Except, if that's enough food for 2 people to eat, then why in this day and age of obesity and health problems, should people be forced (or encouraged) to consume more than needed?
And called cheap for doing so?
We share for health reasons more than anything else! If 1 meal is enough for 2 of us to get the food we need for the day, then why should we have to eat more? And, yeah, we could order it and not eat it all, but then there's that waste that was discussed.
Or, yeah, we could forego the aps and desserts, but we are in effect paying for that. IF 1 TS credit gets us 1 ap and 1 entree and 1 dessert, and that is enough food for 2 of us, then why shouldn't we be able to use it for 2 of us?
Again, that's assuming that everyone eating is on the DDP - I can see why it's not right to share with non-DDP visitors, or save to take Aunt whoever out on the day she meets up with you, but that's again cheating the system. I don't see how otherwise sharing is.
I'm curious for those of you who DO feel that sharing food is cheating - do you share when you go out to eat other times?
We almost always share. Or, take home leftovers. I cna't remembr the last time I ate an entire meal at a restaurant on my own. THey just give you too much food.
Food that I'm paying for. So, if I take home unwanted portions to have for another meal, is that cheating the restaurant?
