No question that wasting money and effort is bad, and you should make that note and that smaller pot. But often such things are not possible, especially if you are not cooking for yourself.
For a good pure example, I would prefer if the muffins they sell at my local bagel place were slightly smaller, even if they cost the same price.
Among the many things you have to put up with if you don't cook for yourself. (I have a pretty big appetite, so I have the opposite problem; I find that restaurant helpings leave me still hungry).
Still, I understand that some people live in conditions that make cooking for themselves hard (packed work schedule, inadequate kitchen facilities, etc). You should consider making a comment to the staff at the bakery that they sell different sizes of muffins, maybe the small ones for 15 cents less so they still make a higher profit margin. They wouldn't necessarily have to buy different muffin tins, just fill them with less dough, since bakery muffins are often all top anyway.
You could share them half/half with a friend - who also might appreciate a free half-muffin :)
