    Saudi Arabian restaurant to fine customers who leave leftovers

    Saudi Arabian restaurant starts fining diners who leave leftovers



    Bit off more than you could chew? No problem - but you'll have to pay for it.

    A restaurant in Saudi Arabia has introduced a fine for leaving leftovers, in a bid to tackle the problem of food waste.

    Fahad al Anezi, owner of the Marmar Restaurant in Dammam, says some of his clients' 'egos are bigger than their stomachs', according to the news.com.au.

    He thinks his restaurant-goers are more concerned with status than watt they're eating, showing off with excessively expensive orders, and then not filling up on the food.

    Mr al Anezi says he has the backing of other Saudis, and that fines will be calculated based on the amount of food left on the plate.

      it sounds like a good idea but i don't understand why they don't wrap it and let them take it home with them. that too prevents the food from going in to waste. if a serving size is larger than you expected, you can't just sit there and eat it for the sake of not being fined.

      I am no bird, and no nest ensnares me.

      non commercial would cost less if he was in charge himself which he plans on doing. right now it's n herat but soon it will be in qanadahar.

        The article explicitly states people order elaborate expensive meals for ego and to show off

        Those same people are not taking doggy bags home
