Do You Take Leftover Rolls From A Restaurant? - Page 7

If it's a reputable restaurant, they'll go straight into the garbage
so there is no shame in taking them home. Ask for a bag though, don't
shove them into your purse.

I agree - it's stealing. Plus, it just seems extremely tacky. I
mean, how expensive is bread or danish anyway?

I LOVE restaurant rolls or bread. It's always so yummy, but I ask for
an extra to-go box or bag if there are 'leftovers'.

OK, Eew. Not only is that gross, but would you want to eat something
that was on somebody elses table? Yuck. Any restaurant worth their
beans would not re-serve rolls or bread that was in a basket. Most
waiters don't care if you took them, just for this reason.

Not sure if it's considered a 'law' but you have to get a food handers
permit (take a 1 day class & pass a test) to work in any food
establishment, and this one of the food handling rules.

I'm embarrassed to say that as a young couple, our bar was stocked
entirely from glassware from all the O'clubs in the Washington, D.C.
area. One drink at a time.. just carrying them out at the end of a night.
Shamed.

Heh, you reminded me of my maternal grandmother -- Mom was too
embarrassed to ask for a doggie bag (I have no idea why) so she'd
make my grandmother shove the leftovers into her purse. I found
that a *lot* more embarrassing...

To Lou I think if you have a meal leftovers you need to take it home or
give at to someone who need it . Christine

In France, you expect to get given bread at each meal. The fact that
French bread won't last more than half a day means that I don't mind it
being "recycled" from one table to another 'cos I'd much rather that
than having yesterday's bread !

What annoys me more is the "quaint" custom of being charged for bread in
the UK !
