Is it all you can eat, or a buffet or what?

You order them in quantities, not sure amounts.
When you go to a buffet and overfill your plate you don't take it home.
I believe it may clearly state in the menu or on the billboard eat in only. But either way I believe it is more of a point then anything else. The wings are what happy hour is to alcohol. You are drawn in by the price of the wings and usually buy drinks. They are loosing money on the wings in an attempt to offset it with alcohol sales. Someone could come in order wings with water and the bar has lost money, then to allow them to over order and expect to take them home, well you do the math. I totally agree with the bar's stand on not allowing people to over order at a reduced rate and then take them home.
Personally I am not a fan of Christmas Island but to each their own.

That's no different than asking for a doggy bag after eating your fill on a buffet..........Those loss leaders are intended to be
all you can eat,not all you can take home.
Geez....give them a break,it's a good deal.

That is the point I was trying to make BR and Sam. It isn't fair for people to expect to take them home. However, if there were 3 or 4 left on their plate and they didn't order a second helping, in other words, they didn't order too many just to take some home, why not give them to them rather than throw them away?

I'm with you tis, if there are only a few left over then why not be allowed to take them home.

If they don't want people buying 100 wings at a time and then only eating 10 there and bringing the rest home, then they should put a restriction on the amount you can order at one time. If you pay for the wings then they are yours to do what you want with them.

Maybe there is only seven in an order so you would be taking half. My concern is why are you all pissed off over a .10 cent wing.She might have a local farmer she gives all her stuff too. Who cares,again none of our business.One last thought if you don't like the policy there is plenty of other places now offering wing night.

You need to learn how to relax. I'm not "pissed" off and I would probably pay the extra .10 cents to take them home. The Original poster stated it made no sense to him/her and I stated my opinion about it.

I am allowed to have an opinion aren't I?

BTW you don't have to be concerned about me so much. It's not good for your blood pressure.

Have a good day!
