It's just can be awkward to do it yourself, but most places don't pack it for you, so I guess I don't expect it.

I know what you mean sweetie. I've seen some very disturbing videos on CNN, MSNBC, CourtTV and others. After seeing those videos it makes me want to never go out to a restaurant again. :P
But I don't want to bring THAT up just now. Needless to say, it's always wise to be nice... very nice to your waiter or waitress. :laugh:

I love the concept of doggie bags. We have a dog, and he gets very upset if we go out to eat, and dont bring him back a treat. He is spoilt, what can I say?

In a nonpartisan nonpetison spirit, I want to add that back before my mom usurped custody of my kitties from me (the Boston era), I would always order Caesar salad with anchovies, then pack up the anchovies for Oberon & Titania. They were wild for anchovies! The folks at my regular haunts knew to do it for me without me even having to ask!
;) :laugh: :laugh:
In summary, a kittie bag is a viable option too!

In Spain neither. Sometimes I do ask for a doggy bag especially when there are too much leftovers, and my friends think it is embarrassing. I'm like, why? We paid for the food, it ours!

I have a friend who went to her grandmother's house for dinner. Grandma made a meal that my friend didn't like, so she refused to eat it. This exchange took place:
Gramma: "You eat that meal! There are millions of starving people in China that would love to have it!"
friend: "Oh yeah? Name three!"
She was made to leave the table, which is what she wanted in the first place.
:laugh:
