Is there a reason that doesn’t have to do with dogs?
On the rare occasions when I don’t finish my meal and have to refuse the to-go box — for example, if I’m traveling and don’t have access to a refrigerator — I always get the impression that the waitstaff are a little offended. I feel the need to explain that the food was delicious, but that I’m not equipped to store the leftovers.
So, can you enlighten me as to why some consider this behavior rude? I know the term “doggie bag” has weird connotations, possibly because people don’t like to think of a dog eating the nice restaurant food, but I do not own a “doggie” and almost never hear this term anymore.GENTLE READER
