Not knowing all the in's and out's of the restaurant business, this question may not be appreciated, but here goes. Why could the restaurants not serve smaller portions and charge a little less for each entree? That would eliminate the need for people to share. Many of us who no longer work, simply cannot eat that much and it is a shame to waste. Surely they could make more than $5.00 per person by doing this due to sheer volume. Surely the profit is not $5.00 per entree, is it? Too many things, for instance, are not good warmed over so why take it home? What about those who choose to eat and then do something else instead of going straight home? My mother could never enjoy eating out in her later years because the portions were so large and after living through the depression years, she just could not fathom all that waste.
