Hey once we were eating at a tacobell and a man came in and took one of the chairs!! Gotta wonder if that guy that stole that has a bunch of tacobell chairs at his dining room table at home? weird...
He got fourthmeal at Taco Bell but he's still looking for fourthchair.
Have they heard of "doggie bags?" ...I always take 1/2 my food home because I can never eat the portions most restaurants serve....
These are the people who don't want to take the food home. I always ask if people want a to go box. Its not like the food is bad, people love the food where I work. I just dont understand why they waste perfectly good food.
When I used to go out to eat I would take home any portion I wasn't able to finish and eat it for the next meal. Why would someone waste money, time, and effort by not taking it home?
I once went to lunch with co-workers to a non fast food restaurant. I got a hamburger and it sucked. I could only eat about half of it. As we were leaving a co-worker asked if I was going to get a to go box for the rest of my burger.
I said no, it was dry and shriveled up now, how bad will it be when I get home in four hours?
Dr. Phil had this guy on his show Friday. his wife said he was the cheapest man in the world. Here were some things she said he does.
He pulls grapes off the stem and puts them in a bag before buying them so he isn't paying for the stem. Dr. Phil got a grape stem and weighed it and said based on the average cost of grapes, the stem cost 11 cents.
He takes ketchup packets from fast food places and squeezes them into a ketchup bottle so he doesn't have to buy ketchup. He even stops into places and gets packets without buying any food.
He once gave his wife flowers. she thought that was nice, until she saw a sympathy card inside and he admitted he got them from a trash dumpster behind a funeral home.
When they eat out, he asks other diners if he can have food they aren't eating to take home with him. He said about 90% of people do give him their food.
Does he travel to those fast food stores by car? Gas?
There is frugal, there is cheap, and there is mentally ill. This guys is somewhere between cheap and mentally ill. I am also surprised he managed to find a woman who'd tolerate this kind of... eccentricity. All in all, I suppose good for him as long as he is happy, but personally I would be afraid of being a cheapskate like that, I'm all for being frugal, living within means, not wasting stuff, etc, but I do not want to be worried about a dime of grape vines, I simply do not want my day to be ruined because I couldn't save a penny.
You could get sick by taking other people's food and it will cost more lol
