So the instructions for this shop say no to go containers or doggie bags. What I am wondering is if they mean we can't order to go, but are only allow to take leftovers. I just find it hard to imagine this makes any sense.

Coyle is very specific as to not take home any leftover. There is no mistaking order-to-go vs leftovers.

Shopaholic, it isn’t getting the leftovers that the MSC is worried about - it’s the overordering “because we can just take it home” which could both out you as a shopper and annoy the client. (I don’t agree, but this is what one MSC owner told me.) On a similar note some MSCs or clients always prohibit ordering the most expensive item. I likewise think this is foolish as a blanket policy - but I don’t set the rules here.
I remember telling you it was not worth it when you were entering them on your phone.@Niner wrote:
Coyle reports take me around five hours. Now that it been so long since I've done one, I have no idea how I ever thought this was a good idea. I won't be doing those again.

I don't know what you're writing, but I have never spent more than 90 minutes (Usually less) and have never received under a 90 as a score if I am correct. Pay is the same. 90 minutes versus 5 hours. Huge waste of your time, especially with the new "one and done" scheduling.I am lucky to type 30-40 WPM. MickeyB is my hero. They type like the Tasmanian Devil.@Niner wrote:

I used a laptop and it took at least five hours. As a lawyer, I'm used to writing lengthy documents, so that part wasn't new. It worked out to around $50/hr after tax, so I was okay with it. Now, with the increase in my work, I don't have the luxury of that kind of time. I would need to earn around $500 for a $250 meal. After taxes, medicare, and social security, around half of my paycheck evaporates. So, it seemed worth it. Now, no way.

Let’s not forget it’s a “doggy bag”. I also know plenty of wealthy folks who bring home leftovers for their dog particularly if there is a large bone involved.

I once had a server sneer at me for taking home the bone from a marrow order. The most literal doggy bag item you could get.
I don't have a dog though. I wanted it for soup.

I and the rest of us slowpokes need a class in how to write a fine dining report in 90 minutes or less. I do not work for Coyle but most fine dining reports take me over 2 hours. From what i read i would be closer to the 5 hour group Niner is in with one of theirs.
Anyone want to give pointers? I type slowly, my memory of exact quotes is terrible so i have to note them down and then look them up. Timing of food brought to the table takes a long time to reconstruct for me too. Voluminous notes is my nemesis. .

Wow, what restaurant serves marrow? Besides Osso Buco?

Book, I see where you’re coming from, but I don’t think society would benefit from the health care impact that would be caused if I ate every fry on every fast food shop. Society is far better off with my donating a portion of the hefty bonuses to food banks. And the environment would be worse off if another shopper ordered and ate burgers instead of the meatless options I usually go with.
