You Will Be Charged For the Food Left On Your Plate

No joke. I went out to the car and got the camera so I could take a picture of this:
"How do you determine whether or not to charge someone a dollar? I mean, how much food has to be left on the plate?" I asked. "Well, I just look at it. Sometimes people leave a lot of food, so they owe us $1. But most people are okay," the cashier said. 

I wondered if there were three of us and we each left a little on our plates, would the combined amounts get us fined? What there were tons of us and we just piled our extras onto one giant mound on a plate---would that get us only $1 in fines? 

Isn't there something about a person paying money for food that includes that person's decision to eat or not eat that food?*


Went mini-golfing and got my picture taken in a photo booth.

*Note: I did eat all of the food on my plate, and not because of that sign. I wasn't planning on wasting any, but I was really taken by the fact that management posted the sign on the payment counter. Poor people.
