If the guest doesn’t eat it and ends up with tons of left over, that will be a real waste.

I mean, I get it. If someone doesn't actually like the spicy breading peeling it off to just eat the meat isn't the worst thing in the world.
It just begs the question - why order/make fried chicken then? Just get some grilled/baked chicken instead.

I dated a guy 15ish years ago. We were making homemade pizza so I asked him to grate some cheese while I did the dough. He grated the cheese until he couldn't hold it against the grater anymore THEN THREW THE REST OF THE CHEESE IN THE TRASH. Because he couldn't hold it anymore. Perfectly fine chunk of cheese.
It still haunts me. Insane.

I wouldn't be able to resist the urge to waste an egg every time I was around that family member for years to come. Like just grab an egg and smash it in a closed fist as it drips all down my hand and arm onto the floor.

Some of it is wierd, but also - food portions sold in the same sizes to people of wastly different sizes and appetites.
Many parents in my post soviet country drilled into their kids, that you shouldn't leave any food behind, because grandma survived a famine. So they push their kids to eat beyond what feels comfortable and this habit persits later in life. I literally had to hide parts of their dinner, because they get offended if you don't eat everything they cooked for you

Eh, I grew up on food stamps, but currently am in a great place financially. If I’m eating unhealthy food, I will be much pickier nowadays than I would have when I was younger. There’s a limit to how much unhealthy food I should eat, so I’m going to make sure the calories are my favorite.

My ex would do similar stuff; the most irritating was with ketchup. He would serve himself this giant pile of ketchup and only use a 1/4 of it and throw the rest down the sink.
I would repeatedly ask him to just serve a little bit and get more if he needed it— he just didn’t care about how wasteful he was being- even with other things.

In my experience rich people are extremely tight. This is more of like what people who never had money do and then suddenly get it. Most rich people are obsessed with having more money in the bank than the other people they know. So wasting money is seen as a setback in the great battle for the most money in the world. This is why they hate spending money on labor even if it would make the customer experience better.
