So everyone knows American restaurants these days serve portions that are enough to feed a loving Roman legion so there's always leftovers to-go. At this point you are required to play to-go roulette and find out in an awkward moment of "oh I thought YOU did that since you do things here" they hand you an empty box and expect you to perform labors instead of discretely packaging and bundling your precious food cargo. This is loving bullshit, sound off and let your gay voice be heard!

I demand all of my leftovers to be given to me in an elegant foil swan. No elegant foil swan, no tip.

no no, you're all wrong. The server should box it for you because you are tipping them.

Burritos kind of suck reheated but you're probably stoned or drunk when you do eat the rest Sushi isn't too good after more than a couple hours but it's expensive so why not Salad is soggy and gross after a couple hours if you put dressing on it and the croutons will be stale Steak is kinda ehhhhh. It's fine-ish cold, but you can't really warm it up without overcooking it, plus you should finish your steak at the restaurant... don't eat so many sides next time Indian and most asian foods are up there with pizza though, box them fuckers up! I dunno, weigh in peeps, what foods suck to box up and what foods are good?

One time I got a box for some Chinese food and I totally wasn't expecting to have the lady stand there and scoop all the stuff off my plate for me. It was awkward as gently caress, 'cause I'm right in the middle of telling a story to my parents, and I'm not going keep talking with this waitress right drat next to me. It wasn't about anything private or offensive - so thinking on it, I don't know why I felt weird, but I would've been happy to do it myself. I'm real loving lazy but I think I can handle the scooping of food. edit: I just tried it again and hosed up so maybe it was for the best. Still.

The servers at the local Vietnamese place are fairly insistent on putting your leftover pho into the plastic container cups themselves. The serving bowls are very wide and most people just end up making a mess when they try to pour leftovers into a to-go bowl, so they probably just want to avoid having to inevitably clean up a third of a pho order off the table. All the sides you use during dinner (cilantro, chilis, bean sprouts) mean it doesn't actually reheat very well, though, so the whole process is kind of a waste. It's one of the few mainstream Asian foods that doesn't keep well.

My favorite is when you have a relatively small portion left but still wanna eat it later and then they bring out one of the big containers that could hold an entire dish.

I prefer to box it myself rather than let the dude or lady making minimum wage do it badly for me. [Edit] who the hell takes home leftover pho. god drat hipsters. if i asked my local pho place for a to-go cup they would stare at me like the idiot white man I am. They barely even speak english and that's probably why its so good. They only take cash and its 3 miles away from the tannery. Get the small. gently caress now I sound like a hipster.

Maybe a side wasn't very good or something on the plate simply won't keep as long as the rest, so you can put that poo poo away to your specs rather than having someone more interested in getting you out the door for their next tip than do menial nonsense for you

Things with stew meat might even be better as leftovers! So chile and poo poo like that is great to make in large quantities, you can even freeze it in baggies for lunch sized portions.

Go to a restaurant where they don't serve you too much food instead. The food is also better usually.
