Waste not, eat not

Looks like that trip to the Chinese buffet just became a bit more Seinfeld-like.
Who owns this place, Mao Tse Tung? I mean, I know it's more offensive to some cultures than others to throw away perfectly good stuff, but doesn't this sound like the Ming-Nazi?
On the other side of the coin, you go into an eating establishment and repeatedly discard food that someone else could have enjoyed, you get called on it, and you're surprised?

I'd like to meet these people when they order Chinese take-out. They probably open all the fortune cookies, but toss them in the garbage, because they immediately don't care for the fortunes they get, like "Cease the day."

Yeah, screw 'em! It isn't even the waste so much as the fact that someone may have been happy to eat what they wasted - in the restaurant. Those buffets can be nice, but get there a tad late, and hungry, and don't be surprised that there's a lot no longer available!

If that's how they're raising those kids, they suck as parents, too!
