I dunno, I can't understand this American thing about doggie bags.

Don't your restaurants have any idea of portion control? Why is it that
they serve you so much that you can't eat it all? Wouldn't it be more
sensible to have smaller portions and charge less?

The idea of somebody expecting you to share their leftovers is too
bizarre. Is this normal troll behaviour?
