Nah. They take away physical menus because they need them for the next guests. Restaurants never - even high-end ones (which might be surprising, but high-end restaurants have more-expensive to produce menus) - never have enough menus. Owners skimp on printing menus because they're as penny-foolish as any other out-of-touch manager. At the worst places waiters hurry guests' orders, and hang around trying to intercept menus from each other. It creates a whole load of unnecessary stress: just make some more damn menus!
