[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is such a tedious conversation. Unless you're a child or a senior, do not order from those menus! [b] It's super tacky and rude.[/b][/quote]

A) Rude to whom?!

B) I don't give two Fs if you think I'm tacky, DCUM stranger.

Like a PP, I only order off the kids' menu if we are doing takeout.[/quote]

A) rude to the restaurant owners (often family owned small businesses) and the waitstaff

B) ok but OP asked. And is not just me as a DCUM stranger. The actual human beings you stiff at the restaurants know it's rude and tacky. And the other clientele will snicker and roll their eyes at you. [/quote]

You realize any order is better than no order.  It’s not rude.  [/quote]

NP. I don't think it's a problem with takeout. I do think it's a problem when you are looking at table turnover for in-person dining. I mean, it may not a problem when literally just one person ever does it, especially if it is the fourth person in a group that would be using that table anyway, but it's never just one person -- it's a precedent. And groups of kids that order an minimal amount for one or persons but linger over sharing it for hours are a real thing in the restaurant business. That's not you, of course, but it's hard to write rules to exclude one and include the other for in person dining.

Of course, people who 1) dislike the large portions and 2) don't want to deal with packaging or find it wasteful can always just ask for a smaller amount but pay the same price. That doesn't seem to be very popular, though, even if it addresses the price per tabletop and turnover issue.[/quote]
