Why do Chinese takeaways give me prawn crackers when I don't eat them?

I always find this strange when I just put them in the bin.

Do birds eat these? I would not want to put them out for the birds and some rat comes and eat them and neighbours are like saying I am attracting rats by doing these things.
If they are free I can not ask for them to taken off my bill. Also I do not want to offend them as I think they might spit in my food or give me extra small portions as a punishment.
You think it's better for you to waste their food that they've given you for free rather than save them money? I think they'd be happier saving the money than giving you free food which you are going to chuck in the bin without touching.
I would imagine that rats are the least of your neighbours worries.
One, because as has already been pointed out, the simple fix is to simply decline them when ordering.
Two, because Prawn Crackers are amazing. I actually pay for a bag even though I know I'll get another free, I love them!
Yeah but I don't want to be rude and assume that they are going to give me anything for free. If I had a choice I would choose free delivery although I know it's not a food item so not sure that would count. Also in the Chinese culture they get upset if you turn stuff down like your insulting their family way of life.
If there was a homeless shelter or something I would be happy to pass them on but it would have to be like once a month due to fuel costs.
I can not eat a crunchy snack knowing that part of it was once swimming in the largest mass of water in the known universe.
Good for you. I share the opposite opinion - still makes no difference to the point at hand. Just decline them.
you seem to be assuming that something even remotely connected with prawns is in prawn crackers, not just carbohydrate, msg and artificial flavouring.
Really? You obviously have a very high opinion of the people who serve you your food.
Are you mental?! Firstly, there is no chance that a prawn cracker from your local Chinese will contain ANY prawns whatsoever. Secondly, I would hate to see the state of the prawn crackers you intend to leave to these homeless people after a month, the prawn crackers from my local Chinese are soft and soggy the next day.
If you honestly believe that if you decline the prawn crackers then the staff will spit in your food or give you smaller portions then you maybe need to find a new takeaway.
Honestly...I despair :rolleyes:
Prawn crackers contain 17% prawn. I found this out when becomnig a vegetarian. I am yet to find any that are just flavouring
Yeah, just done a quick survey on Tesco online and all the 3 types they sell that list ingredients list shellfish as one.
Do NOT give paulsmithfan any prawn crackers whatsoever!!!
They don't like them and you are causing them a terrible amount of stress over the matter!
Many Thanks
They are only fried for a few seconds, so don't have long enough to soak up much oil.
That's what I tell myself anyway.
They do that anyway.
They also masturbate into it if you're rude to the waiters in the restaurant.
Ooo i like your thinking! I shall adopt this train of thought when i have finished my massive meal and still munching them (addict!)
Yes, never send any food back as the whole team of chefs take turns defecating on it.
Either that or they go the other way, don't do anything to it whatsoever, then bring it back out. The customer then goes "ah, much better!" and eats.
Me too!
I can be totally full from the actual meal but I always have room to finish of the Prawn crackers! Might as well as they will just be soggy by the next day.
lil trick i picked up.. if they are the good sort of prawn crackers (thick!) then if you put them in the fridge they keep their texture better :cool:
Set up a webcam in your home, send the link to your local chinese, let them see you put the prawn crackers in the bin.
Hey presto! You won't get any more prawn crackers because they will know you don't want them rather than somehow having to be psychic.
