Eww . . . I'm not eating that!

This would actually be a real concern of mine, since if there's one thing I can't stand it's people trying to figure out ways to stiff servers. I would be willing to spend the dining credit and tip off of the resulting total bill, which would leave the server in the same position as if I had eaten there.

Well, no it wouldn't. If one diner brings in food, and two diners order from the menu, the total bill reflects two meals - and so the tip, based on the explanation quoted, would be calculated on the two-meal check.

But this thread is not about tipping. I would expect, for normal, sensible, health reasons, no you cannot bring in outside food - even if it was prepared in the same building. Common sense.

The OP has their answer regarding carrying in food;. It is not allowed and the restaurant will accommodate them with a children's meal for their adult credit.

Since the main issue left to discuss is tipping, we are closing this thread and directing everyone to the tipping thread for further discussion/questions.
