I had a friend that would do that. His favorite was buffets because people would leave everything. He even carried a man-bag with tupperware containers in it. It came from his childhood when his mother would work truck stops (lot lizard) to get money his dad would take and spend on booze between odd jobs. Booze and smokes before food and shelter.
To the day he died, he did that. He wasn't poor as an adult but his childhood made him the guy he was. He would yell at me for leaving food on a plate. Except in Chinese restaurants because when he was stationed in Japan he told me it was customary to leave one bite on the plate. Something to do with Asian cultures not thinking they fed you enough if you ate every last bite so to tell them you were satisfied, that's what you did.
I guess if I had to do it, I would. I'm thankful though that I don't have to.
