When we eat at fast food restaurants usually we are given sachets of tomato sauce or if it is coffee or "halo-halo" sachets of sugar. However, very often we do not use them. Do you bring them home with you? To be honest, if it is sugar, yes, I take it home with me, but sauces, no. How about you?

There was a time before that we use to take home tomato sauce too. I was working abroad before. Me and my mates are a little stingy 'though catsup is always on our grocery list, we sometimes still take home those sauces But as I recall many of those ends up in garbage as we find it more easier to oopen those in bottles. Sugars, well I would take them home too maybe. It's just rare that I get sugar. I don't usually drink coffee outside and for halo halo I use it all so there is nothing for me to take home.

When im working in a hotel under housekeeping department i take the sugar that left by the guest. It is very useful when im mixing coffee at home. I never experienced to order halo halo with extra pack of sugar. I think taking an order of coffee in coffee shop is too expensive thats why i make my own from home..

I take back a lot of creamer, sugar and sauces because mom like it. I usually dine at McDonalds and each time we take we are very careful if someone is watching us. Anyway, we never been caught but now we are no longer dine as always because mom and I are on diet.

I love to eat in mcdonalds because of their refillable gravy.. yum yum yum. When me and my friends are eating there we get the pitcher of gravy and we transfer it into our disposable glass.

hello, No, I did not bring anything at home because I used it. ha ha and there is no more to take home. I think it is alright because they already give that to you and the thing is you did not used it so, you can take that home.

Most of the time when i eat in a fast food restaurant i get a lot of tomato sauce from the counter and i also use it when im eating there. When there are still left i bring it home. But i don't take home gravy because it might spill in my bag.

Yeah, I'll do. I have payed for those food include the sauce or sugar, of course. So, they are mine. I can use it at home. It is more effective and economic, I think. Hahahaha. Once, I and my friend went to a Japanese restaurant and we're given chop stick and spoon-fork. Cos of I'm unable to use chop stick, so I use spoon-fork and the chop sticks are keep clean on its package. Seeing those chop sticks, my friends said, "How poor are you here. I'll save you and bring you home". Hhahaha, I just know that there are many things could be brought home,

Hi cutie! Yes, I do take them home. Actually, I keep a packet of different ones in a zip-lock bag in the glove compartment of my car. Sometimes when getting fast foods in the drive-through window, they forget to put them in, and it's handy to have some to use. I also keep a bunch of them in the fridge, and the extra sugars I keep in a cupboard. They're nice to stick into school, or work, lunches too. I have also used the little ketchup ones when I made a meal at home and realized that my big bottle of ketchup ran out. The little horseradish packets from Arby's are sometimes a nice little addition to mayonnaise when making egg salad. (If I bought horseradish in a jar, it would spoil before I used it all lol.) I do keep those sauces too, esp those like you get with McNuggets etc. They make for nice dipping with raw veggies, and sometimes other foods too. They're nice too for when somebody at home is sick, or has to stay in bed, and they need to eat off a tray.

I would. usually if they are given to me already i would bring it home with me if they were not consumed. with sauces, i would take home those that are in sachets, but never the sauces in disposable plastics with cover(the ones they use for gravies.) They are really good to use. often i would just stock it in the office and use them in case (especially ketchups) i would some fried food needing some ketchup or sauces. :D

We actually have a section in our fridge for these packets. We don't ask for them, but when we do go out, or get some food home, they always have these packets in the bag. They can become handy sometimes. Although we have the bottle versions at home, we use them when we pack our own lunches for work.

Yes, i always take home those sauces , specially ketchup and hot sauces in sachets that were not used. Usually i would keep them at the office, so i could use them when my lunch needs them. They come handy for office use.

I actually take these things home, as long as they are my share. I have paid for my share, and I will bring them home. However, if these things are on the table of someone else, then they do not belong to my share, so I would not bring them home.

I take everything, sugars, condiments, salts, etc. It's very useful to have them. I mean it's free food, why would I not want to take them home? I especially like to have hot sauce packets from Chinese take-away restaurants and sweet and sour sauce from fast food places.

During my first year of college, I got into the habit of taking home the codiments when I eat out because I didn't have a full kitchen but try to make my own meals with whatever I can. SO sometimes I would be eating rice that I cook with a microwave that is seasoned with soil sauce I got from a fast food restaurant.

Ha ha, this kind of thing, my son particularly like. In the restaurant we did not use words, my son would have put them back home. Of course, I can't stop him. In the us, the situation is very normal. Happy every day!
