It really angers me when I hear about people doing this. Being a server, cook, or restaurant owner is a rough life and this is making it rougher. It's somehow even more disgusting when the food then needs to be wasted in a world where people are starving and a poor animal who gave its life to be made into a meal is instead slid into a trashcan.
