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

    Europe is generally behind in service but the US is about 20 years behind in billing. Seriously, embrace the chip card technology, US! Europeans now get nervous if anyone ever takes their card out of sight.

    UK still doesn't have nearly as many overweight as the US.

    I also agree about Asian countries having good service but my experience is somewhat limited.

    If you hate your date, take her to an Indian restaurant, leave a big portion on your plate, pack it to go, and leave it inside your car.

    ...unless your date happens to be Indian, in which case you are out of luck. Because not only are you not getting laid, she ate all your leftovers as well, and thought it was a great date.

    It's the central point. What kind of man doesn't want to be either overweight, stupid with money, or both! RAWR!

    Really? Appetizers at Ikea then dinner at Steak Kounty Buffet seems like a classy outing to me.

    never actually heard of this thought process.. the power of the punani, I guess ;)

    but if I paid for it I will take it and finish it later. the food's just gonna get trashed anyways so why waste it?

    I was actually thinking more along the lines of Golden Corral or CC's Pizza when I made that comment.

    Not really familiar with the buffet scene in Houston. Why? Well, let's just say that I don't exactly have the required self-control to do buffets very often. :)

    LOL
    She will do it AND like it.

    On camera!!

    Fixed


    I kid

    Careful, the re-order may have contained the waiter's mucus.

    Try to never return food at a restaurant.

    That would be stealing, lol. Unless you pay for it but Chinese buffets charge but pounds usually and it could get quite expensive

    If you are so concerned about it, finish your food like a big boy or order something smaller.
