Your mother may have told you to clean your plate. Well, now one local restaurant is taking that a step further. They're charging customers for food they don't finish. At Hayashi Ya Japanese restaurant, it's all you can eat for $26.95, unless your eyes are bigger than your stomach and then - like the sign says - it will cost you extra. When asked if he had ever been hit with a 3% charge for packing some stuff up and taking it home, Gene Nadelson of Sheepshead Bay laughed. "No, we are trying to finish everything here," he said. Patrons said they don't mind the surcharge because it helps with their waistline. The manager said he implemented the extra cost two years ago to help with the restaurant's bottom line. He said the main motivation for the charge is to eliminate waste.
