have you ever?

i have read a tip about taking food bags with you to the restaurants and if your child doesnt eat all of their cake or biscuits ect then take them with you.
has anyone ever done this and did anyone ever say anything or did you get any funny looks?
my youngest will be 3 when we go and cant sit still on a good day so i thought it might be a good idea.

don't worry about bringing your own food bags - just ask them to pack up the food 'to go' - americans do it all the time - they really don't take any notice !!! ( I do so love America!!! )

If you leave anything at all, you'll be asked if you want it boxed. You're more likely to get funny looks if you don't want to take food away with you.

We never take anything with us, if we have any food left we just leave it, the staff cant understand it sometimes, they keep saying "are you sure I can't box it"
People even do it in buffets, stuff themselves then pile up their plate and ask for a box, I can't believe they do it but it happens.

i always see people do that at olive garden, which isn't a buffet, but it is all you can eat (or sometimes is all you can it, i'm not sure if it always is)..
people will totally stuff themselves and then order one last round of pasta, put their fork into it for show and then ask to have it boxed up....amazing to me....

we also never box anything up (and it drives the servers crazy), but i wouldn't hesitate to take a child's cake or bisquits, if my kids were little....
