Okay, I think between Ladislaus' abt inability to tell (in doubtful things, liberty), and this in re restaurant work generally not a preferred choice for most, I think I'm satisfied.
But I'm not sorry I inquired abt it so at least - with the generous help of other sincere Catholics - I have thought it through. I think I will be okay eating out on the occasional Sunday, but moderate my use of this generally and not make it an ollie-ollie-oxen-free kind of thing.
Thank you all for your help!
That's precisely what I do --- settle the doubt in favor of liberty, but I don't run it into the ground, keep the work that my order requires as minimal as possible. As a rule, I rarely dine at a sit-down restaurant with a waiter anyway, can't afford to do that every whipstitch. It would be quick-service food (or even something taken off a warmer or pizza rack, such as Circle K or 7-Eleven) which requires little or no additional work from the staff. I'm not a fancy person, nor do I have money to burn.
Side point worth making, 7-Eleven cheese pizza must have something put in it. I call it the crack cocaine of pizza. For gas station pizza, it's
not bad at all. Just something about it I can't quite describe. Circle K pizza is garbage by comparison,but will do in a pinch if I'm hungry and if it's the best and most affordable option, there are far worse things one could eat if you're busy and have to be on your way, one slice is quite enough.
If it's 7-Eleven cheese pizza, one slice will not do, you find yourself wanting two.
