gnaivah?
Question
I work for a company that reimburses me up to a certain amount of money for meals when I travel on business (which is frequent). If I don't use the travel meal allowance for the day, the reimbursement is lost to me and I cant "save up" the reimbursement money for a really expensive meal. If I do not feel like eating a meal during one of these travel days is it gnaivah if I purchase food "to go" to bring home, give to my wife or to eat on another day? I've seen others take home leftover food in a doggie-bag with the boss present and it was ok, but this is different maybe because of intention. Let me be completely honest here, I would be embarrassed to do this if my boss was traveling with me. Thank you for your help!

Answered by Chaim Yisrael AbadiSafest thing to do, is to ask the boss. Otherwise its either a vadai or a safek Gnaiva. Neither is a good choice. CYA
