To to-go or not to to-go. .. that is the question.

    This. I've seen Euros give puzzled looks when somebody asks for a to-go box. Then I've also seen those folks totally embrace it, pleasantly surprised. Same thing goes for free refills on soft drinks.

    Europe is like 40 years behind the US on service. :p

    But there's way less fatties there (except maybe the UK slobs), so maybe they're on to something.

    Advantage: push

    I am starting to see lots of fatties in Paris as well. Unfortunately it is spreading.

    Asia has the best service. And you don't get pressured for tips, either.

    If you're dating someone who frowns upon getting a to go box at a restaurant, perhaps it is time to reevaluate your date.

    They give such huge portions, that they are meant for you to take half home.

    in high end restaurants I would agree with you

    elsewhere it depends on the country in Asia, I've found.

    Do I look cheap if I ask for free bread at the end just to put in the doggy bag?

    What if I also take all the Splenda?

    If I don't eat food I've paid for, I want it thrown in the bin immediately.

    What if you take all your silverware and some of your dishes in the to go box?

    My college crib's kitchen was all Chilis: napkins, silverware, margarita shakers, ramekins, salsa & queso dishes, & to-go condiments/plasticware

    I had great service in the myriad of 'mom and pop' restaurants in Seoul I visited. I also found that the wait staff didn't seem to care if the customers would just yell out to them.

    No woman has ever turned down dick because the guy didn't finish his meal. Y'all are being lied to.

    Let this be a valuable tool then for single guys to weed out girls who care about stupid crap and like to waste food.

    People these days are so high strung over stupid ****. Just act natural.
