I went into a Chinese restaurant in Perry, Florida just a few minutes before eleven (closing time) one evening. I explained they didn’t have to add anything to the buffet, just let us eat whatever was left. Gripe all you want about the Chinese government but these many years later I still feel grateful to those folks who offered to fix anything extra we wanted. They took pity on travelers.
Had a similar experience in a Japanese restaurant in Singapore decades ago. Friend and I were invited to join them for their evening mean, full traditional meal which ended in the early hours of the morning.
“Might I recommend the pickle juice with mustard seeds and pimento? Otherwise, we’re going to throw it out. And oh, there is a doggie bag somebody forgot to take.”
As per the famous W. C. Fields comedy sketch where he is in the restaurant trying to order various menu items, the waiter needs a pencil to cross out each item as it is ordered and rejected.

This happens when a fast food place transitions from breakfast to lunch and you want breakfast food.

As long as you don’t put it in the dumb waiter, I’ll try it.

It’s either chef’s surprise or maybe mystery meat.
