Like, I usually just ate one meal (plus the breakfast that was provided at the B&B). We only had one fridge for 17 students, so buying groceries was tricky. Anyway, all that to say that sometimes we would go to Pizza Hut for lunch buffet, take ziploc bags, and stow the next day's lunch in our purses.

I'm usually so full that I don't want another bite. @autumnlove: Whoa! That is crazy! I can't imagine bringing my own tupperware to a restaurant. I would have been mortified if I were those kids!! @mrs. bird: That is the craziest thing I've ever heard! I wouldn't be sending anymore invites to them!

We usually go as a family and it felt so weird he couldn't make it, so I HAD to get him one! I was all paranoid about it though, lol. Still can't believe that family with the Tupperware...

He has 2 little dogs and feels bad if he doesn't bring them leftovers. autumnlove on "Have you ever stolen food from a buffet? :-)" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-stolen-food-from-a-buffet-#post-460722 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:24:57 +0000 autumnlove 460722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @NYCaliMama: Those are soooo good! :-) SAHM0811 on "Have you ever stolen food from a buffet? :-)" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-stolen-food-from-a-buffet-#post-460716 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 17:21:07 +0000 SAHM0811 460716@https://boards.hellobee.com/ haha uh no on the Tupperware...

I'm shocked to see how much work/thought people put into this. Sometimes I feel like we don't eat nearly enough for what we paid for the buffet, but I couldn't imagine bringing my own tupperware to take home enormous amounts of food. I'd be afraid of getting caught! @Alivoo01: lolol!! We don't judge! ;) Turd Ferguson on "Have you ever stolen food from a buffet? :-)" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-stolen-food-from-a-buffet-#post-459937 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:04:11 +0000 Turd Ferguson 459937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I'm guilty of taking a cookie (or 2...) in a napkin, but that's about the extent of it. If I'm at a buffet, usually I'm so full by the end, that the thought of having MORE food kind of grosses me out. There's always room for cookies though... Alivoo01 on "Have you ever stolen food from a buffet? :-)" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-stolen-food-from-a-buffet-#post-459934 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 10:02:17 +0000 Alivoo01 459934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @mrs. bird: At Asian weddings, our receptions are generally 8-10 courses and it's almost customary for the guests to take home whatever leftover food there is on their table. I hate it because it looks so tacky, but it's impossible to stop 300+ people from packing to gos in the restaurant provided to-go containers. autumnlove on "Have you ever stolen food from a buffet? :-)" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-stolen-food-from-a-buffet-#post-459907 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:50:21 +0000 autumnlove 459907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Alivoo01: :-)!!! mrs. bird on "Have you ever stolen food from a buffet? :-)" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/have-you-ever-stolen-food-from-a-buffet-#post-459905 Fri, 21 Dec 2012 09:49:08 +0000 mrs. bird 459905@https://boards.hellobee.com/ true story: at our wedding a member of DH's extended family had taken dollar store tupperware and stuck homemade clear stickers that said, '10.01.11 Mr. & Mrs. Bird Forever. Congratulations! Love, the XYZ Family' we had no idea they were making them, let alone making 150+ for all of our guests! we were having photos taken and i saw them start to unload them from their van, i freaked out. my dad took care of it & i think most of the guests had no idea these large, 9x13, tupperware things were put in another room. we had warned the caterer that they liked to take food and that no one was to serve themselves at the buffet to try to prevent them from doing this, i was afraid they'd take all the food before the rest of the guests had eaten! we even opened bottles of wine just so they couldn't start taking whole bottles out to their cars (they've done that when invited to my parent's house for events). i've left golden corral with a ice cream cone, but i think most ppl do that. usually when i leave a buffet i've eaten enough where i don't wanna look at food for a good long while after!

A cookie maybe, but that would be it. I always make sure I get my ice cream before we leave!!
