Wasting food is okay(ish)?

Today I finally spare some time to sit, open my laptop, and actually write some shit.
It’s 12:30 p.m., the time when most people have lunch break. I have just finished having mine in Laksa Medan Ny. Guat, it’s nothing like mindblowingly delicious but it’s enough to satisfy my hunger.
Right now I’m sitting at a coffee shop near where I stay, about 10 minutes, I looked it up yesterday on Google Maps, and judging from the interior and abundance of sofas, I thought the place was promising, which indeed it is! A sofa in a coffee shop is a must, I don’t understand why some places choose to put the most uncomfortable chairs, isn’t coffee shop supposed to be comfortable for customers? Maybe they choose to sacrifice customers’ comfort for profitability.

And back to this shit I’m writing, I’m trying to put every thought that comes to my mind carefully. Ah, there’s an interesting thing about this “Satu Watt” coffee shop in Taman Permata Indah, if you look at the review, I think there is 2 photos on the review that show the faces of the baristas/waitress in close up, and here the review goes.

and the lady on the right was the cashier that served me. I was like, girl did you know someone wrote about you on the internet? As I’m writing this piece, I think the owner asked her, “where was Dita?” And the cashier answered, “I don’t know, to the sea, maybe? Hahaha” I wouldn’t dare guess what happened between them, but being kind and fitting in are both equally important in life.

And for the coffee itself? Too sweet, even though I asked for less sugar, but it is way too sweet for me. I think I will not drink anymore of this. Must care more about my blood sugar rather than people’s judgement that I waste food.

Every single one of my post should have a message to the reader.

I think for this one is that we should be able to prioritize what should be to what shouldn’t be. This is very controversial, but I think is wasting food is okay, as long as we don’t do it purposely. Ordered a food somewhere and the portion is too huge? Okay no need to hurt your stomach and killing your diet by forcing yourself to eat it. Health comes first. You can take away, and if you don’t want to, then just leave it, regretfully. But ordering food in large serving knowing you can’t finish it and planning to waste it? Then that’s condemnable. That’s my take, not going to both extremes.

Once in my university time, my buddhist community friends and I had dinner at Nasi Goreng Mandiri, and one of them ordered one too spicy, so spicy that she cried and tried to stop eating it. I told her to just leave it, and she might ordered the less spicy one next time. But the other friends, almost all of them except me, supported (basically forcing) her to finish the nasi goreng. And finishing it she did. I wouldn’t dare guess what happened to her stomach that night.

This kind of situation sometimes makes me wonder, am I the odd one out? But my logic and everything I learned so far said otherwise. At that time I would think that maybe I was wrong. But after living 10 more years of my life, I’m proud to say I was right. I had been thinking while they had been following what has been told.
