During college I was so poor I'd take the extra toilet paper rolls from restrooms at my university. When I was working serving shifts in my mid 20's I *definitely* took home people's leftovers. I mean, yeah, you can argue it's "unhygienic" or that you could get sick, but the risk to benefit ratio skewed highly in my favour, especially considering how good the food was. I wouldn't take scraps, but you'd be shocked at how many people will order entire plates of food and barely touch it. I ate like a king every work day, and often had leftovers for lunch. No regrets. Never got sick. Just had to avoid the manager seeing.
