries.
I use them for making potato salad and devil egg,mixed with mustard.
OOPS,I will have a tuna sandwish for lunch,I will add some mayonaise to make it tastier !

[rsot]

To each their own - I have seen plenty of ppl using mayo on those items - enjoy the tuna sandwich...mayo does make that have a nice texture hah

May be I am not clear on this doggie bag situation-
In a traditional Chinese restaurant,each person orders a dish,all the dishes will be placed in the center of the table with serving spoons so we get to try every dish.
the leftovers are safe to take home,reheat and consume !
But most of the time,there is not much left worth taking home.

Sounds like dim sum - very enjoyable

Have you not considered you could actually ask them bluntly privately?

Why not visit their home and figure out what other demons could be leading to these odd behaviours

Seems abit malicious to vent online, could they be struggling for cash and eating the remains to save money on the next meals?

[agent006140]

This person has been doing this every time,there are more left over now as people seem to order too much.
I am not venting,I just try t o find out why?
This person drives a Lexus,but then she could be cash poor,once she said her HOA/month runs into $600.
I have seen people pickup sushi at a party,I have seen hostess taking what we bought from restaurant to her party and fed it to her dogs !
In some society,watching what a family have for dinner gives you a pretty good idea of their financial situation,as it is usually attended by all members of the family and is the most important meal of the day.

Well now you can find out by asking her.

It would be too INVASIVE -going to someone's house and find out why?
Look into the fridge?look at the furniture? look at the lawn and backyard?
Food is not really expensive unless you have a large family.

If you have poor communication skills, I could see why. But in terms of helping out friends, I’d always prioritise asking tough questions and helping fellow humans, especially someone who is in a regular group of friends I hang out with.

Do you find yourself always venting about people’s behaviours and leading a confrontation free life?

[agent006140]

It is rude to ask someone in a dinner group if she is hardpressed for money,ever heard of saving face ?

Generally you’d start with a relatable story of a time when you used to do that and gently ease into a conversation privately and say look, if you ever need a hand or someone to talk to about what’s going on let me know. I don’t want to come across as weird or invasive but looking out for you, I’d love to know how I can help.

There is an Oscar waiting for you

Do you consider this group of ppl as close friends agent? Ppl you could rely on/dependable?

[agent006140]

I have known them for years but not really close,4 do not cook,they eat out every day,myself and another do cook.
Personally,I do not care to eat out daily,too much seasoning .
One restaurant on our list just went under.

That's kind of sad to read - known for years...ah well

[agent006140]

Some restaurants are now charging for those styrofoam cartons !

[sax4]

Wow agent is dragging up it's own old thread about her friend from the sunshine bus taking home leftovers. Must be a slow Sunday.

[agent006140]

It is Saturday,not Sunday.
But no one forces you to read ,so do me a favor and stop reading my posts.
BTW,some restaurants are not just charging for styrofoam cartons,they also ask diners to add 3% tip for kitchen help.
Anyone who is watching the ICE riots,some businesses said they cannot survive without illegals working in their shops for peanuts !

[rsot]

Morning chuckles - agent, actually it was Sunday when you posted.

[agent006140]

The time is wrong,it said I posted 4 hours ago,which means 6:45 am Central time, this morning.
Well,it does not matter,some services are charging 3% if you use a credit or debit card
Some would not accept credit cards.

[rsot]

Yeah I hate when places put the 3% fee on when you use a credit card - I get it that the merchant doesnt like the fee but passing the charge on is irritating
