Why do WLS patients ask for restaurant discounts?

I keep hearing people complain that restaurants will not give them discounts. Why are the discounts necessary? When out, I order a normal meal, then bring leftovers home. I had a revelation today that maybe there is reason other than money that people prefer to order half-meals. Is it because of the grazing that may happen while it sits on our plate (which I am guilty of)? Or the compulsion to eat the leftovers as soon as possible (which I can see me being guilty of also)? Or, is it the food forcing on our dining partner (my chubby hubby can attest to this one!)? I understand some think they're not getting their $ worth at a buffet, but we avoid buffets. I am talking about a normal sit-down restaurant. Why do you order from a child's menu or try to order 1/2 an entree? Thanks!
