How am I cheap? That's like going to Mcdonald's and them giving you 1 package of ketchup for fries....so you should go the store and buy a big bottle of ketchup so you will never have this problem again

I've never in my life been to a Chinese place that charged an extra 25 cents for soy sauce with take out, but if you don't have 25 cents--you're either broke or cheap.

Thats a new one on me! Unless of course you mean the Scots, who do have a bit of a reputation of short arms and deep pockets. Thats not something Ive found to be true though to be honest.

Guess you've been to all of them then....And the 25 cent is hardly the issue the fact is that they don't give you enough for the amount of food that was purchased....

I would say Chinese too. I am basing it on the Chinese people I know in my country. Every penny counts.
Next on my list are Portuguese. The Portuguese people I know are always saying " it's very expensive " when if it's in the Philippines people I know don't say "it's expensive" but just buy it or would just take the plunge even if it is a little bit hard.

Must be pretty s**ty Chinese food to begin with if you have to slather soy sauce all over it.

What about asking for an extra slice of cheese without paying extra money?

By the way, I've been to many Chinese restuarants and I never encountered the problem you described.
