Take and scram
Grab and go describes food or services designed for quick pickup without waiting: The café has a grab-and-go section for busy commuters.
The phrase emphasizes convenience and speed—you take what's ready and leave.
It appears as both adjective (grab-and-go breakfast options) and noun (The grab and go near my office has decent salads).
