    Excluded middle fallacy. My favorite pizza place sends home the leff tovers* wrapped in a piece of aluminum foil. And an older friend who never manages to finish the oversize restaurant portions brings her own (glass) container. Once the waiters get over the novelty, they love the idea.

    ‍*  Wry tovers aren’t worth saving.

    Apparently, Mrs Olsen is not the half-full or half-empty type, she’s the glass-is-too-large type.

    Working in a software call center, agents were trained to say “Are there any more [product]-related questions I can help you with?” or clients would say things like “My refrigerator isn’t working, can you help me figure out why?”

    Not that one has control over the portion size the restaurant serves, but it makes the cost of the meal more reasonable when you can make two meals out of it.

    The eyes are often larger than the stomach.

    Mrs. Olsen is sharp. She sees the unanticipated opening behind the question

    I like that Mrs. Olsen is developing beyond the “clueless crab” she started out as.

    Usually, the amount of food you order has little to do with portion size. Some restaurants go overboard on the servings.

    Pretty much anything on an adult menu at your average sit down restaurant is more than you can eat. It’s definitely more than you should eat.

    I haven’t been to a restaurant in many, many years, but back then I would always take home the leftovers. Also known as “lunch I don’t have to cook” or “dinner I don’t have to cook”. Sometimes both. That was actually the only reason I could AFFORD to eat out.

    Of course, a lot of restaurants back then used cardboard for carry out.

    We typically each save half our entrée before we start eating it. Looking forward to cooler weather so I can smuggle in our own containers in my jacket pockets. Meanwhile, I applaud the restaurants that use biodegradable or recyclable containers.

    That’s a pretty decent question when you consider the green house gas emission from food waste and its impact on climate change.https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/theworldpost/wp/2018/07/31/food-waste/
