Saudis to pay for unfinished meals

Help

A Saudi restaurant in Damam city, the capital of the Eastern Province in Saudi Arabia, has started charging costumers who do not finish their meals.

The restaurant, named Marmar, hopes to encourage people to order only the food they need.

Customers, some of whom were surprised by the charges, said they welcomed the idea.
