Absolutely. We always take home leftovers and I’ve never felt embarrassed asking! Most restaurants seem to be geared up for it anyway, providing foil boxes etc.

No can’t say I ever have but I don’t tend to order more than I can eat.

Yes. I hate wasting food. I used to be too embarrassed to ask for one, but now I don't care!

The economic climate hasn’t changed my habits. I’ve always asked for doggy bag.

Completely forgot to say I am a definite YES!

Not the ones used by dog walkers - the ones for restaurant left overs! I found a previous discussion (with many hilarious comments) but it was over 5 years old.
Has the current economic climate made anyone change their view of requesting a doggy bag in a restaurant at the end of your meal, when there is a reasonable amount of good food, freshly prepared, that you have paid quite highly for?
I am not talking about a few chips from a fast food place (and I should add - your OWN plate not someone else's!
