Last night I ordered takeout, and when I looked in the bag, saw they had included four sets of plastic silverware.
In other words, someone at the restaurant packed my order, took a second to think about it, and then estimated that there must be at least four people eating to require such a large amount of food.
Too bad I was eating by myself. There's nothing like being made to feel like a fat bastard before dinner. :(

You got up early to pout over that!!! Heck, they were probably just making up for the last three times when they forgot to include the silverware.
Go back to sleep.

I am sure that they were thinking it was cheap and would break so they included extras... just in case.. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Damn you must have been uptown. My places do not give plastic anymore :ohmy:Salado TX & 30A FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

Its that lil' puppy dog sharing look you gave them.
maybe they frequent to the forum and know you eat with a gun at your side -
To be honest, I wouldn't worry about it. Most times the servers just throw in a handful of napkins, silverwear, sauce etc. They never know how many people are going to be eating it. I think you're reading too much into it.

No...Nooo...Nooo.
What they are estimating is that their cheap, crappy plastic silverware will break 3 times before you finish your meal so they include 4 sets...I got your back Gary.Thank you,DarianGalveston Texas -
I think this is a marketing ploy. They throw the extra silverware hoping its one person. They know that person will feel bad. In the majority of situation that will push that person to eat more out of depression. So the restaurant will get more orders! Don't fall into the trap!!!! :side:-Eddie

May I ask, why takeout???
Since Pam is home why aren't you cooking????? She will come home hungry later.
Shame on you :pinch:Judy

Judy,
I can't lie to you. Actually, it was in an email I received and I thought it was funny, because I think something similar happened to me a long time ago.
I cooked juicy hamburgers on the Egg for Pam last night, complete with Three Crabs Fish Sauce for umami. I can never tell her I do that ... something in her brain that is opposed to it. :ermm:__________________________________________Dripping Springs, Texas.Just west of Austintatious -
Good Morning Gary,
I was wondering, just how much food did you order?
Was this your "Average" order?
OR was this your "I'm In Need" order?
OR was this an "Insane, I Kill Cows!" order?
OR was this a "I didn't bring the Ford F350 For Nothin" order?
I'm not saying anything about the mental acuity of restaurant employees as I was one once or twice (Hey, that third time was an accident, it wasn't my fault! I don't care what they say it doesn't count.) but last I knew being able to count to four was the only prerequisite to employment. I guess you got maxed out! :cheer:
Don't feel bad, it happens to all of us . . . just some more then others.

LOL, I was in SoCal for work and like I always do when I am there I load up on In N Out, anyway, I had to fly out commercial to work on an airplane and was tight on the schedule, go it all done and didn't eat all day, hit the Drive Thru and ordered 2 Double-Double meals and a Single meal. In the elevator at the hotel some guys is talking to me and was like oh I love In N Out too, get to my floor, door opens and he says well your GUYS enjoy. I'm like man, I'm solo.

I'm not sure, but this might qualify for the WTF??? :laugh: :silly: :laugh:
