Post subject: eating in or out |

Hi
I'm curious about what one should say when asking whether "eating in or out"
in the fastfood restaurant.
Is there any specific phrase when getting orders?
Thank you
Curious

In the Canadian chain Tim Horton's the usual
question the counterman asks is: "Here or
to go?" This conveniently avoids the difference
between the British "take away" and the
American "take out."

We (in the US) also hear, "here, or to go?" But the restaurant is still
a 'take out' place regardless of the seating available.
