Nando's

When we have finished eating and have some left over food we bring it home.
But we also bring home the little side bowls the food is in for eg the rice bowl.
Does anyone else do this.?
Highly embarrassing but I now have a set of 4 of the brown ones.
Then they went and changed the design so now I have started on those.!
Also one of the tiny grey one's that the chilli jam is served in.
🙈

WTF?
Do you just drop the macho peas straight into your bag? I can't get my head around the logistics of this

They have plenty of take home containers. Stop stealing and stop bragging about stealing.

Also nandos is crap. The chicken is bone dry.

This actually made me laugh 😆

My mum did this with wine glasses a few years back. It was embarrassing. I think she thought she was being cool. It wasn't. It was awful. She would do things like change price tags on this so they were cheaper too. She thought it was awesome and would brag about it.

Have you considered paying to complete your collection? I assume that the dipping tray is nicked from a restaurant but the side bowl is £££

Iknowthis1 · 04/07/2023 08:50

Do you steal from other places too?

DogbertMcDogglesworth · 04/07/2023 08:51

Why don't you ask them for a tray to load the crockery onto, it will be much easier to carry then.
Or get a flat bottomed basket like those that the bloke used to have who came round the pubs selling packs of prawns to carry it all away in.
Alternatively, stop going to nandos, their food is shit.

Ds asks to keep leftovers, every time staff put the bowls in containers, so we also have a collection of Nando’s bowls.

Irequireausername · 04/07/2023 08:53

Are the bowls nice?

IAmAnIdiot123 · 04/07/2023 08:55

The staff put the little bowl in the box when packing up thr leftovers, that's not stealing. We have a collection of them too.

DrManhattan · 04/07/2023 08:56

That is so scruffy

brownbeauty80 · 04/07/2023 09:18

Most of the time it's the staff that pack the food and the bowls are in the take home box.
Sometimes this has been done at the table (by the staff)
I'm sure they put it down as breakages

I wonder if I worded my post 'What do you have in your house from a public place' would the responses have been different

Bullshit. Nando’s give you bags to pack your own leftovers, they don’t do it for you and they don’t give you free bowls.

You're backtracking because you’ve had your arse handed to you.

Nando’s is not a ‘public place’, you are not entitled to their crockery, they are a private business and you are stealing.

No, staff have packed up DS’s leftovers including the little bowls.
I’d try it myself but I never have leftovers 🐷
They break very easily, so maybe they have a high bowl turnover anyway.

You know what I have my eye on?

The little cow patterned milk bottles they have in the Malmaison. I wouldn't dare however. 😳

depends if you put the true question... 'What do you have in your house that you have stolen from a public place'
