Batangas Couple’s Take-Out Gone Wrong Experience Goes Viral
TAKE-OUT GONE WRONG – A Batangas couple became a social media sensation after their take-out experience at a local restaurant took an unexpected turn. What started as a satisfying meal ended with a dilemma over leftover food they couldn’t finish.
The couple debated whether to leave the leftover food or take it home. Despite feeling too full to finish it, the husband didn’t want to waste the pricey and delicious meal. To save face, they pretended it was for their pet dog, with the husband telling the waiter, “Boss, I’ll take this home for our dog.”
Little did they know, the waiter decided to generously add more leftovers to their take-out container. “When the waiter returned, he said, ‘I’ve included some more leftovers so your dog will have plenty,'” the husband recounted, stunned by the unexpected gesture.
Reflecting on the incident, Lorenzo admitted he was momentarily speechless and realized they should have just finished the food themselves instead of creating a story. The couple planned to enjoy the leftovers as a snack at home, but the waiter’s kind gesture left them reconsidering their approach.
This amusing yet insightful tale serves as a reminder of the importance of honesty and avoiding unnecessary complexities, especially when dealing with small mishaps like leftover food. It also highlights the kindness and attentiveness of restaurant staff, who sometimes go beyond expectations to please their customers.
The post sparked varied responses from netizens. One emphasized the importance of honesty to avoid complications, especially since there are kind-hearted animal lovers. “Dapat kasi maging honest na lang para walang aberya… lalo na’t may mababait na mga taong mahilig sa hayop.” Another simply stated, “Honesty is the best policy.”
