Is it okay to ask for a doggie bag?

Absolutely! It's much better to take extra food home (for yourself, or your dog) than to waste it. Just don't make a big deal about it -- ask your server discretely.

Also keep in mind that asking to have food packed up makes extra work for your server. If the restaurant is really busy, please be patient if it takes time to get your doggie bag.

While it ensures that you're getting your own food and not someone else's, we really don't care for the practice of having takeout containers brought to the table to pack up your leftovers. Handling partially eaten food is something that's better done out of the sight of other diners.

Note: This "info'toon" first appeared on our site in July of 1999. We hope you'll enjoy it and some of our other "vintage" tips during the next few months.

We welcome your inquiries about our training services and publications.
