QuestionA restaurant lets you eat
the food there or to take it out. If you notice that the portions for
take-out tend to be a bit larger than the ones eaten on the counters,
because the containers are a bit larger, is it OK to say you want it to
take out, and then take the container and eat it at the counter?
Answer
The smaller portions are given to those who are eating in the
restaurant, because there is a service charge for using the table and
chairs, facilities etc. So if a person is eating out, the restaurant can
give a little extra food, because it's the same total value. But to take
both? Chas ve Shalom (G-d forbid). How can you take both?
